New kittens - fleas

We have finally, after a few disappointments, got kittens of our very own. They're 8 weeks old and were flead and wormed by a vet today before we got them. They still have fleas on them though, does this mean we will now have fleas in our house? What's the best way to treat them / the house? Thanks

P.s I know I cant post without pics 😁

As the fleas bite/have contact with the cats they will die. You don't need to do anything else to the cats. Only need to do something to the house if the fleas persist on the kittens

Thank you for that advice. We were planning on swapping their bedding with our dogs bedding to get the dog used to their scent before introducing them- will this still be ok to do or not?

Fleas don't matter when kittens are that gorgeous.

Advocate, hoover regularly, spray indorex. You will never see another flea. I've had cats sinxe 1985. I have never seen a flea or been bitten. Treat, hoover, spray. Rinse and repeat.
