  1. Get unscented cat litter, and clean it every day.


  2. my cat would kill them

  3. It may only be spiders or flee's mites make sure you get your cat a flee color

  4. Could be sand fleas or fruit flys.  The only thing I know to do is to clean out the pee and p**p DAILY, add baking soda to the litter and spray your house for insects (make sure it's a pet-friendly insect spray).  Good luck,

  5. They are carpet beetles or cornmeal bugs. Carpet bugs like to eat woolen fabric, hair, fur, and clothing. A cat's litterbox is a great place for hair to accumulate, and even after vacuuming, hair is trapped underneath carpet fibers.

    Cornmeal bugs thrive on things that have a cornmeal-ish texture, even if it isn't actually food. Like with hair, vacuuming does not get rid of all little pieces of litter trapped under the carpet fibers, and as long as there is food for them, the bugs will stay.

    Your best bet is to get a residential, PET-FRIENDLY pesticide and spray the area where the litter box used to be, as well as underneath where it is now. Also spray around and behind baseboards, as those are favorite breeding grounds for the pests.

    Hope I helped!

  6. just spray air freshener all over them/

    That stuff works like bug spray.
