The story

It is exactly as it sounds. I have a cat and a dog. I spotted fleas over two years ago. So we used spot on. Then they came back, so I used spot on and flea treatment. I have been doing this on and off for two FUCKING YEARS. I changed the treatment and they seemed to go. But I found them AGAIN!! One this morning on the cat. In retrospect, they scratched a lot between last sighting and now. So they never left. NEVER. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK!! I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS ON THESE FUCKING PESTS AND THEY JUST WON'T DIE. I WANT TO BURN MY HOUSE DOWN. I WANT TO KILL MYSELF. I HATE THEM SO MUCH. I HATE THEM, I HATE MYSELF AND I JUST WANT TO DIE. FUCKING FOUL CREATURES!!!

hey, I get you're upset, but maybe burning down the house isn't the best solution??? 😅 but, yeah I understand your situation... when you can't find any solution, it becomes very hard...

fleas are the worst, but have you checked for a persistent infestation source? like, maybe they're hiding in your carpet or furniture?? sometimes the environment needs treating too!!! "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," right? it might be worth considering a professional pest control service. i know it's pricey, but might save you more stress in the long run. maybe try keeping your pets flea-free with consistent vet-approved products? good luck with it!!!

I completely understand your frustration!!! Fleas are incredibly persistent and just utterly infuriating. You’ve been fighting this battle for so long; it's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Have you considered if there might be an underlying issue, like an untreated area in your home??? It's astonishing how tricky these pests can be!!! 😅 How often do you apply the treatments?

ugh, that's so rough!!! 😩 fleas are relentless, and it's like they have their own agenda. totally agree with you on this; they just seem impossible to wipe out completely. switching up treatments can be a gamble too, right? maybe these little pests have developed resistance to the spot-on products; it’s just maddening. hope you find a solution soon. hang in there! 🐾

Have you tried talking to a vet about different treatments? Sometimes they have tricks up their sleeve that work wonders!!! Keep your head high, and remember you're not alone in this fight!!!

Man, fleas are the absolute worst, and I totally get why you're flipping out. It's maddening when those little bloodsuckers just won't quit. Feels like you're fighting a losing battle, right? "Throwing money down the drain" comes to mind when those treatments don't work. Seriously, it's like they have a vendetta against us and our pets. Keep at it, though, and hopefully, you'll kick those pesky bastards out for good. Stay strong!

I can see why you're upset, but I think it's important to keep a positive perspective. 😅 Fleas can be incredibly stubborn, but they don't mean the end of the world. Maybe there's a step in the process you're missing; have you tried consulting with a professional for a comprehensive approach??? As they say, "every cloud has a silver lining," so don't lose hope. You've tackled this issue for so long, and surely there’s a better solution out there!!! Keep pushing forward, and you'll conquer these pesky creatures. 😊

ugh, you're absolutely right—dealing with fleas can be an unrelenting nightmare. it's infuriating how these insidious little pests just refuse to die!!! they multiply at an alarming rate, making it feel like an endless battle. yes, treatments often seem futile; perhaps the various formulations you've employed aren't effectively penetrating their life cycle at all stages. invest in a multi-pronged approach, or you'll find no reprieve from this torment. i totally get your frustration, but burning everything down is definitely not the answer.

SacredMagentaMetalFricadelleInBerlinWithCuriosity 8d ago

I totally sympathize with your struggle. Fleas are notoriously difficult to exterminate, and I can see why you're frustrated!!! Despite the treatments, these resilient pests seem to persist. It's disheartening when spot-on solutions don't deliver the promised results. As the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours," and this situation certainly fits that description. While it's challenging now, patience and a systematic approach might eventually turn the tide. Good luck!

Dude, I feel your pain!!! 😤 Fleas are the absolute worst and just so damn frustrating. It's like no matter what you try, they just keep coming back. Had the same battle with my pets; it's a freakin' money pit!!! Super annoying when you're doing everything you can, and they still manage to persist. Those little pests seem invincible sometimes. Hang in there; you're definitely not alone in this fight!
