Fleas

yes but certain types dont

Flee collars aren't bad for your kitten but they are bad for you. Flee collars include lots of chemicals. If you breathe in all of the chemicals than you and your family can get very sick. If you need to take your cat to a vet for shots and recommendations. Kittens tend to be very uncomfortable in these collars. Some brands are ok for you and your cat but read the back just to be save!

The borax will cause the fleas the release the grip on the carpet and when you vacumm they will be sucked up.

There is no purpose for a flea They are just part of the food chain.

Maybe but what organism is their prey? I've been wondering the same thing myself. I find no purpose for them other than a cash cow for flea control product manufacturers and retailers.

Only way that helped me years ago, was to go and buy a few cans of bug bombs. CAUTION!! If you do this, make the necessary precautions before you set these off. I don't know where your pets kennel is so here goes for in the home: Get all children and pets out the house, make sure you have everything you need with you before you do this, you do not want to go back in your house once you set these off. Then after so many hours you can go back into your house, all the bugs should be dead, including any spiders or any other bugs. Make sure you wash all your glasses and dishes, or put what you use alot into a plastic bag Inhaling this is LETHAL!!!!!!!!

Most pet stores sell Frontline and Advantage. While these are not approved for use in ferrets, it is safe to use the smallest kitten dose on ferrets. About one drop per pound of ferret will suffice.

Revolution is the only ferret approved flea medicine (it also kill heartworm). It is available at most vet offices.

Fleas do not eat grass. Fleas reside on the grass and feed off of humans and animals that walk through the grass.

Fish Oil. If it's a pet with fleas, rub it on the back of their neck and between their toes. Fish Oil is okay for them to digest too.

Definitely PaloSanto essential oil. It does not only repel, but heals your skin!!

Dawn dish soap works wonders on pets with fleas!

I would recommend talking to your veterinarian - there are now several very effective medications that will take care of both adult fleas and the fleas still in the egg/larva stage. However, if your house is infested with fleas (which is likely if your dog has fleas), you will probably need to hire a professional pest exterminator to get rid of them.

The silver lining here is, once you get rid of the fleas, there are several monthly medications you can start using to make sure you don't get them again.

To find out if a kitten has fleas, aside from the obvious scratching and biting, use a flea comb over white paper. Comb slow and see if little pepper spots show on the white paper. If there are any specks, then the kitten has fleas. Helen

NO! Boric acid can be quite toxic. Talk to the vet about the best way to handle this, they have some medicines that are safe, but this is no time to try anything without medical supervision.

what. the. eff.

no

Yes but they also travel by pets. The pet can then jump onto a human and after that, whatever the human who has the fleas touches, the fleas will be on too. Fleas mate very quickly so you need to isolate anything or anyone who has the fleas and then get rid of them.

Obviously the fleas are affecting him. He scratches because they bite. He could also be allergic to them. He needs to be treated for his flea infestation with a flea shampoo or some type of flea killer. It's best to get the flea treatments that kill the flea eggs too so that they don't hatch. You also need to treat the area that he lives in whether it be your home, his dog house, etc. You need to do this as soon as possible because the dog is suffering from the fleas. He can also become ill if not cared for.

Absolutely not! Bleach is a toxin and if your cat actually drinks her water then she can die, or get very very sick.

Even if the cat doesn't drink the water, bleach is extremely toxic, and can cause serious and very painful illness, even death. Use ONLY products made for cats to remove fleas.

Kangaroos do not have fleas unless they have been in contact with domestic pets.

Kangaroo rats of North America, which are not remotely related to kangaroos, are more likely to have fleas.

Yes, definitely. Fleas can infest almost any mammal. For example, I took my cat outside for a stroll, and a few days later I was itching like crazy. So was she.

If you think you have fleas from your cat, I suggest flea bombing the house, flea shampooing your cat, and yourself.

Go to local walmart and get bug bombs-cans of a premixed insecticide that dispenses in the form of a fog. You need to read the instructions and buy quantity needed as per the instructions and use accordingly. If Walmart doesn't have them try hardware stores - farmers cooperative-feed and seed stores, ect. --May have to fumigate more than once to completely solve the pesky little problem because of new hatchings.

There's no residual with the bombs, it's best to have done professionally. Pet(s) & yard(s) should be done at the same time. Frequent vacuming necessary after treatment to stimulate new fleas to emerge. Discard contents of bag outside in sealed container. Focus on pet resting areas. Fleas can continue to emerge for a couple weeks after a treatment. With the bombs it would take far too many applications & very difficult to get consentration needed for an effective kill. The larvae are deep at the base of your carpet fibers & penetration is key. Determine pest is actually fleas & not misidentification. Set out glueboards for a few days & see if you pick up any. Static, allergies, etc. sometimes mistakenly attributed to fleas.

I recently removed my carpet because of flea infestation. I coverd the entire floor with seven dust it been down for six days the AC been on 67 and I still have infestation fleas. What is the next step Burn the house down?

from the earth!

The once a month flea preventative topicals are great at keeping fleas and ticks off. There are such products as Frontline, Advantix or Advantage. Just put them on topically once a month and no more fleas or ticks.

no cats have different hair type and can be allergic to what is in the shampoo

The COMMON FLEA doesn't eat- it gets all the nutrients it needs from sucking the blood of humans or animals. SAND FLEAS eat dead skin.(yuck!)
Adult fleas must feed on blood in order to reproduce; however, adults can live for long periods without feeding.

They are for flying insects-not fleas. Zappers should limit to outdoors anyway for sanitation reasons. If you want to keep down fleas in the yard keep it close cropped. For indoors (if present) you need to treat carpets, furniture, etc.
