Flea help!!!!!

I need help with fleas before I go insane and lose my mind. We were looking after a cat for a couple of weeks and unfortunately she has left us with fleas. They are everywhere
we hoovered the house from top to bottom and got the council in to fumegate 6 days ago and we moved out. Went back this morning and theirs still adult fleas jumping all over the place. The pest control guy said to leave it a few weeks and we will see results, I just don't think I can live with them until then but we can't stay away forever. Because the cats no longer there they are biting my 2 year old
I feel awful and I'm crying daily over this. Should I have paid more money and got a local pest control company in? Or do I just have to be more patient? I can't go one minute of the day not thinking about bloody fleas

Get a decent house spray.
Hoover everywhere, under everything. Mov things. Pay special attention to crevices and under cushions.
Spray the indorex everywhere then follow the instructions.
I had an infestation last year don't this sorted it.Sigless0 -
For years now I have never actually spayed or put onto an animal in case of allergy.
Spray house.
I used to move out for the night and spray whole place with Nuvan Top, now I use RIP.
Never had fleas for years now.Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.0 -
Hoover everything, spray the house with RIP and go out for the evening (preferably overnight), leaving the windows on vent.
It stinks. but really works.
Our cat use to bring back loads of fleas. and occasionally still does.
The vacuuming makes any unhatched eggs hatch (so I've read) and the RIP nukes them! Best of luck. I hate fleas. Makes my skin crawl.0
