We have fleas.

I’m getting myself into a tizz.

I thought I saw a flea on one of my darling cats last week and swapped to something else that wasn’t frontline.

This morning I’ve noticed another one just by giving him fusses.

The thing is is that I live in a four bedroom house and the house is pretty much upside down with trying to renovate (things in boxes/shoved in other rooms) etc it’s chaos.

Just to hoover everyday would be a full time job with having to move mountains - I’ve read that hoovering isn’t enough with cleaning all soft furnishings. I’m at a loss what should I actually do to get rid of them on the cats plus out of the house for good?

Indorex for the house - you can get it from Amazon.

To be honest you're better off seeing a vet for treatment for the cats, and it's vital that you keep up to date with it.

Took 3 months to totally get rid of the little bastards in this house.

Another vote for Indorex a few cans too. I'm in a tiny flat and I used the one can per room.. Little gits to get rid off too. Took a couple of months.

Must be a bad year for them. My cat has never had fleas and suddenly a month ago, I'm seeing fleas on him. Shock

If you have seen a couple there will be an infestation soon. The cat wants treating to kill anything that go on him, but go through the vet as some treatments can make them ill. You need to wash the baskets and bedding, any cushions etc need washing and you just need to vacuum every couple of days, but make sure you change the bag each time. There is a good spray in a pink bottle, but I can't remember what it's called! You could also get a company to come in and fumigate the house.

I use itch pet,it's a monthly subscription and is delivered in the post.
Reasonable price and makes me actually do the treatment as it's there every month.
