JV> Fleas are like hemorrhoids, funny as hell provided YOU don't have 'em.
Yea... but when I'm combing the cats, the fleas are hopping and I end up 
with a few very itchy bites myself! 
JV> They've since come out with the flea pills that you give like
JV> heartworm medication. Seems to work pretty well. My cousin's
JV> dog doesn't seem to be bothered at all.
I've got to check the price on the pills - my impression was that they were 
expensive though.
JV> One thing I had good luck with, was Avon Skin So Soft. Some people
JV> claim it works, some say it doesn't. Way I figured it, it didn't
JV> hurt, and it may have helped. At least me and Silky smelled better.
The SSS that's like the Off! spray to keep bugs away, or just the lotion?
JV> I think the MAIN preventative is to keep the animals indoors. You
JV> may be spraying the heck out of everything in sight, but the animals
JV> that are out roaming are spreading fleas over everything you just
JV> sprayed.
One cat is completely indoors, the other is an outdoor/indoor type, but 
we've been keeping him in until the worst of this is over.
Have fun, Michele
