Cat With Fleas

My problem is that I've been spending money, for flea control at the store and nothing works. I've two grown cats and two kitties. I am looking for a precise home remedy to get raid of the fleas. Thank you so much, if you can help me.

Diatomaceus earth, food grade, not pool grade. Rub on cats and their beds, throughout the house if necessary. Not harmful to pets or people. Available in home improvement stores in the garden area.

You need to find the source and treat that too.

There is a pill you can give your cats and dogs that will make all the fleas on them die within 30-60 minutes. It is called Capstar and you do not need a prescription from the vet for it. You can buy it at Nationalpetpharmacy.com or check with your vet as they sell it too. I've used them on my cats. I usually put my cats in a crate outside with a towel or sheet on the bottom after giving the pill to them. The fleas will die and drop off the cat and onto the sheet/towel. This would also be a good time to bomb/spray or use salt/baking soda to get the fleas out of the house. The pills are safe and can actually be given every day if need be.

RE: Cat With Fleas

My cat has fleas and so we do a weekly flea test, and after the test they get so happy. You should try it. They hate being tested but feel so good when the test is done. (12/28/2008)

I have 3 cats, 2 Persians, and 1 Himalayan and I also have a Shipoo. My cats have never been outside except when Nolan (my big white Persian) ran out. Now they have fleas.
