How likely are outdoor fleas to infest my home with a protected pet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I just had one more question is it irrational to think that an outdoor flea will jump into my carpet and set up shop with my flea prevented pet. Also thank you to the professionals that have helped me as I have contacted a psychiatrist regarding my OCD. Much love!!

I'm so glad we were able to help you, and I think it's an excellent idea that you have contacted a psychiatrist. I hope they are able to help you :-) I don't think it's irrational to think that an outdoor flea will get into your home, but based on your posts, I have no doubt you are fastidious about cleaning your home and the likelihood it would survive your cleaning is nil. You can use a spray to kills fleas to be safe. I hope this helps!
