Here is my Issue! I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank. It's set up in my basement apartment area. One of my family members came over and unfortunately brought flea's with her. My poor cats have had flea's for 3 weeks now, and it seems like nothing is working.
I used Sentry Guard and Comfortis for my cats and while it seems less itchy, they still have flea's on them. I use a flea comb and comb about 3 or 5 off per cat for the past two weeks. This is after I gave them Both flea treatments and a bath.
My apartment is not infested, but I am sure they are around. How else do they still get flea's? I have been vacuuming, I sprayed an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) on all of my rugs, couch, and bed. For the most part I do believe they are flea free. My issue is in the other part of the basement where the carpet and other furniture is at.
Sorry for the LONG story, here is my question. I need to bomb the basement. I need to get the flea's dead and GONE! How and with what (I assume plastic) do I cover my fish tank with? How long do I leave it covered for? For a bonus question, what is the best flea bomb?
I might go with a fogger, being it will stay low to the ground and not creep up high. I believe the carpet is the real issue, even thou I sprinkled Diatomaceous earth all around.
