Wouldn't an aerosol 'Flea Bomb' help? Anything that kills fleas and their eggs should sort most insects out, I'd imagine. The bombs we get here are Pyrethrum based, set 'em off and vacate the room for a couple of hours... the effect lasts for a couple of weeks, and then the cat brings in another pregnant flea... Worth a try at about $7 a bomb. Anyone had any success with them? Or tried it and failed?
