Fleas!! Help!!

[Coda'sMommy]

If you pick the feas off 1 at a time or use a flea comb, keep a glass with water and dish soap near by to drop them into. Something about dish soap makes the fleas not able to swim, they drop like a rock to the bottom of the glass. Very effective way of killing the fleas you pull off of the kitties without having to smoosh their nasty guts all over your finger nails. Good luck getting the infestation under control quickly.

Bathing them in regular Dawn dish detergent will get them off. I did that on the advice of my vet. It will gross you out as they will all head for the head but it does help get rid of them. If you can get some Capstar and crush up in get in Momma's food it will kill the adult fleas. You can do that a couple of days in a row.

Ah! I see it worked getting them in here to offer suggestions. GREAT! We got to get those baies clean! You do not have to hold the Mom to treat her.. Just catch her resting in the condo where you can quietly sneak you hand in there and squirt it quicky between her shoulders. I have to sneak up on mine while they are sleeping or they RUN!! (I swear, they can smell that stuff a mile away!)

I would change the bedding whenever you catch the Mama out of there. It'll do no good to treat anybody when they are laying in a nest of fleas.

another thing you coukd do is plae a bucket with soapy water... and a tea light candle inside.. the floating kind... and at night the fleas should jump to the light and die in the soapy water...
