[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 320852, member: 4264"] Argh! Sorry you are dealing with this. I have a strict policy that nobody, i mean nobody, brings a pet with them to visit. I've even been known to ask S/O's sister to not come visit while she is treating fleas at her house so that she doesnt' bring them in on her. Knock on wood here, but so far so good. I've yet to have a flea infestation. Years ago when I adopted 2 kittens, they were so infested that I was livid with rage at the family who had them. I've never seen such infested animals until then, not even on those animal rescue shows. They should have been charged with animal cruelty as it was obvious the infestation was a LONG one and not treated in any way. Can you imagine a persons home with a out of control infestation? I put the poor kitties in a closed box in the bathtub and rushed out for flea treatment stuff. Got myself good and clawed up as the poor kitties desperatly tried to escape the water but also the fleas that flocked to their eyes, mouth and ears as I tried to get them all. I was devestated for the poor kitties. By end of that day, they were flea free and thus started my no pet visitors policy. I also have refused since to ever have outdoor cats.
