Fleas?????

Question

I am having a MAJOR flea problem.....i have a small dog and a cat...i wash them and spray them with flea spray ( they dont like being sprayed) as much as possible but its a lose lose situation because the cat runs out of the house into the grass every chance he gets and the dog has to go use the bathroom outside. Do you have any home remidies or something I can buy to kill the fleas....anything for people?? because they are starting to bite me... :(

Answer 1

try a flea collar or something like revolution.

Answer 2

Here is a good site for general information on fleas.

I would use a good product like Advantage or Frontline, Revolution...they are liquids you put on the shoulder blades and rump of your pets and can be purchased on line, feed stores and vets.  They will kill fleas for up to a month or longer.  

For the area around your home, there are many powders and natural flea products you can use but you must kill the fleas in your yard as well as the ones on your animals.  The products like revolution, advantage and frontline are designed to kill fleas in most stages of their life's unlike the poisons that only kill the adults and not the eggs.  The site I listed will give you some good information so you can formulate a plan to rid you and your home of the pests.  Good Luck.

Answer 3

Many of my pets have had fleas and the ONLY way to get rid of them is by bringing them to the vet and giving them special pills to kill the fleas. Usualy it's a pill thats given once a month, and what this does is that the medication will go through you pets bloodstream and when the fleas bite your dog or cat they will ingest the poison and die eventually they will all die off. To keep the fleas away you must keep giving your pets the medication (they are different for cats and dogs) and a lone flea will die before it gets the chance to multiply.



Hope i helped :)
