Yes every time I vacuum clean filter. using small one to get into corners full size for regular carpet. Do not think sofa and beds are getting done enough and living in apartment budget limits wash. Slipcovers on furniture, bedspreads, pillows, etc put in large Tarah bags with DE and hope for the best.
Yes on cats getting DE at least once a day. I have been combing 2 times a day then doing small amounts with hand to get those hidden areas.
Getting tired of the mess but finally given up on dusting and such until this is finished up.

Thanks

Thank you all for posting it is getting better I think. Have not found flea comb bit using comb with very thin combs.
In this order what I am doing
vacuum
Then comb cats
Vacuum dead fleas
Put more DE down.

Is this okay? Still see about 20 or so on soapy water dis with light, guess fleas are still going through the cycles.

If i'm doing something wrong please help me and let me know.

First time using something like this and would like to reply to each, but not sure how.

Again thank you all.

Cats need your help. I need your help. My 8 year old cats are covered with fleas. I live in Westminster, CA in a Senior Independent living on the 3rd floor, took cats to vet to get rabie shots per management May 15, 2017 did not notice anything till they started acting strange and found they were covered with fleas. Used natural products, vinegar, etc for cleaning did google search for option came across Diatomaceous Earth. Must say I have early stage Alzheimer some days are better than others. Read websites about DE purchased some at Home Depot covered the cats and brushed it in. They seemed happy, glad, more relaxed. When I brushed them the next day on a hard floor seemed like 100's were on the floor, believed I had won the battle. Later that day they started scratching again and I found your website. Thank you
Read more I realized that I had not cleaned the carpet or other furniture and the cats were jumping from the balcony to tables to kitchen floor.
New day vacuumed, cleaned carpet with professional machine, sprinkled Diatomaceous Earth on carpet cats got another treatment of Diatomaceous Earth, later maybe some difference. Placed dish under light in living room where they spend a lot of time. Morning maybe 30 fleas! should I have be happy?
Friends in building told be I was crazy to be using Diatomaceous Earth, had to get collar to protect them, have the apartment bombed with flea stuff. I got a collar, what a mistake when I went to combed them I could see many live fleas walking around having a good time, When I used Diatomaceous Earth I never saw a flea alive only died. Last night I did the light over plate with water/soap, about 20 I found this morning. Had read something about apple cider vinegar  I took a towel soaked and washed, really wiped the cat, Rye who weighs 25 lb. Fleas all ran to his groin area and back of tail, I again applies the towel and combed it was gross he ran away and hide which is rare for this loving large cat.

BEFORE I DO ANOTHER THING TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I have no help here where I live, no family, and short on cash. One more thing, believe I read something about different types of Diatomaceous Earth and wonder if I got the wrong thing. I have Safer Brand, Diatomaceous Earth, Crawling Insect Killer.


BEFORE I DO ANOTHER THING HELP RYE AND MERCEDES, HELP ME WIN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE FLEAS
