Natural Flea Remedies?

Hey, my 5 cats all have fleas... As you can imagine I'm very stressed. However, I'm terrified of using over the counter tablet treatments and I've come to find that apparently spot on treatments such as frontline are no longer effective against fleas... I also can't really afford going to the vet and getting the expensive treatment for all 5, as well as our dog, who for certain is the one who has brought in these fleas... So, does anyone have any natural remedies of which I can apply directly to my cat? I've heard diluted apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle is okay? I don't want to endanger my cats in any way.
Thanks for reading.

No you need chemicals that kill fleas. Stronghold will work and you can buy it online.

Natural remedies don't work. You can buy Advantage in Chemists, in Pets at Home and online. It's safe and it works. In vets you can also get Stronghold and Advocate. They're both fine. If you have bad fleas you may also need to treat the house with Indorex or Acclaim.

Can you ring the PDSA See how much they charge? On ypur other thread you say you are 19 so you should be entitled to some help at the vets.
