Our neighbour's cat moved into our house last year. Officially he's ours now. Two days ago we realized he has fleas!!! It's horrible...our six year old has bites everywhere. I spent $80.00 on flea spray for the house, flea collars for both cats, shampoo, and a medicine that goes on the back of their necks to prevent the fleas from coming back. I've been doing laundry endlessly, vacuuming like a mad woman, and then throwing out the vacuum bags. Dh is on holidays with his Dad and brothers, and I'm here dealing with work, kids, and FLEAS!
Actually, I think I feel better now after this rant...back to vacuuming...
Fleas!

If youre still seeing them after that, you will need to repeat the process or call an exterminator.
Good luck to you!

Fern, I'll check with our vet. The instructions for the flea collar and liquid stuff (both Hertz) say they are to be used together. Thank you very much for the warning1
I'm off to get some soapy water....

My TIPS FOR A FLEA-HOME can be printed out from my website -FREE.
My Keep Fleas Off bathing and grooming treatment program makes dogs, cats, and
other furry pets seem to be invisible to fleas. My booklet (guide)
was published in 1993, but available only through an environmental group
for many years. It is now on the net and being used as far away as South Africa.
Californians for Alternatives to Toxins (CATS) has endorsed my program; see
their message on my website.
My articles have been published by The Dog Press, The Dog Place, ANIMAL
WELLNESS Magazine, Vegas News, Alachua Post and many others.

I have been keeping two cats flea-free in Florida since 1992 and I spend about $10 a year to do so.
