Serious cat flea problem? Is Sevin dust safe for my cat and home?

Question

I have read that sevin 5 dust is safe to use on cats if used sparingly and can be used on bedding and furniture if vacuumed after application. So i am confused as to what to do as i have a serious infestation and nothing else is working. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

Hi, thabks for using PetCoach! Flea infestations take about 3-6 weeks to break due to the flea life cycle. All pets in the house should be treated with a good long lasting flea preventative. For cats I recommend Bravecto or Comfortis. For dogs with Nexgard, Bravecto or Simparica. You do need to treat the house: vacuum daily and throw bags out each day or clean canister after each vacuum. Put the bag in an outdoor trash can and keep the cans away from the doors. Keep stray cats and wild life away from your doors by removing door mats and sources of food. Sprinkling boric acid powder before vacuuming can help. I am not familiar with sevin 5 dust. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-prevent-flea-and-tick-infestations-on-your-dog/ I wish you the best!
