We have laminate flooring and leather furniture - where are the fleas living?!

I am considering purchasing Ultracide to backup the spot on flea treatment used on my dog and 2 cats but I'm not even sure where to apply it. We have laminate and ceramic flooring throughout the house and leather furniture so I'm not sure if Ultracide is even appropriate to use. Prior to adopting the 2 cats we had zero fleas by just spot on treating our dog. An every-other-day flea combing reveals mostly large fleas, but it is smaller fleas we see periodically in areas of the house. I wouldn't call it an infestation, but the animals are definitely uncomfortable and I have seen a couple on myself and children randomly. Do I even need Ultracide - my vet indicated that the spot on treatment would be sufficient to rid the house of any fleas as well.

Answer:

Laminate floors do not need to be sprayed with any products; they simply need to be vacuumed, very thoroughly, every day for the next couple of weeks. All upholstered furniture, rugs and carpets can be vacuumed then sprayed with Ultracide. Flea stoppers can be applied to all rugs and carpets to help control developing fleas.  Please take a moment to read over our Indoor Flea Control article for more information
