Answer 1

Powdered Tide laundry detergent will kill the fleas in your carpets.  You sprinkle it on and leave it for about an hour, then vacuum it up.  Or steam clean your carpets.  It's weird, but the Tide thing really does work!  The problem is, even though you are using so many diff. flea killers, as long as they are in your carpet, you won't be able to get rid of them.  

Answer 2

i use a nit comb and brush my cats every night, the get rid of them, i dont ise collars because my cats hate them, when i brush them they think its play time so they dont bother, and i give them some treats after!!  

Answer 3

For a start, you shouldn't put that much flea stuff on the cats- you could make them seriously ill. It all interacts, you know. ONE flea product is sufficent.

Also, they're most likely still getting it from the carpet or fabrics where fleas still live, even though you've used a bug bomb. Use a flea killing spray to target certain areas for the carpets etc., and take the cats to the vet to get some Frontline.

Answer 4

use front line x  

Answer 5

Lots of flea stuff only keeps the fleas from reproducing....it doesn't kill them.  Use a flea comb to get rid of what you can from the cats and then vacuum the house.  It should ease up as the older fleas die off.

Answer 6

my house cat got fleas from a friend bringing them into the house. she had lots of outdoor cats and the fleas where in her clothes when she came into my house causing my cat yto get them.

we tried everything to get rid of them but nothing worked. eventualy we took him to the vet and dicovered he was alergic to them.

if possible ask a friend with no other pets to look after them for a while, by removing the cats from the house the fleas will have nothing to live on as they cant survive on human blood. eventually they will all die out.

other than this i cant think of anything else as it sounds as if you have tried everything you can, so you really should ask the vet for advice and explain your situation. good luck, they are nasty horrible little buggers lol
