Just make sure that the pesticides are now completely dry and for good measure, vacuum again before you let the kitties run around. I also put Advantage on my 2 cats when we had that bad flea infestation in the old place. I atrakced on all fronts too, but I treated the furniture first and carpet first with spray. Two days later, I got Advantage. And yes - the fleas on the cats dropped dead within 6 hrs. They are still flea free now six months later. Good luck!

IN a highly infested location, it is a good idea to use a break away flea collar you can do this with the advanage with little or no side effets.

It would be best to let the cats out to pick up any fleas so that they will die. Just make sure the areas that the cats will lick doesn't have any pesticide on them. Keep an eye on the cats for rash's; due from flea bites that may get infected. If they get infected the cat or cats will need antibiotics.

They work in three ways - killing live fleas, preventing eggs from hatching, and killing newly hatched fleas. If the products you have used on the house have settled, it is probably safe to let them out (just make sure nothing got on their food or water). Also, fleas that manage to hatch should die very quickly whether in your carpet or on your cats. Keep in mind, however, if you had a severe infestation, that you may need to do more than one round of treatment on the cats and on the house. Consult with your vet to make sure you leave the appropriate amount of time inbetween treatments so you and your animals are not over exposed. The products you used are all pediculicides.
