Sorry to hear your news. As a former cat owner I know that animals can find "guests". May I recommend that you have a trip to Caterham on the Hill and collect an aerosol from the Vet on the Hill. What they stock is nice a lethal.

Good Luck.

Telephone number 01883 341 306. You will need to telephone - do your transaction without entering the clinic - and pick up the spray from a table outside.

I think the local pub is the Kings and Queens - Fullers.

Don't buy anything from retail/on-line. Whatever you use needs to be bought from a vet outlet. Bob Martins and such is shyte.

Wrong thread also :P

in the late 1800 early 1900 they use to light sulphur candles at one end of a terrace block , which would drive the fleas into the next house . this did not kill them but meant the first house had a rest from fleas for up to a month . terrace blocks were long in those dim and distance days .

My comments could be complete sheite, but posted from an addled memory. Fleas need a permanent animal host to feed on their blood (pet). Fleas can survive for a short time on carpets and furniture, where they might lay eggs.
Although fleas might initially bite humans, they do not care much for human blood.

The good thing is you do not have a pet. off-the-shelf stuff in shops doesn't work. Just get some flea spray from the nearest vets, and spray all your soft furnishings.
They'll all be dead in a day.

I disengage, I turn the page.
