So everyone here can probably agree on the fact:
Fleas bite
Fleas hurt when they bite
Flea bites itch for many days after the bite....

So, If any of us normal, level minded citizens notice fleas in our place of residence, how long would you wait to do something about it?

That day?
Get something the next day, maybe?
Worst case scenario is you wait to the weekend???
If you don't want to treat them yourself, call a professional?

Well I went to this place this morning. They called me yesterday with a flea problem, i quoted a price, got the job and showed up this morning. I was greeted at the door by a lady that looked like she had the measles she had so many bites on her
She also had 2 very small children who were covered from head to toe in flea bites.

I sprayed my jeans with Cutter to keep them off of me but they were jumping all over them
I asked the lady how long she had been with this flea problem...

And I quote....

"we started noticing them about July"

Excuse me, did you say July, as in last year??

"Yeah, we tried a couple times to spray themselves, but they just keep getting worse."

How long have they been this bad?

"Probably since Christmas..."

Sad thing is this was an apartment, where all she had to do is call the office and get it taken care of

Unbelievable ...........

gross....I'd have run down to the local vet and picked up the poor lady some Advantage.

heh heh. maybe they didn't really know what a flea market is? people that rent kill me sometimes. they dont quite understand that they are paying rent and the landlord has responsibilities and what they encompass. i know there are limitations, but a healthy environment is not too much to ask.
