    This is what the vet is for. Sticky tape can gather flea eggs (check pet bedding), and comb out pet fur on pet and put combings with fleas in a screw top glass bottle and take to vet for an expert opinion. The flea combs sold in pet shops and colesworth are good for this.
    I’m a bit out of touch with what’s current, but I would plan on a fortnight campaign. That is, identify the problem species, then do a blitzkrieg on the currently living, then follow up with another blitzkrieg 2 weeks later to catch the newly hatched. But the vet can probably offer much better advice.

      A zillion times this on the comb. They used to cost cents, somebody has probably branded one these days. A human nit comb works too.
