Hand Me That Flashbang
Sydney still has fleas, even after the Frontline! Bunky talked to some online quack and our suspicions about the fleas being in the carpet/furniture and not originating on the cat were confirmed. I think this means we have to nuke the cottage with some kinda fog-bomb-thing. I’m not looking forward to this too much, but I guess if we get the stuff soon, I can do it once Bunky heads up north for her summer internssociate thing. That way the cottage will be more open and clean, and hopefully the weather will be nice enough to spend outside while waiting for the deadly fumes to smoke out those darn terrorists fleas. I need surpression fire!

Well, if we are going by your Ghost Recon “Suppression Fire” strategy, you will use about 60 cans of the fog-bomb stuff and maybe kill 1 flea =p

Have you tried vacuuming the carpets and floors? We tried vacuuming the house everyday for a month, and it worked for a while until we stopped. Last night I got bitten five times on my right ankle by the same flea (I’m assuming), so I know that my poor cat is suffering a lot more than I am. We used to bomb out the house (three times a year in fact), but it never worked for us. Hopefully, it’ll help get rid of fleas in your house.
Just in case that doesn’t work, here’s a link to a bunch of things other people have tried to get rid of fleas:

And you’re completely right — those fleas ARE terrorists!

I heard that vacuuming eliminates up to 50% of the fleas, and so Bunky’s been vacuuming more lately. Hopefully it will help, as I’d prefer not to use fog bombs as much as possible. Thanks for the link!
As for Ghost Recon grenade strategy… sorry about throwing the grenade and having it bounce back and blow the entire team up T_T.
