I have fleas !!!!
Last time I checked, I had a bad reaction to chemical flea treatments. (although I am much better with chemicals now - there is some debate about just how toxic frontline, advantage flea treatments are - it is possible they cause neurological problems).
One make of dog flea treatment was actually poisonous to cats and a Vet nurse once put it together that her mums cat had been licking and grooming the dog only to become violently ill).
Lavender essential oil can be good for dogs and bad for cats - so it needs careful planning.
The best plan I have is no carpets and Hoover Hoover and Hoover... comb as many off as possible - the rest will jump of animals to lay eggs.
