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

For around the home use Borax (boric acid) on the flooring found at any grocer or drug store (approximately USD$3).kills fleas both by causing dehydration and by acting as a stomach poison in a matter of minutes. In laboratory tests boric acid damaged sperm and caused miscarriages. Just sprinkle and vacuum up and repeat two weeks later. http://www.pesticide.org/fleas.html. (See section Less Toxic Chemical Controls)

I had this problem a year or so ago and I did some research one thing I found very interesting was that the larvae or eggs that may already be in your carpet can hatch because of vacuuming so if you spray or powder your carpet and then vacuum treat the carpet again. As for your cats Adams works really well but that is also costly but the spray can be bought in several sizes but be careful if you use to much on a cat it could make them sick. Adams also has a shampoo.

My 7 week old kitten got a dose of something that fights fleas, worms and ear mites. I wish I could remember what is was called. You should ask your vet. It makes the bugs sterile.

I have only one cat who used to have fleas when I got him; Frontline worked a treat. It was recommended to me by a couple of my friends who have a cat and a dog and had tried everything (the dog going outside did tend to bring in fleas on a regular basis), and Frontline was their conclusion. The cat version I saw worked for my kitty.
