Flea Control Advice

Hi

I have a problem with fleas, my three 7 month old kittens have all been Frontlined but we still have a huge issue with fleas.

We have a resident hedgehog in our garden which lives in the shrubs which is obviously the favourite place for my tribe to play and hide in. Could this be the cause of the huge numbers of fleas?? Is there anything I can do to discourage the hedgehog from my garden?

My little ones are scratching themselves to death and I'm being eaten alive...its pretty gross really lol

I need to spray the whole house, can anyone recommend a good but cheapish house spray and any advice on flea control would be hugely helpful.

Thanks in advance

Louise

Re: Flea Control Advice

Did you used Frontline spot on? Frontline Spray? or Frontline Combo spot on?
Speak to your vets as there are other alternatives to flea treatment other than Frontline and be sure to tell them you have used the Frontline and send the rest of the product back to the manufacture if it's the Combo and you will be refunded your money. Stronghold and Advocate are the other options you can use and you can purchase Indorex or RIP Fleas to treat the house from the vets or online. But these can not be used directly on pets they are for carpets and furniture. Bedding should be washed in a bio washing powder and returned after the animals and the house have been treated.

Re: Flea Control Advice

There is a whole section on cat fleas which might help you. There a few cat flea articels but this one on killing and treating cat fleas might be really helpful! Hope everything gets better!
