I'm all about the Advantage drops as well. I used them on Gizmo and it worked like a charm.

What I did to rid my house of fleas?

Put the Adavantage! drops on Gizmo. In around 12 hours or so ALL fleas on him were dead. Then I opened up the windows so the cold air would come in (fleas hate the cold) and vaccumed my house top to bottom. That included doing the couch, in the crevaces, pillows, you name it. Some people suggested I put part of a flea collar in the vaccum bag to kill the eggs that you vacuum up but I just immediatly brought the vaccum bag to the dumpster. I also steamed cleaned my carpets with a friend's Bissel Steam Cleaner.

Then I washed all the bedding (mine and Gizmo's) and sprayed a flea control spray on all the baseboards. Took me darn near 6 hours, and I have a tiny apt, but it payed off and I haven't seen a flea yet *knock on wood*

The great thing about Advantage! is that you get a 6 month supply of it. So in a month, you repeat the process (that will pick up any fleas that have hatched from eggs).

I'm sorry about the flea problem. I'd definitly notify your vet as well. Lucy shouldn't have come home with fleas! Congrats on your wedding as well! Do we get to see pics?
