Fleas

[thumberlina]

What can I use to get rid of fleas in my flat without using chemicals, my cats keep bringing them in!!

Get some spot on or frontline to treat your cats. You must do it regularly though.

You need to keep vacuuming and treat the cats as eash says. But if you have fleas in the flat you may have to use a chemical spray to get rid of them. The sprays are very effective

[thumberlina]

I do thi every mnth and it doesn't make the slightest difference they still always seem to bring them in!!

Here is an organic flea treatment but it ain't cheap!

you could try a steam cleaner if you know someone you could borrow/ hire one from

[thumberlina]

thanks for te advise

You need to treat your flat as well as the cat. Frontline spray is more effective than the spot on, and get some Indorex or Acclaim for your flat.

Try petmeds.co.uk as they sell frontline half the vets price. if you treat your cat every month they wont get fleas or ticks. the fleas are probably in your carpets and just keep breeding. to get rid completely you will need to treat your whole flat . Try a local company

You really should apply frontline regularly to your cat, it must be frontline, the cheaper spot on treatments just don't work at all, they're a waste of time, buy a spray from your vet to treat your flat, and as long as you keep up the frontline treatment, you won't have a problem again.....hope this helps!

Please do get some frontline treatment for your lovelies... it's not fair to expose them to nasty critters like fleas and mites. Frontline is easily available on the tinterweb, at a fraction of the price from the vet and it will make your lovely cats lives a lot happier, honest ! I get mine from PetVetCare... cheap and rapid delivery too !

Fleas can kill a kitten and seriously harm a poorly cat, as well as not be too nice for any humanoid visitors, so please get some proper treatment for your lovely cats.

Get RIP from your vet.......spray EVERY room thoroughly. It will kill fleas, and their larvae for at least 6 months. it really does work. Also...DO vacuum,,,every day for the next few weeks if you can.

On the odd occasions our cats've brought fleas into the house, I spray them - and the home with Nuvan Top from the vets. It's brilliant, but cats hate aerosols, so I put mine in a carrying cage, then spray them, being careful not to direct it towards their faces. You won't see a flea for miles when they've taken that stuff in.
