Our cats had a bad flea infestation (we had been treating them correctly but the treatment didn't work so we had to get a different method from the vet)
You also have to treat the house as the critters jump off the animal when full and jump onto any passing body when they next need a feed. Hence humans get little bites near the feet and ankles.
We decide to use flea bombs rather than the spray method. OH bought two - one for upstairs which we put on the landing with bedroom doors open , one for downstairs in the living / dining rooms.
We have also put all washable soft furnishings through a hot wash.
You remove all plant and animal life, close windows and doors and light the bombs on a firm surface. We used old trays.
You also need to remove smoke alarms as we found out to our cost!
They must be left undisturbed for four hours.
We and the cats are confined to kitchen, conservatory and garden. The two rooms are not connected but both reached via outside doors.
We have key to out friend G's house, a couple of minutes drive away, should we need the loo during that time.
You then open all windows and doors to let the smoke out. It looked quite alarming in our living room, which we could see through the glass doors separating conservatory and dining room. I'm glad no neighbours called the fire brigade!

We can do that just before 1.
