Cats with fleas scratch and bite the fleas. The cat then swallows flea excrement which contains flea eggs. When flea eggs get inside the intestines of the cat or kitten, the egg makes a worm.

Cats or kittens can also ingest the eggs from being outside poking around in dirt or grass, or from licking an infected cats' fur or licking it's rear end.

NOTE: More flea eggs live in soil and grass than most people realize. If you have an outdoor, or an indoor-outdoor dog or cat, your yard needs treated at the same time you treat your pet for fleas and worms.

NOTE: Flea eggs in flea excrement can survive a long time, even on a cement basement floor. So ALL areas of the house must be treated.
