We do have cats. one which sleeps on my fabric, I've talked to the local Vet's office, and they told me we DO have fleas in this area, so I bought Frontline from the office, applied the solution on the cats and was told to get a flea collar, put it in the bag of my vacuume cleaner and vacuume, it will pick up what flea stuff is in the carpet and kill it.
Im also trying the Dawn in water with a light over it. Hope all this works.
