grocery store. Poke holes in the cover of a jar and sprinkle it around all the edges of your floors and under loose couch cushions. Broom 🧹 it in. Then don’t vacuum for a week or so. The borax is perfectly safe for you and your cats. When a flea lays eggs the eggs will dry up and never hatch. I did this method twice a year for all the years I had dogs and never saw a flea. In Florida I sprinkle it around the perimeter of my garage. Recently had a palmetto bug on its back dying. They crawl through the borax and then lick their feet and they die. Hope you give it a try.
