OK my house is infested with fleas. It is nasty and gross. Help how do I get this under control. Oh yes opps forgot to tell you. We have five 8 week old kittens which we are about to give away soon. But they are infested with fleas. We also have 3 cats that are infested with fleas. One cat is 2 or 3, other cat is 1 and the other will be 1 soon. Just not to sure what we can do with the kittens. And the are just all over us also. So if you can tell me a safe way to remove the fleas from the house and the kittens and cats that would be great. Thank you so much.
First buy frontline for your adult cats, it works very well. Second get flea collars for good measure, as for the kittens You can bath the kittens in warm anti-bacterial dish soap, all you need to do is drown the fleas and as you wash the little guy the fleas will make their way to his head simply pick off the few that make it there. Do not use anything to kill the fleas on the kittens as the kittens is to young, Make sure you pick up where the kitten was to try and remove the fleas from his bedding.
Once the kittens is old enough you can buy flea control, I think eight week you could place flea collars on them. Now that you have the cats under control, you can buy Raid Flea Killer Plus Carpet & Room Spray this is a spray not a fogger, Let me tell you it works, I run a guinea pig rescue, I can have in my home at any given time any where from 7 to 50 piggies. To top it off I have 2 cats one Pit-bull and all kinds of other random animals in and out all the time, there are no fleas in my home. It is safe around animals and I have used this for about 10 years, I could not survive with out it. Last with out beging rude, because I am not trying to be may I suggest spay and or neuter,
I have posted the picture so it will be easier to find in the store, (O:
There's a couple things you can do...
1) go to your vet (or any vet office) and buy each cat and kitten Frountline Plus. They make it for cats and kittens (6 weeks and older)and it will cost about 5$ each. All fleas will be dead in 18 to 24 hours. You'll want to vacuum to get any eggs out of your carpet, if not...no worry, as soon as they hatch and get on your cats to feed, they will paralyze before they have a chance to bite and then soon die. This is the easiest and surest way to rid them - it will last 4 to 5 weeks and you don't have to do anything at all.
or... you can just get the Frountline for your adult cats, wash the kittens in a flea soap (dawn dish soap kills fleas), vacuum real good, treat house w/ flea spray (can get at walmart), then vacuum again and keep kittens inside.
With this method, you may have to wash the kittens and treat the house several times before you get them all.
I had a big flea problem several years ago and bought Frountline plus from my vet, by the next day, I never saw another flea. Where I live I have to buy it April through August, but I never see a flea or tick and it's cheaper than spending all the money on flea killing products to treat the house and pet that don't work well or have to repeat every couple of days.
Good luck.

another way to get fleas out of your home is put low pans of water on floor with floating lighted candles, the fleas will jump to the flame and burn or drown
When the Pets forum was split, I think this one should have gone to cats, so I moved it.
With severe infestations, it may be necessary to insect bomb the house. I am not sure if the Raid kills flea eggs too. If not, with in 2 weeks, they are back. If the cats go outside, you will have to treat the yard too.
I was going to ask how to get fleas out of my house. My son came to stay with me for a while and brought his kitten. Now my house and my cat is infested with fleas and they are driving me mad!!! I was going to get flea bombs but they are a pain with a flea infested cat I would not ask anyone to keep in their house so they can have fleas too. I also have a fish tank that will be a pain to get out of the house. I had no idea Raid had a flea spray. I think I'll try that first. Thanks for that information lilfyre!
