Fleas 1 - 1 People

Ah fleas, fleas, fleas.

The war continues.

After a frantic five hour clean last Friday and treating Millie, we discovered that nothing had worked.  By Monday they were flouting their continued mortality in our faces.  1-0 to the fleas.  There had been a noticeable reduction, probably due to my crazy cleaning schedule, but they were still here.

So further action had to be taken.

A quick trip to Pets At Home, an overly expensive purchase of Frontline Spot-On later, and we thought we were sorted.  By Wednesday, there was no sign it was working.  Panic was beginning to set in.  I had images of us having to get an exterminator in to fumigate the place.  But then on Thursday there was a light at the end of the tunnel.  The fleas started dying!

By Friday there were only a few fleas, and as of this morning, they are scurrying for their young, insectoid lives.  So the score currently is:

Fleas 1 - 1 People.
