My two adult cats have been inside three months and kittens for two months. I made the mistake of letting the adult cats outside for a bit and they brought in fleas. I spent $140 to treat all the cats and the dog with Frontline so they are fine but my house has them.

I set out a fogger in the living room and we left for a couple of hours but immediately on return the fleas were still there. Major problem there is my clutter issue. Since the fogger failure I have picked up five bags of trash and ebay boxes, done three loads of laundry that was in the room and done three dishwasher loads of dishes. I have major issues with clutter and am pretty dysfunctional in that area but I am proud of the effort so far. But there is so much more to do and I am overwhelmed.

I read that they lay their eggs in pet bedding, cushions and stuff so I threw away two big pillows and washed the cat bed but what about stuff like my horses and walls and CDs and stuff? Where do they breed?

My plan is to sweep a 4'X4' area at a time and repeat until done with a broom (no carpet) to get all the little styrofoam pieces and stuff. I bought a shop vac and I am going to put water in it to drown the little shits and vacuum the chairs and couch. Should I do the curtains? The first time I bombed I used pyrethine but this time I am using pyrethine plus nylar because I am told the pyrethine doesn't kill eggs. I bought some pyrethine and nylar in a gallon jug to spray the floor and chairs after I fog.

What else can I do? Support appreciated because it is very difficult for me to stick to my tasks.
