Moosmom is right. Fleas can multiply at an alarming rate. We too also lost one of babies to fleas. I'm one of the first to get the bites. Now if I even think there a flea in the house, and YOU could bring them in, I round all kids up load them in the trailer and bomb the house. One good thing is the bombs kill all the spiders and centipedes too. The bombs I use we have to be out of the house for over 4 hours. When we come back in each kid goes right to the bath tub for a flea bath. the whole process takes us 9-12 hours. The last time we did it we only had 9 cats, now we are 16.

Fleas are undoubtedly hard to get rid of, but be VERY careful how many and how often you use flea products!!! You want the bugs dead, not your cat.

Also, keep in mind that a flea bite, similar to a mosquito bite, will itch the cat for a while.

I use advantage as My Vet sells me the Dog Sized Tubes which work out to a lot less than the Cat Sized per Cat.
I put it on Tubster Panther all the time and that helps keep them down.
I have flea allergies myself and a bite on the ankle itches so much.

I agree with what everyone is saying but be very careful with the flea bombs, not too long ago I took in a cat who was left in a house where a flea bomb was used nad he was put down, he had other issues before the flea bomb was set off.

I did a lot of research into the flea bomb and they say you should wipe down everything in the house after the flea bomb is set off to avoid any contact of the flea bomb with your pets. I would just do some research online and they will give you helpful tips about how to properly set off a flea bomb.

Thanks everyone. I did read what everyone wrote after I posted a few days and did flea bomb my house. One thing about that though - Mollie & Monster are not outdoor cats and did not want to go back outdoors so I could set it off. I actually think Monster is still mad at me because I put him out. Anyway I have "bombed" my house, sprayed & combed all the babies, scrubbed & cleaned, so I hope the little critters are gone!
