I have really bad flees? ?

Question

I don't know how they get in my house. My cats are indoor pets. But at my old house they got so bad that when we were moving out i had to put on sweats just so they wouldn't bite me (it was in the middle of summer!) now there back and i'm the only one that gets them really bad in my house. and i need them to go away or i have to move out. Right now i just got 6 bites in a matter of three minutes just laying in my bed. now there each the size of a quarter (and growing) how do i get rid of them quickly?

Answer 1

Well this might cost you a lot of money, but buy one of those shampoo stuff for carpets. But flea shampoo for your pets but just for now... Stay outside most of the time. Buy flea spray as well. If you do move again... Make sure your pets a COMPLETELY free of fleas and so are you. Make sure the stuff you bring with you has been washed or checked.

Answer 2

They sell pump sprays that you just spray everywhere and then wash. Or if it's really bad you can buy a flea bomb, you'll have to be out of the house for a few hours.

Answer 3

This is the middle of flea season so it's not surprising your cats have them.  Even indoor cats can get them, usually they're brought in by humans on pant legs or shoes.  Most humans don't get bitten by them but some do and get a bad reaction (like you, unfortunately).  You need to treat your cats with an appropriate flea medication (Revolution is the one we use, it's more expensive but works better) and either get rid of your carpets or spray them with an aerosol that will kill the flea eggs.  Actually I'm kind of surprised that you're feeling them while lying in bed, usually they don't go higher than about knee level.  When you see your cats jumping around high places, afraid to get near the floor, that often indicates that you have an infestation.

Answer 4

you need to flea bath your pets, then you need to wash all your bedding and anywhere the cats sleep. You need to get a fabric flea spray to spray on your furniture and carpets and such to kill the fleas and the eggs. Get a flea collar for your pets that will help so you dont get another out break. (you can also look in to flea bombs but those you have to cover food and eating wear (pots pans silverware and such0  and you and your pets need to get out of the house when you do it. (read the directions close) You get fleas even on house pets by a number of ways one is as the seasons change they tend to come in to homes they can hitch a ride on pets or on you. As you walk through the grass and such you can get on on you cloths or shoes and bring it in your house, (one flea turns to millions quick) also open windows fleas can come in to you open windows and can fit through screen holes. especially if your cats lay on the window sill they can get a flea on them from that. Hope this helps ya. GL  also get flea drops (you can use store bought) but I saw you just got another you may have a bad infestation that you need to flea bomb. using fabric sprays might only calm the problem till the eggs hatch.

Answer 5

Get rid of your bed -mattress and box springs.Before you bring a new bed set in flea bomb the room.

Answer 6

Bathe the cat with Flea medicated shampoo.

Fog the house with Flea spray.

Use drops for future flea prevention.

Answer 7

fleas can get on indoor pets, if people you know have pets and come over they will latch onto your cats, so you should get them some flea medicine...and if they are the size of a quarter i don't think fleas get that big. you might want to call an exterminator to check that out.

Answer 8

About once every three months eat a half teaspoon of powdered sulfur , this sours your blood so the fleas , ticks, and mosquitoes wont bit as much if at all. mix a little in the cats food too.

Answer 9

wash

Answer 10

you must get to a store quickly and buy one flea bomb for each room in your house. You have to set them off and leave the house for the designated time listed on the box. Take your pet with you or leave at the vet's to be de-fleaed. if you need to do this yourself, you can buy dips to bathe your pet in. Hurry though. Those fleas repopulate very fast. Go!

Answer 11

Vacuum, wash! Go to the store right now and get stuff to spray your house, get stuff for your cats. If you do this right now, you will kill them and summer is almost over.  

Also, for flee bites go get the Aveeno Oatmeal stuff. It will clear it up.

Answer 12

you should stay at a hotel for a week and have your house fumigated. fleas are nasty.
