ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus I admit that when indoor animals get fleas, doesnt it mean the HOUSE has them? In the upholstery or something? I admit that Jeddie having a splash bath is seriously comical. My room smelling like wet newspaper and bird food...less so. Bathing the cats (if possible) with regular pet shampoo will kill the fleas, they drown, then use a flea comb and continue using a flea comb, this will get any straddlers as well as the eggs. Also, the "flea dirt" which your cats may be allergic to as well. To treat the furniture and the house use diatomaceous earth, this will kill the fleas, usually with a couple of treatments. Sprinkle it, leave it then vacuum it up. You can also leave it where the vacuum does not reach. Food grade will neither harm you or your pets. Found link which explains it well. I have personally used it with positive effect to get fleas out of an infested house. Good luck Greedy... I admit it I can't help but ask, gee, where were you when the apartment I lived in had fleas from the previous tenant's cat and I became their 2nd choice meal when there was no longer a cat? I can attest personally to the ineffectiveness of flea collars. I used to wear them around my ankles to try to ward off getting eaten alive while sleeping. It didn't help. Edited 'cause my proofreading of this post sucked.
