Hi,

We recently brought home a kitten that was carrying fleas before I
noticed. He and his companion have been treated with a soapy bath and
Advantage. Now I'm worried about the apartment. I've used a spray on
the rugs and cloth furniture, but what do I do about the floors? I was
thinking about shaking a flea powder meant for cat fur on the floors,
leaving it, then vacuuming it up? Do you think this might work? what
are other possibilities? (I'd like not to fog, as I have no where I
can take the cats for the day, and am concerned about how healthy it
is).  Also, has anyone tried Program? Is it worth a few tries?

Thanks,
Amy

I would go with diatemaceous earth (not the kind of swimming pools, but rather
use food grade)  http://tinyurl.com/2vs3r
