7 STEPS to Get Rid of Fleas on Cats

1. Check Check the animal thoroughly. Pay special attention to its behavior. If your pet twitches occasionally or licks certain body parts, there must be only few fleas so far. On the other hand, if it scratches convulsively and bites itself, looks irritated and doesn’t sleep much, there must be an entire colony of fleas breeding in its fur. These parasites cause great pain, especially to kittens, so don’t neglect the issue!

2. Examine all animals Examine all animals living at your house. If they hang out together, they must all be infested as these parasites are very good at jumping. Their jump length can reach 13 inches exceeding its body size 200 times!

3. Begin combing straight away Begin combing straight away even if you don’t have any medicine in the immediate proximity. You’d better carry out the procedure in a well-lit bathroom. Dip the comb in soap water or alcohol solution. Remember that combing will eliminate only 10-60% of the insects and will reduce their breeding but won’t be able to rid you fully of the infestation.

4. Control Products Use one of the flea control products described below: drops, shampoos, sprays or pills.

5. Vacuum clean Vacuum clean the entire house thoroughly and pay special attention to the hall and rugs at the entrance. Clean your shoes as often the fleas are brought home from the outside on shoes.

6. Treat Treat your cat’s bedding and furniture with special anti-flea sprays.

7. Don’t Relax Don’t relax. The fleas’ activity peaks from spring to late fall. If your cat is allowed outside, use prevention methods. Put an anti-flea collar on every time your cat leaves the house or leave it on constantly for no longer than six days. Find more details about prevention below.
