I was wondering if anyone had any wisdom to share on getting rid of cat fleas?
We're looking after my sister's cat while they're on holiday and it's ridden with fleas! It's been here for two nights now. I did some googling on fleas (shudder, not for the faint hearted!) and bought some Frontline, some floor powder and a can of Johnson's 4Fleas spray (comes in a pink can).
The cat has mostly been kept in our kitchen (we have a 4 month old DD and I didn't want it in our bedroom etc.) but it's also been in other rooms briefly.
I've just put the frontline on the cat. What would you suggest the best plan would be now? Is it worth using the spray and powder right away? Should I make sure my DD isn't exposed to these? Am I right in thinking the whole house needs treated? I was going to hot wash the living room cushions and my DD's nursing pillow/blankets; do I need to do all of our clothes and bedding too? I'm clueless when it comes to pets and I feel sorry for the poor wee cat but equally don't want my house infested! I'd be really grateful for any hints or tips!
