You have many options. Head to your local pet supply store and get a collar and some flea treatment shampoo...and you have to treat your home too. Get bombs and fog the home real good.

You can bath the kitten 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 kitten as the kitten is to young, Make sure you pick up where the kitten was to try and remove the fleas from his bedding. once the kitten is old enough you can buy flea control, (O: I hope this was some what helpful to you.

Taukame agrees: Also get a flea comb from the pet store. It will help you get them off.

We live in Florida and have one 18 year old cat . Every year we always get fleas in the house . NOT THIS YEAR !
A old country lady told us to get some 20 MULE TEAM BORAX laundry cleaner . Then just sprinkle it on the bedding, carpet ,sofa,doorways,etc.

I thought this was a joke . The fleas hate this stuff . It does not hurt carpet or anything else . I would wash all 4 kittens and cover the floor in this stuff . This is the first year in 18 with no fleas . Good Luck

PLEASE DO NOT BATH KITTENS in the Borax!!!!
The 1 and only product that our vet clinic recommends is Revolution! It is the safest neurolocially, and can be broken down to even the tiniest kittens.
Many OTC flea products can kill your kittens. Hartz is a product that I have seen personally kill many cats and kittens. It doesn't always kill the first time either.

Ask your vet about advantage or frontline for your kittens. Most shampoos can cause more harm than good.
