I know what you’re going through. Still dealing with an infestation as I write this review. I have a 5000 sq ft home and my 2 cats had the run of all 19 rooms and 4 floors so it will take me a lot longer than someone with a smaller home or apartment. I have been through 3 bottles of this spray and it does work. There is one chair that my cat favored, and one day it started spitting out fleas! As if they all of a sudden smelled me and came out hunting. I grabbed the spray and it killed them on contact within seconds, so it does work! But for large homes, I am not sure going plant based is enough. My next move will be to bomb the attic and basement and keep using this spray everywhere else on a daily basis which is recommended if you go the natural route. I am sorry you’re going through this too. Like you, I will be vacuuming everyday, drying throw blankets and cushions on a daily basis. I’ve done more washing linens and clothes this past month than the entire last year, lol! It’s been a month and I have seen an improvement. Don’t get frustrated when they come back. Their cycle of eggs, larvae and pupae will eventually start to lesson every couple of weeks and just think of all the exercise you’re getting from all that house work, not to mention, a spotless home. We will eventually win this flea war.It has been 6 weeks and still going the natural spray route. I didn't end up bombing the basement or attic yet. Have been spraying everyday. Also, I have been mopping hardwood floors and kitchen floor with bleach added to water, getting all corners and cracks. I found dead ones in the bathroom after mopping with that! Still vacuuming everyday with a powerful Dyson vacuum and dumping outside (of course). Aside from a really strong arm (I can now beat my older son in arm wrestling), I have seen less fleas. Still seeing one or two a day on my socks, but everyday it's less and less. When I first wrote this review I was seeing 10 or more on me a day. Make sure you wear long pants, socks tucked and a long shirt. they will starve if they don't get to feed. Natural sprays with cedarwood oil also helps. It kills on contact but more so, they can't smell your pheromones. Vets will tell you that 5% of the fleas are on your pet and 95% are all over your home in every crack and crevice. They advise using harsh chemicals and an adulticide that kills adult fleas, as well as an insect growth regulator to stop egg and larvae from developing but I have proof that natural sprays work just as well. Fleas get disoriented and overwhelmed with the smell. They can't feed, they can't mate, they can't reproduce. Let's keep spraying, vacuuming and covering up everyday! Do not give up.
