The advice you've been given here is good. There has been lots of stuff over Facebook about how the Bob Martin cat stuff is seriously dangerous for cats.
IMO go to the vet, get the proper flea/tick stuff - Stronghold or Advocate and use it every month without fail. Your cat will be a lot happier too. Also get them regular worming tablets.
As to the fleas, if you treat the cat properly, they have a limited source of food so should die out naturally. Keep vacuuming and dusting daily. The Vet will recommend something. Be wary of over the counter home sprays as some can cause allergies in people.
I remember reading in an earlier post someone was having a behaviour problem with a cat. Feliway plug in could help.
Shoosh-
Yeah I won't use it again.
I went to the vet this morning. They say she's doing just fine, nothing is wrong. I can't use stronghold (which they sell) for another 3 weeks minimum. Otherwise it would be a double dosage and it might kill her. They are expecting a restock on tuesday, so I'm going back next week to get it, so I have it in my house. She get's anti worms every 2 months. I should have done anti flea more often and I will.
Vet recommended vacuuming daily for a few weeks but no mopping.
Behaviour problem of my cat is, because I only found out recently, she's deaf. Feliway might be a nice addition. Should check out the prices when I pick up the stronghold.

Indorex? That stuff contains permethrine. That kills cats :S That stuff is really dangerous.
"Permethrin is one of the most common causes of poisoning of cats in many countries, with many thousands of cats affected. However, the frequency with which this occurs will depend on the availability of concentrated permethrin-based products, the regulations surrounding their availability, and the labelling used (clear warnings on permethrin products will reduce the number of poisonings through accidental use)."
As I said in a previous post on this page:
"Edit: There are two version of that spot on stuff, one for cats, one for dogs. if you use the dogs one on cats they die."
The difference is permethrine.
