This woman’s sister currently has an intense flea infestation in her home.

“The fleas are so bad that her animals are nearly dying. Her dog had to have surgery, and her cat was so anemic that the vet said one more day and her cat would have died,” she said.

Her niece and nephew have been getting horrible bites from the fleas on a constant basis.

Unfortunately, her sister also has a problem with hoarding, so even if her sister proactively treated her house by using flea bombs, the fleas would be able to hide under all the stuff that’s strewn all over the floors.

Despite how serious and dangerous this situation is, her sister hasn’t been making any effort whatsoever to get rid of the fleas.

“She makes excuses that she is ‘too busy.’ She is a stay-at-home mom, and she cleans for my grandma once a week for a few hours. That’s it,” she explained.

To make the problem worse, her sister gave fleas to their mother, so she’s terrified that they will give her fleas, too.

She is a mother to a newborn baby, and she has five cats.

In order to stay on top of any potential issues, she gave flea medicine to all of her cats, and she’s been vacuuming the house each day.

“I called my mom and told her my husband, and I decided that no one from my family is allowed over to our house, and we aren’t going to their house until my sister gets her flea problems under control. My mom went silent, started crying, and ended the call,” she shared.

Before her mother hung up, she told her that it wasn’t her fault, but she expressed that she couldn’t take the chance of experiencing a flea infestation in her home.

She knew that the reason her mother started to cry was because the both of them were aware of the fact that her sister would never resolve the flea infestation.

Because of this, she would never be able to visit her family or invite them over to her house.

Plus, if her mother continues seeing her sister, she will always get fleas from her sister.

Understandably, she doesn’t want this issue to continue.
