Losing a Battle ...

The fleas are winning!

Rinny has the worst of them. His infestation continues and he bawls all the time. I have completely covered his body with rubbed-in flea spray for cats and small dogs - except for his eyes and mouth, but they keep coming!

The Advantage doesn't seem to be working except on Satchel and Quincy.

I have decided, injuries aside - and I will need the bandages - that I am going to shampoo them today . I have nobody to help with it, and it is a two-person job, believe me. A friend has advised me to try it in the kitchen sink. I think the bath tub would be better because Rinny is so large the kitchen sink would be like bathing him in a teacup!

Wish me luck.

God save us!

So sorry you have to deal with this on your own. Wish I could help. Wear old clothes. Let us know how it all works out.

I put the excess of a flea collar in my vacumcleaner bag and it helped.
They are almost always too long.

Wish I lived closer. I'd be glad to help....
There may be eggs in your carpets. Shampooing the carpets will help....

Best of luck. We have had a few times when fleas have invaded the household, and it can be a total pain. I am sure you will win in the end!

Fleas (and bedbugs, flies, mosquitoes, etc.) are the bane of our existence. Sounds like WAR is about to commence. I hope your last sentence was just a figure of speech!
