Fleas...please help!!

I recently did a mutual exchange with a lady who had four cats. Within a few days I realised there were fleas in the house, so I purchased a flea spray and treated the whole house, however I think some more eggs must've hatched because I'm getting bitten to pieces and keep spotting the little blighters :( I decided to contact the council regarding fumigation, but they've just said that it only works on carpeted areas and as this place is mostly vinyl tiles at the moment, it would be pointless.

Can anybody recommend anything that will do the trick and quickly? I've been looking at the bombs, but I just don't know what to do for the best. Any advice greatly appreciated.

PS. I don't have any pets!!

    bright side, try getting hold of Indorex, you can buy it here Flea Spray It's what vets recommend.

    I have used it twice since buying it two years ago, and would thoroughly recommend it. You only need to spray it once a year :D It doesn't matter if you have laminate, you have to spray it on bedding, furniture and in the nooks and corners of each room.

    Hope this helps, I know what it's like to have a flea problem. We had one when we moved in to our house 20 years ago, ugh it was horrible. But thankfully we haven't had the same thing happen ever again since using this product.

    I can fully recommend this product, I used it a couple of years ago as one of my girls despite using frontline had fleas. I now use Advantage and haven't had a problem since, but as you have no animals, use the Indorex.
  • I use indorex or acclaim, think acclaim will be cheaper here and you get 10% off for new customers and free delivery http://www.medicanimal.com/setSessionLocale/product?product_id=940&newLocale=en_GB
