I have gloves, masks, should I keep out of my apartment for a time after applying it?

Get a can of Knockout it is what vets keep on hand to spray the room after a pet has been in with fleas. You need to vacuum every room in your house like every single day and dump the container in a trash outside and wash out the vacuum. Fleas can remain dormant for up to 6 months. Make sure you spray really good around baseboards and trim.

We brought in a cat with fleas and did not notice he had fleas for a few days. I used a few cans of this over a month and vacuumed every room every single day. It seemed to work out and kept an infestation from happening.

A Seresto collar will get rid of fleas and ticks like a champ, we use it on all four of our animals with Revolution(for the cats) and Trifexus (for the dogs). Just make an appointment for the vet to check for FIV/FLV, ear mites, or an infection of any kind and catch the cat right before you're supposed to go. Keep it in the bathroom in the sort term and it will keep the fleas from getting ALL over your house. This flea spray is pretty great and we used to get it from my vet, USE ON THE THRESHOLD ONLY, NOT THE CAT (caps for emphasis): https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Knockout-Treatment-Spray-16-Ounce/dp/B00AT6FY6A
Hope that helps.

I got a $50 treatment from the vet that killed ALL of my dogs fleas. It was fucking magic and worth the $50. Then get this stuff. Knockout. It’s super toxic, but it’ll kill the fuck out of those fleas. Just pack up the dog and take a day at the park while that stuff is working.

I just went through this with my cat as well. Quite a pain in the ass but it is fixable. What we did was

  1. Vacuum. EVERYTHING. every nook and cranny of every room, every chair, every couch. We did this every couple days just to be sure.
  2. Washed all our pillows / blankets / clothes that were out or touched by our cat (which was basically everything since she sleeps in our closet :( )
  3. Nightly brushes with a flea comb on our dog and cat. I kept a glass of water nearby to dunk the flea comb in to stop any fleas from jumping away.
  4. Bought a couple cans of this stuff http://smile.amazon.com/Virbac-Knockout-E-S-Flea-Spray/dp/B00AT6FY6A/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1415664304&sr=1-6&keywords=flea+spray and sprayed it on all the fabricy areas in our house. This stuff is pretty nasty according to the can though so be very careful. I bought a little mask because I didn't want to breathe the stuff, barricaded our cat and dog upstairs, stuffed a towel under the door to our finished basement and sprayed it down on all the carpet and couch. I know you mentioned you didn't want something harmful to your cat so maybe this is a little too much for you, but it really did seem to work and our cat had no side-effects from it. After it dries completely it should be fine, especially if you vacuum it once it's dry as well, but of course be careful as it is harmful to cats and dogs.
  5. After several hours it dried, I went down there and vacuumed everything AGAIN.
  6. The next day I switched it up, locked the animals in the basement and sprayed the upstairs.
  7. Continued to vacuum every now and then, keeping in mind the advice about flea cycles (though the spray supposedly kills fleas of all stages, which should in theory stop it at 1 cycle)

    After 1 round of spraying, a ton of vacuuming, and getting our cat on Advantage our house was flea free in a couple weeks. (really didn't see many after a couple days actually but I'm sure they're there)

    Always good to check in with your actual vet though, these were just my experiences a couple months ago. Good luck! Sorry about all the vacuuming you're about to do :)

    Edit: Another thing to keep in mind, if you have a vacuum that uses bags, you might consider replacing the bag afterwards because the fleas can still be alive in the bag and might get out again (probably unlikely but better safe than sorry). We had a bagless, and I would empty it outside in the woods after vacuuming and then wash it out with the hose before bringing it back in.
