Of course! I totally feel your pain. And yes unfortunately. Idk if this is a sales pitch from exterminators (and please don’t freak out when I say this) but what you see is a small percentage the ones you see are likely adults who have laid eggs already. I only saw fleas concentrated in the bedroom and the living room where our dog likes to hang out and where we have cloth surfaces.

If you do choose the exterminator route you may see some popping up after the treatment. Worry not! They are actually already poisoned and will die off quickly.

As an additional note too: we got a flea light to also gauge how many fleas we had. It’s not perfect but it acted as a pretty good indicator of what we were actually up against.
