I have 2 cats and fleas. They both have a flea collar which doesn't seem to work. I have given them each an advantage treatment. I will be giving them a second dose later this week (at the 2 week mark). I have vacuumed a few times and done bedding laundry and sprayed Adams flea spray around. They aren't leaving. Now What?

The majority of a flea problem is environmental. It is best to have the cats treated at a vet's office while your home gets treated at the same time. Flea collars do not typically work well. The most important part of treating fleas is breaking the life cycle which takes 3 months of consistent treatment.

I would recommend getting an emergency flea ridding product called Capstar (available at your vet and possibly local pet store) and giving the cats this. This will rid all fleas within 24 hrs. Then I would recommend using a flea fogger (from Lowe's or Home Depot) on the home, will all pets evacuated from the house for the instructed amount of time. Then I would suggest getting the cats transitioned to an effective flea preventative such as Revolution or Comfortis (from your local vet), especially if the Advantage doesn't seem to be holding up well. Best of luck getting rid of these pesky pests. I hope that Walt and his housemate get some resolve soon. Since both pest have had a large flea load, I would suggest monitoring their stool for tapeworms (transmitted by an infected flea). If you see this then both pets needs a tapeworm deworming (i.e. Praziquantel) from your local pet store (if available) or local vet clinic. Best wishes.

Hi there. To get rid of fleas, I would recommend making sure that all of your kitties are on a good quality monthly flea control medication such as Revolution or Advantage Multi. If you have a significant flea problem already in your home or yard, you may also need to have a professional exterminator come in and treat the area at the same time you start using the flea meds.

It's best to get a flea product from the pet store. The vet will have the best recommendation and products available, so you may consider just giving a flea bath ( can get a flea shampoo from the pet store) in the meantime.
