Answer 2

Bob Martin Flea Spot On For Cats has a terrible reputation and is very harmful to cats - it can cause neurological damage and fatalities in cats and kittens, so please don't use it.  You can call a Vet's office and they will recommend a good, safe product for you to use.

Fleas can live for several months in your house and flea eggs may hatch in your carpet, cushions, and drapes for years.  To get rid of housebound fleas use professional flea foggers in each room and sprays for hard-to-reach spots. Clean the flea eggs out of your house by vacuuming several times in a week. After each vacuuming session, remove vacuum bags and tape them closed, then throw the bags away. Also clean your cat's favourite hangouts regularly.  I would also wash all of the bedding and vacuum the mattresses.  The key is that you have to be very persistent at first and it is a lot of work - a lot of vacuuming!  But if you get your cat flea-free and use the professional flea foggers throughout your home, clean and vacuum frequently, you should have no problem getting rid of the flea infestation.  Good Luck!
