If you're not sure which flea treatment is right for your cat, consult your veterinarian to identify a product that's both safe and effective. Have you used any of these products before? Did they work and were you happy with the results? Let us know in the comments!

Years ago I had a nasty flea infestation which almost killed one of my cats. She needed 2 blood transfusions which saved her life. My vet recommended Fleabusters which deprives oxygen and eventually kills the fleas. It was a great product and it was safe for pets and humans.

I adopted my cat from the animal shelter and immediately took her to the vet. She didn't have fleas but ear mites. I used advantage multi which works on most parasites. Great stuff. Important to note, that you have to wash the bedding and treat the whole house along with the other pets with fleas and mites.

First, treat all your pets with advantage. If house is infested, next use pecor 2000 on all carpets and lightly on wood floors. Use the advantage every month. Worked for us after weeks and weeks of absolute hell. Hope someone finds this useful.

Anyone scrubbing while watching ???

I was itching along with my cats. I had fleas in my room. I used natural care home spray for fleas everywhere daily on my bed, cats bedding, and wherever my cats sat. I also changed bedsheets and vacuumed. Bathe my cats with Adams flea/tick shampoo. I also used Adams flea/spray daily on my cats. I spray it around their neck soaking wet as if they wore a flea collar. It’s helping my cats. I think spraying around their neck daily is helping my cats best.

I fought a huge infestation of fleas when I rescued a kitten from the streets, my grown cat got fleas, my dog got fleas and my kitten was the one that brought the fleas. So at that point my whole house was infested, and I didn’t know what to do. My grown cat had gotten fleas before when she was also a kitten and she also came from the streets, so I had deal with it before by taking my cat and my dog to the vet and getting a the medication the provided which was $15 each dosis. It worked for me at that time but this time around it was not working, I took all my animals to the vet multiple times to get the treatment but it was doing nothing. With my husband we decided to give Advantage a try and it work like a champ! We started to see dead fleas appeared in our sofa or the bed, they were just dying with the first treatment we have put on them. Now I know maybe advantage could be a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth every penny, specially when I had already spent a bunch in the vet’s medication that didn’t work. Complementary to advantage I used a house flea treatment spray so I could spray it on the furniture and carpet and that helped a lot. I was really frustrated with the fleas so what I did is that I gave my cats a bath, I applied the advantage treatment, then I washed all my bed sheets and cover seats with hot water and after I did that I sprayed the house with that treatment, it worked really good! I got all of those things at Walmart so it was easy access and amazing results. My home is now flea-free and my cats are happier than ever.

I'm so glad I found this channel! I have 2 cats, hagrid and harriet. I flew treated them but I'm still finding fleas. Growing up my mom always gotten the topical kind and only get it from the vet. This was an extremely helpful Thank

[cxSMILEYx]

Thank you so much for this video!! I bought the flea comb and OMG I easily caught 20+ off my cat alone with that thing THANK YOU

I tried the Soresto collar on my cat and when he went to scratch his neck, the collar spun and gave him really bad neck burns and cuts. I've had my other cat get her teeth under it and that caused mouth trauma.
I wouldn't recommend soresto to anyone for cats. Look up "cat collar injuries" as they can be serious. Such as the cat getting their arm in the collar and causing a massive cut in their armpit.

I have four cats with flea infestations and will be implementing many of these tips! But I will actually be using bug bombs to treat most of my apartment, I've done this before when we had an ant infestation so I know it works! I put the cats in a separate room or area of the apartment then I duct tape the door to the room with the bug bomb and I do this to each area of the house until every section is treated, moving the cats and myself accordingly. It's a length process for sure but I want to be absolutely certain I stamp out these fleas. My babies will no longer suffer! Best of luck to everyone treating flea infestations.

Huge thanks. Had two years of nightmares with fleas, mainly due to Frontline Spot on not working and seeing all the comments about it wonder how they continue to be allowed to sell a product that doesn't work. Even if their Frontline Plus works, not giving the company anymore of my money. Thank you for this review, most helpful. 🌻❤

You will start to notice small red dots that look like blood around the washer, sink, or anywhere that can get wet. Flea poop turns red when wet. That is when you need to start finding flea meds for the animals. This means the house is about to get overrun by fleas, if not already. I have found that buying a spray for bed bugs and fleas works well around the house. I still need a cheap solution for fleas for 7 cats. I am starting to get a problem again.

[robosing]

The only catlady I trust. Well. Definitely one of the best.

[patandemy]

Had dogs and cats, mopping with Dawn, or using borax powder that mopping killed all the flea infestation after using a spot on flea treatment.
Also used dawn as a shampoo on my dogs. Work marvelously

[sunnymorning]

I tried everything and Advantage is really to only option that works.

[notslimsortashady]

All cats are different! I have 3 and 1 wears a seresto and the other 2 get advantage and they’re all flea free. As a dog/cat groomer, I definitely recommend shopping around and figuring out which works for you!

[markharrisllb]

Our last cat used to go out and we used to get a Seresto collar fitted every year on his annual check up. We never had a problem with any fleas at all. They aren’t cheap but they last a year and they do work.

[meredithadams]

Frontline does nothing for me. Even had my vet reimburse me. Advantage is all I can fund. Looking into your video and options. Thanks so much
