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! 🐾

Wow, that sounds unbelievably frustrating!!! 😱 Dealing with fleas can be such a nightmare!!! It's like they never give up, right? I know it's tough, but 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!!! You've got this!!! 💪🐱🐶
