Cleaning up and treating the house and yard will help but it will not clear all the fleas. There are no products which will prevent the fleas from getting in the house except to treat all the pets in the house with a good flea prevention. There are many products on the market for environmental clean up and I recommend to discuss the options with a store representative or go online to read product reviews. Make sure to follow any and all recommendations regarding exposure to your cat as these compounds may be poisonous to humans and pets. The main control is making sure the pets are on good products. This is what will ultimately stop the infestation. Also remember every female fleas lays about 50 eggs a day and it could take up to 6 months before the eggs hatch. Therefore, you will need to treat the pets for at least 6 months. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
