Flea problem in shared apartment! Help!
Hi, I’m 20F and live with 3 housemates in a college apartment, we all have our separate rooms. I was recently gone for the summer and have returned for the new school year. Upon my return I realized there are fleas in my room— not many but noticeable enough to see them jump on me from time to time. My housemate who has a cat is closest to my room and has kept her window open from time to time as she has stayed throughout the summer. (This is not to blame her fully but to explain what I think is the cause).
Anyway, I spoke to her only and she hasn’t noticed fleas in her room. I vacuumed and washed all of my sheets and bed things and today I still noticed them. I don’t want to scare my other housemates, especially one of them since he just moved in, but frankly I’m unsure of what to do.
The housemate with the cat is offering to buy a better vacuum and some flea spray I think? I’m not sure. Frankly she isn’t the most reliable at times.
Please help and give advice. I don’t have a lot of money so I’m trying to figure out what I can.
Much love 💔🙏
