Getting rid of the wall to wall and putting in hardwood floors helped a lot in my house, but it was expensive.... It helps if all the cloth you have can go through the laundry every few days..... |

But getting rid of fleas isn't easy. I used Borax with some success, but it only works on the ares you treated. I got rid of fleas by using Borax, diligently vacuuming all "cat areas", and treating my cats with Frontline. This only works if the flea infestation is in the beginning stages. Once the fleas have settled in, you need stronger tools like the bombs. But you still should treat your cats with Frontline or Advantage or some similar product. |
