You should wait at least 3 weeks before applying it again. You can use an oral product, such as CapStar (nitenpyram), which will kill any fleas on your cats within 30 minutes IF they have fleas. It can be given daily if necessary. To be safe, vacuum everywhere and dispose of the bag or empty the canister outdoors immediately after then wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric and dry in the dryer. Use a cat safe area treatment afterwards. You can use Indorex or Knockout ES, but you will need to keep the cats out of treated rooms until all surfaces are completely dry. Use e-collar (cones) to prevent further licking. They may need antibiotics to treat or prevent infection if they have open sores from licking. A diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) solution can be used to gently clean minor sores or abrasions.
