I'm now a flea magnet- HELP!

[_msnobody]

Okay, little feline darling has fleas who have begun feasting on msnobody and family. Frontline Plus has had little effect. Has anyone tried any of the other flea remedies such as Promeris or Advantage?

Dish detergent.

Would industrial lasers be overkill?

Here's what me and my girlfriend did to erradicate fleas the one time our kitties brought them into the house...

You going to need the following:

1. (1) Container Zodiac Yard & Garden Spray.

2. (2) packages of Raid Flea Killer Plus room fogger (enough for a 2800sqft home, also has the side benifit of killing pretty much every other insect in the area of effect)

3. A good flea shampoo.

4. A cat carrier.

5. A car.

6. Someplace to go hangout for a couple of hours.

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." - Corporal Hicks, Aliens.

First things first. Grab your garden hose and the Zodiac and treat your yard. This will kill all the fleas and ticks outside so you don't have to worry about the cat going out, catchign mkore fleas, and reinfesting the house. Now, go through your house and extinguish any pilot lights, flames, candles, or any other ignition sources (The Rain Flea Foggers are flammable). Next, clean out the cat carrier and put a fresh flea free towel in it and leav it on stand by on the bathroom toilet. Now grab the fleabag, er... cat and shampoo the little beast, dry it, and toss it in the cat carrier, then put the cat carrier out in the car (ProTip: roll the car windows down). Now open those packages of Raid, follow the directions, and work room to room popping smoke on those fleas.

Go take the kitty to Petsmart or something... Come back in two or three hours and the site is Flea-Free. Now vacuum the place to remove all the flea bodies, and wipe down surfaces to remove any flea fogger residue.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like a plan Angus McAwesome. I enjoyed reading it too.

For added fun and a good dose of "Let's creep out the neighbors", get a box of tooth picks, take the little flea bodies and stick them on the ends of the tooth picks, then stick the other end of the tooths in the ground at the edge of your lawn as an object lesson to future fleas of the consequences of infesting your property!

Brilliant, time to go freak out the neighbors as soon as I find some fleas.

um... flea spray for the house and pets. Powder and a good spring clean of yourselves, your pets and your house including your bedd covers, curtains and clothes.and if it is a cat, you might want to try getting it a flea collar. That will help stop it bringing them back. Did I mention a hoover? Hoover all soft furnishings. Would probably be best after closing all windows and doors spraying the entire place and lockign up for a few hours clean your selves and pet whilst they are dying in the house then go back in and spring clean. No point clearing the house if they are still on you guys they will bread.

Did I over do that?

They may bread, but will they butter?

I guess someone missed where I said set off half a dozen or more high power Raid flean bombs throughout the house and treat the lawn....
