The sofa was from a house that got flea infested last year but they don't have fleas now so I thought my cat wouldn't get fleas. To be sure, 3 days before I moved in the sofas, I gave my cat a dose of advantage ii. A day after the sofas were moved in, a fat flea jumped off my cat onto my hand, it was very much alive. Didn't think advantage ii was working so the vet gave me revolution. Dosed her with revolution, a week after that dose a tiny baby flea jumped off my cat onto me. I thought it was ok because it was a baby flea but I went ahead and vacuumed the whole house sprayed knockout spray by virbac.. 3 weeks passed then I dosed her with revolution again a week ago and today as I was cleaning out the litterbox, a fat flea jumped onto me then jumped off before I could kill it. Am I crazy to be using revolution? What should I use on my cat? She is still overgrooming and I want to get rid of these pests before it gets too bad. Thank you sorry for the long post!
NO collar, they are worse then ineffective. in the event that they get moist they sell off a load of insecticides immediately onto the cat's neck epidermis, giving the cat an overdose and doubtlessly doing liver harm. The drops are sufficient. They artwork, however the fleas do no longer die till they get on the cat and chew or are in touch with the floor, so any interior the atmosphere won't die till they circulate lower back on the cat. The airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust (specks) are flea poops, do no longer hassle approximately them. in case you used benefit, Frontline or Revolution, the cat would be flea loose in 3 days. in case you used something else and not seeing progression do no longer re-dose the cat or you're able to desire to kill her. those are stable, risky insecticides and a cat can truthfully get a poisonous exposure in the event that they are used extra beneficial than as quickly as a month. bathe the cat in warm water and first gentle dish detergent, to get rid of those on her physique, if she nevertheless has them after 4 or 5 days. Rinse a minimum of two cases, so no cleansing soap residu is on her. Vaccuum the fixtures and rugs, floor boards and such to kill stay fleas off the cat. do no longer supply garlic, that destroys cat's kidney function. Lemon juice would not artwork, neither do herbs.
Get some medicated powder and pour it on the sofa, I have a feeling the sofa still has them, you also can buy some flea powder. Put it on the sofa Fleas are something you just have to keep trying to get rid of, their eggs hatch over and over again. Vacuum the heck out of it. Get some lemons and peel them, take the peelings and place in a container, boil water and put the (2 cups of hot water per lemon peeling) in the container and allow to sit for 24 hours, Then strain the lemon water. Place in a spray bottal and spray your couch and wash the cat down starting from the head to the tail. Lemon water kills fleas dead in seconds. They also protect the cat from any fleas that want to jump back on, they HATE lemon smell.
