well shit. Guess who had an adult flea found on them at the vet.
Thankfully we don’t have any carpets, curtains now on the line, next lot of hot wash on, beanbag in a vacuum bag in the sun with diatomaceous earth, goop on everyone… thankfully we don’t need to worry so much about skirting boards and cracks, those get dusted with DE regularly for bastard ant invasions
They’re not bedbugs. And we use advocate, which uses Imidacloprid, which not only spreads across the cat, but also sheddings, turning the lilttle darings into walking flea nukers.
Envying the lack of carpet. If you wanted extra options to spray the house Sundew flea spray has imidacloprid instead of pyrethrins. So while the scent won’t be good for the cats it’s not outright toxic.
And I think it was Capstar that was instant knockdown for the adult fleas.
I’m trying vanilla because I have a genetic hatred of lavender (I’m not even kidding multiple family members hate the smell). Has shipped express today, hopefully comes before da weekend

Oh do you know where I can get Diatomaceous earth? I tried looking at Bunnings online but it’s a piece of shit website now 😂
Would it be at like, garden stores? I’m thinking of getting food grade for the stupid carpet moths.
Good thing you caught the fleas early! They breed like freaking rabbits 😭
vitec is the only one I trust, they do food grade. Can buy direct from them, or any place that sells stock feed edit: updated link.
Amazing!!! Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Ebay probably has it still. Get food grade, not the kind used for pools.
If you can’t find DE, silica gel dust is more powerful and you can get a rubber bulb for dusting it finely. It’s sold as Cimexa.
Beware though, it’s super fine so hangs in the air for ages and is an inhalation hazard. Wear *mask and avoid breathing it (silicosis).
Totally cool if you don’t want to use it
Full encasement covers for mattresses. Encase, leave on for at least 6 months. Must kill all generations…

Yah we have some sundew on the way, also his lordship is picking up some exelpet spray at coles as we speak.
Let me know how it is, I wanted some but don’t know how strong it smells.
Edit: Careful of the Exelpet though 😬(I just checked before because I was going to buy it.)
