My house is infested! I own three cats, and the both they and my furnishings are swarming with fleas. We've tried all kinds of sprays, collars and drops but nothing seems to work. Anyone got any tips?

I hate fleas...
We got some special spray from the vet that stays on the cat for a few days and rubs of wherever he/she lays down, so that all those fleas get killed as well. Worked like a charm.

Teatree oil. Spray the stuff on your couch and anything else. It's good to get rid of lice (anybody with kids in grade school knows this) and will probably work (at least help) with fleas.
Wash everything (you can put teatree oil in the wash too), spray everything, boot the cats outside.
It's a WAR damnit!
Best o'luck my Floydish friend. Administer unto the fleas the final cut.

your donkey can't be helping your flea issues. better get rid of him.
and keep an eye out for the Bubonic Plague; if you get it, you'll know.
Re: Fleas! Argh!
My house had the same and we only have a dog and a cat. My dog also has a flea allergy, so for her it was hell. She was ripping out her fur on her back legs and stomach constantly, we just couldn't be there all the time to stop her. The best method we found was to just keep combing them, and you will get LOADS of fleas off, but over a week or so, they will start to go totally.

Re: Fleas! Argh!
Just like TonkaToys mentioned: try "Frontline - Spot On" for cats; even though it sounds like some FPS title, it worked wonderfully well for my cat when she was infested with fleas about 3 years ago. It's produced by a company called "Merial".
The cat just needs a few treatments (one every X weeks, depending on when the 'remaining' fleas come back; every time exponentially less though), and after 3 or 4 treatments: bye bye fleas, and never come back.

Not necessary, just burn the house down.......
