@dwang -- I feel your pain. I lived in an older apartment building in Oklahoma City (humid) where there were many cats. I was flea dinner. It was borderline nightmarish after awhile, with the sudden twinge of a flea on me and constantly checking myself -- I was a basketcase! Unfortunately, nothing I did got rid of them. I covered myself in all of the Off sprays and lotion, did all the home treatment remedies, and never really got rid of them. I would have good days and bad days, depending on the season. Ultimately we got rid of all our furniture and rugs and moved to LA (not simply due to the fleas, that was an added perk). Haven't seen them since. In summation, the only advice I can offer is to get rid of everything and move to the desert. Again, I feel your pain.

On another note, I now have a little dog (8 lbs) and I'm looking into getting flea/pest control for him, but after reading about how little dogs get sick from Frontline etc, I'm leery of administering that stuff to him. Anyone know of an alternative, or does anyone have a success story when applying these types of medication to a little dog?

Thanks!
