We recently had my friends daughter over to stay the night. Bedding was brought over from another friend who has 3 cats. Now all the bedding was clean and fine but my husband and I are now covered in flea bites. . . and flea bites they are! and also we don't have ANY pets at all. I assume that the fleas probably arrived with the cot and bedding, which is also being stored at my house.

My concerns are, A) how do I get rid of them? B) Once the bedding etc is removed from my house, will the fleas stay???

Cat fleas can only reproduce on cats so will eventually die out.

Borrow a neighbour's cat for one night and then send it home when all the fleas have climbed aboard. Job done!

Once you have fleas in the house,they can lay eggs! The best remedy is to buy a bomb-seriously,they work well.Maybe you ought to thoroughly check the bedding+the cot,perhaps give the bedding a hottish wash.Good luck. I bought one of these bombs on Amazon for about £17,they provide a mask and gloves,for a friend who was desperate.
