Evening everyone,

First of all, I’m really sorry if I’ve posted this in the wrong section, but I’ve got a HUGE problem on my hands right now.

So, this afternoon I decided to head down to the garage to put some clothes away and I found a swarm of fleas all over my socks.

Do you have any recommendations for products, solutions or insecticides that will get rid of them quickly but are definitely safe for my cat please???

Thanks ever so much in advance for your help.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I’m going to give the flea bomb a go, then.

    It’s been a total nightmare, to be honest.

    Hi, You should use a flea bomb. Make sure you place it in the middle of the room and open all the cupboard doors and furniture so that the fogger reaches every part of the garage. Remember, you mustn't be in the room while it's going off. If you have any pets, make sure you treat them for fleas as well. Mathilde

    I’m not sure if Kate’s managed to get on top of it yet, but I do know that flea eggs can hatch several months (or even years) after being laid. They’re capable of waiting for the right conditions to ‘wake up’ (temperature and vibrations that signal an animal... or human presence).

    Hi there, I’ve been dealing with the same issue since August. I’ve used flea bombs twice, but they only worked for a short while... We’ve stayed out of the garage for four months now. The winter seems to have quietened them down, and I’m hoping that if nothing has gone into the garage for four months, they won't have been able to feed and will have died off! We’ll see what happens once the weather warms up. Did you manage to get rid of yours?

    A flea bomb. You can get a professional-strength fogger from the vet. It’s safe (as long as you follow the instructions) and it really does the trick.
