Give your cat a bath using Dawn original blue dish soap. It will
kill the fleas! I didn't believe it worked, but after trying
several products from the vet and over-the-counter, I decided to
try it. It worked better than anything else I tried!

Are there any home remedies for ear mites in cats?
As far as I know there are no effective home remedies for ear
mites. Ear mites can be a huge problem, take a while to cure and
the mites can migrate to other areas of the cat, such as the face,
and even under the nail beds. You need to give effective medical
treatment and ensure that any other cats in the home also are
checked long term for mites as well.
Another Answer
Both of my cats have ear mites pretty bad. I took one to the vet
and she gave me flea medication for both of them. Theirs ears
cleared up in less than a week. She also said that ear mites are
much easier to get rid of than fleas so she gave me two flea
treatments and said they should be gone shortly.

Are there any home remedies to kill fleas on a dog?
Bathe the animal in warm water with original dawn dish soap, the
fleas will start jumping off immediately! Not sure how or why it
works so well but i swear by it now. If your dog is prone to dry
skin, you will want to find an oil treatment to use the day after a
bath.
