    You need to get rid of them everywhere or just getting them off pets won't matter. Carpet,car,upholstery,pet bedding,yard. Best for pets is take to vet and get flea topical& have them checked for tape worms(they get these from fleas), then treat everything where you live.Flea powders,sprays,vacuum alot(alot) seal bag throw out ASAP so new ones don't hatch.HERE's some stuff to do http://www.fleaguide.com/ Don't put a bunch of stuff on pets that will burn,irritate skin,or make their eyes,nose burn,or make them sick if they ingest,lick or eat it. Cats cannot be treated with same things as dogs. Be safe & get help from vet to be safe.

    Use Dawn liquid dish soap to bathe them with.

  • Not only do the animals need to be treated, but the entire house and yard as well.

  • Not just the pets but the yard and home as well. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a month of cleaning!

    I spray the perimeter of my property and base of my house once a month with vinegar. Needs to be reapplied after every rain event.

    Hi this is Peggy. First you must get a flea drop that goes between their ears on cats and on the back of dogs. Be sure to talk to your vet, some of the cheaper ones you buy at places like grocery or walmart can make you pet very sick. Be sure to vacuum floors and furniture daily. If you and your pets can leave you house for a few hours you can use a flea bomb you can get at the vet or hardware store, just be sure nothing alive is still in your home. I have had this problem and it takes a lot of work but you can do it. You may also want to treat your pets every month. (I do) it will prevent this from happening again. Sorry you are dealing with this good luck .
