Fleas! Argh!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

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.

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.

We used some powder that you spread around, then leave for a couple of hours before Dysonning up (why should I advertise that other company ). Seemed to work, but stinks... also can't remember what it was called.

If you don't mind chemical warfare, I would suggest going to the vet to get some "Frontline"; you apply two drops of this to the cats' necks about once a month and it totally nukes any fleas.

That will stop the buggers coming back anyway.

Otherwise try shaving your cats!

I had the same problem a few years ago. Two things:

1) Bite the bullet and call an exterminator. They'll charge about $50.00 but your flea problem will be instantly wiped out.

2) Put your pets on "Program." It's a medication (pill that you give them) that makes their blood unsuitable for fleas and prevents them from being used as a breeding ground ever again.
