What flea treatments REALLY work for cats2007-11-25 12:28:14

Our cats have fleas and we've tried everything. Are there any real alternatives to Advantage? We have 5 adult kitties and 4 kittens, so advantage is cost-prohibitive. I'm allergic to flea bombs, but I haven't reacted badly to flea powder, so I could sprinkle that liberally on the floor, if need be. Suggestions, anyone?

Answers:

Advantage always worked for me, but if it's not working for you, I would say maybe take them to the vet.. Good luck!

Not the vet but your local pest control company will have a formula that is applied to the back of the cats neck. It is stronger than the one you get at the vet and it works.

As for the fleas in the house this will sound strange but put a saucer of water with a few drops of lemon joy in it and set it on the floor. The fleas will flock to it. It is amazing how this works.

I use Frontline Plus on all 4 of my pets and I've never had fleas.

I've had luck with Frontline and Advantage. Talk to the vet, there's other kinds like that. But yeah, they are expensive. What I did this last time, we have a farmer's Co-op store, they had this Frontline spray (in a bottle). It was 45.00, treats dogs and cats (I have 5 total) It's worked on all of them, except my one dog, and his hair is real thick. Bottle's lasted me about 3 months.

I scrub my cats and pick all the little stinkers off.
