If you only treat the cat with flea shampoo, it may not completely rid you of the flea infestation. Flea shampoo will most likely kill any adult fleas on the cat, but you have to treat the house, too. Flea eggs and larvae can live for many months in carpet, cracks in the floor and soft fabrics such as bedding and sofas.

Vaccuuming regularly (putting a flea collar in the vaccuum cleaner bag, or replacing the bag after each use stops any fleas from hatching), and using special sprays all help in getting rid of fleas.

How do you get rid of hamster ticks?

I have a hamster who used to have fleas but finally I got rid of them. I used a spray that I got at the pet store. you should spray the hamster 3 times a day . Wood chips can also bring the fleas so it is better to use dried corn instead because it keeps away the fleas. then after a while the fleas will dye and go away. After that i had no more problems with my hamster having fleas. good luck!

Shampoo does not usually go bad and smell like urine. Old urine has an ammonia type smell and no shampoo should smell that way. If by chance you are unsure of the contents of the bottle, it is best to throw it away.
