    Is there a vet in the area? Call the vet office and get some help on this.

    We used Frontline on our cats about three weeks ago. The directions say "can be used on kittens as young as 8 weeks of age". Frontline kills not only adult fleas but also eggs and larvae. Of course, all bedding has to be thoroughly washed in hot, soapy water or replaced with new. The area around the cat bed(s) has to be cleaned or vacuumed thoroughly and repeatedly. Other animals in the area should also be treated. The fleas won't die easily, we found out.

    Advantage can be used on kittens at 6 weeks,and you can wash the bedding in 20 mule borax which is a detergent that will kill fleas.You can also sprinkle the 20 mule borax on carpet,and allow it to sit for a few hours,it will kill fleas .A flea comb is a good investment to comb fleas from kittens.They love being groomed.;)
