probably be careful use that spray stuff
how do u get rid of bed bugs i hate them
well hmm, well maybe its not good ideas if the cat does have ticks or fleas might cause red rash or inching skins to human skins . if you do sleep with in bed with bugs that came from the cats then i think you should take out youre bed sheets and pillows and wash them with hot water to take out and clean out the sheets . if you dont you might caught the bed bugs and its not good to spread germs on human body . you dont want to be infected . so the one way you can do take care of the fleas and other kinds of bugs that the cats carring on their furs is getting them some ticks and fleas medicans .
yes use Lysol spray
“Although humans are the preferred host, bed bugs feed on many warmblooded animals. Animal hosts include poultry, rats, mice, dogs, cats, pigeons, canaries, rabbits, and guinea pigs.”
“Their primary means of dispersal is through human activity, i.e., people move them from one place to another in luggage, laundry, etc. Animals, particularly birds and bat, may be involved in bed/bat bug dispersal.”
