Try Capstar pills. They work great and in a short period of time. I just got a dog from an animal shelter and they informed me that my dog (like so many strays) was flea infested. They gave him Capstar and that solved the problem. Its the only product they use.

You should bomb the house. It might take one to two hours, but it is effective. You will need to vacuum clean the carpets every day, clean any bedding and fabric furniture the cat has been near. This needs to be done often (every few days or a week at the least), and repeated for a few weeks to make sure all fleas are gone.

When the vacuum cleaner is not in use, either replace the bag inside or put a flea collar in there, as the dark and warm conditions of the bag are a prime breeding ground for eggs and larvae to grow and hatch!

Be sure to comb the cat every day on a white cloth so you can see any fleas that drop out. You can also do this in the bath. You need to do this for several weeks also as any adults that hatch will jump straight onto the cat.

Answer:

Getting Rid of Fleas:This is a topic many struggle with: ridding of fleas. There are a few simple ways I picked up and am glad to share with you.
  • CARPETS: To get rid of fleas in your carpet, try one simple thing. Salt! Salt dehydrates the skin of the fleas and kills them in a couple hours but I suggest leaving it down for a day or two. Then simply vacuum it up.
  • ON YOUR PETS: To rid fleas off your pet I suggest going to a pet's store or visiting a vet. Though it may be costly, it is the best way to get them dead and gone.
  • HOUSE TREATMENT: Another costly but worthy thing is getting a treatment done on your house. An easy tip? Put a bowl of vinegar on the ground where you notice many fleas. Keep it near a lamp or night light. Many fleas, you will notice will be floating dead next morning.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, let me know.

there is no specific brand you should use, but try and find three good brands and alternate between them constantly, because after time, ticks and fleas develop an immunity to a particular chemical. for example, use brand A for three months, brand B for three moths then go to Brand C and repeat this cycle.

hope this helps :)

Spot-on treatments from animal clinics, insect growth regulators and aerosol foggers are ways to control fleas in the house.

Specifically, active ingredients of fipronil and imidacloprid are effective in spot-on treatments. Insect growth regulators need to sprayed in carpet and the sleeping quarters of pets. Bedding should be replaced. Aerosol foggers can be used inside and out, particularly on lawns and under dog houses and porches.
