Thank you to EVERYONE for your responses!! You guys had some really good ideas
and input that I hadn't thought of.
I do have some high grade D.E. that I forgot about that I can dust on the
floors and furniture. I'll be very careful to not over do it with that. I have
heard a lot of people comment that the 'older' flea meds aren't working well
anymore (Adv, Frontline, Rev, etc.) so I will check into the other ones that
were mentioned and just keep at it.
Happy Thanksgiving all!!
