I had a cat called Max, but had to sell him and ever since they came to get him I've had fleas in my house. Now trying to get rid of them, but they keep coming back. I've been finding a few a day now and I am really concerned of having them in my hair. I need some help. Does anyone know where I can buy brewer's yeast to help get rid of them?

Another good tip is to sprinkle generous amounts of salt in your carpeting. Leave overnight. Vacuum very well in the am. This will help with the problem. I wish you luck... they are nasty little critters.
You can use salt to kill fleas but not on your dog or cat as it will irritate their skin:
Obtain some highly refined household salt or sea salt. Make sure it is as finely ground as possible, almost to a powder consistency. Sprinkle it lightly but evenly over your carpet. Brush or rake it in. Leave this in your carpet for 12 to 48 hours, then vacuum thoroughly.
You must continue to use some method to kill fleas in your home every few days as salt kills fleas but not their eggs. The flea eggs keep dropping from your pets into your home and hatching into more fleas.
You most probably have had fleas in your house for as long as you had your cat but were not bothered by the fleas as they had Max. Now that Max is gone, you are the only animal around so they use you in their life cycle. The flea life cycle includes your pet, your house and you, all in ever repeating cycles. Following is a website for flea control using non-toxic methods. However, if these do not work, you may need to resort to more toxic methods. Included in the website is good information regarding how fleas continue their lives after a pet is gone.

I don't know for yeast but Raid makes a carpet spray that kills fleas. Or you could try the 'home fumigation' of a bug bomb treatment. Both should be easily available at your local Walmart and relatively simple to use.
