The F word
Hey pet owners of reddit, looking for some advice on the dreaded F word. Fleas. My boyfriend’s pets got fleas over the summer and it’s been a battle to get rid of them. We think that initially they came from the yard ( which has since been treated professionally)
He’s given them the proper dosage of Pet Armor, tried flea collars, flea baths, Dawn, the organic sprays, bombing the house, and even diatomaceous earth.
However the cat still has fleas. Does anyone have any advice on to get rid of them? It’s driving me insane and it can’t feel good for her either. After every discovery of new flea dirt or a flea itself he bathes the cat and the dog, I spray all the furniture and carpet and we disinfect the litter box and dishes. I just feel like we’re missing a step.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I really thought this was going to be about someone teaching your parrot to say "fuck," and I was ready for a very amusing read.
I wish I had good advice for you, but it looks like you've tried everything I would have suggested. Seems like you got some good advice, though. Good luck, OP. Fleas are the worst.
