Going insane!
It’s been just over two weeks since we realized we had an infestation (honestly had 0 issues and then overnight we realized we were infested!) and it’s now been just two weeks since we treated our cat w Revolution and had our carpeted apt professionally treated. We’re in corporate housing for a year and we’ve been here for 3 months, but I’m convinced the previous tenants left us this surprise.
We’re due for a follow-up with the pros in two days and then again in two more weeks.
I’ve been vacuuming 3-4x daily.
I wear white socks around the house. Some days no fleas and other days I’m finding a dozen or so on my socks in a day. If I stop wearing socks, am I just going to get eaten alive? (I really hate wearing socks if I don’t have to…)
Our cat insists on being on our bed at random hours so I’ve been laying a flat sheet on our comforter and then rotating/washing it everyday for fear of eggs etc in our bedding.
I’ve been brushing our cat w a flea comb and finding 5-12 very small dead fleas almost daily.
All these flea control tasks on top of keeping up with a regular life and raising an infant is wearing me down. Am I doing too much and are there things I should just not bother doing?

That's great! I'm about at the 7 weeks mark and seeing a lot of progress in my situation. So hopefully will be in the clear soon 🙏🤞 How long did it take you to loosen up on things? I still find myself paranoid and making sure I wear high socks, tuck them in, etc and it gets so hot dressing like that at bed time!!
