Hey team! I'm in search of a game plan.

I’ve got one indoor/outdoor cat (M, 3yo, fixed, healthy, 15lbs) who definitely has fleas, and I’m moving in about two months. From what I’ve read, that’s not enough time to totally eliminate a flea problem. If that’s not enough to worry about, my roommate’s dog has fleas and my roommate doesn’t have the money to medicate her.



My only real concern is getting my cat and my belongings into a u-haul flea-free. After that, the house isn’t my problem.



I’ve read that Seresto is sketchy but that Revolution is pretty solid. I’ve read as well that best way to get rid of fleas in the home is to use a spray and to vacuum and wash a LOT. So how can I be sure I’m leaving all the bugs behind?

Thanks!

Unless you're going to treat your roommate's dog, you probably won't get rid of the fleas on your cat or in the house.

I gave my cats Comfortis pills. So much easier than the greasy stuff on their fur.

And yes, you have to wash everything, clothes, bedding, spray your furniture, etc.
