I hope your experience getting rid of fleas isn't like mine, Twi. On two different occasions, upon adopting a new cat that brought the fleas in, my family had to "flea-bomb" our house to get rid of the little buggers, in addition to treating our cats with a medicine called Frontline. Basically we had to take these specially made canisters of aerosolized flea poison and set them off in the various rooms of our house one room at a time. Nobody, including the cats, could be in the room with the "bomb" until the room had sufficiently aired out, so it took a while to get the whole house done and ensure that no fleas were hiding in the carpets or whatever.
