Pest and Wildlife ManagementPest and Wildlife Management4HighHomeowner/Resident$ implied

A 17-year-old living with a busy single father needs to handle a flea infestation alone, without vet access or the ability to remove cats from treated areas, and seeks safe, effective OTC products for the home and cat tree.

Existing solutions require vacating the home or isolating pets, which is impossible because the user is stuck at home with cats all day and no one to take them elsewhere; also lacks clear instructions for safe application on hardwood floors around pets.
