How To Get Rid Of Fleas Fast Cheap and Easy

Get a flea check How to prevent fleas Get rid of fleas in your home Treating stubborn fleas
A cat that scratches, chews its fur, or seems restless could mean it has fleas.

You can ease the itch (and protect yourself) by knowing how to detect and destroy fleas on your pet and in your home.

Do a flea control

Before spending money on flea treatments, find out if these pests have taken up residence on your cat:

Pay attention to any signs of movement on your skin. If you find little bugs crawling out of your coat, it's time to fight the fleas.
Comb your cat with a fine metal comb from head to tail several times a day. This will kill the adult fleas and their eggs and relieve itching.
Then dip the comb in a mixture of warm or hot water and dishwashing liquid to kill the fleas.

How to prevent fleas

Your cat's warm, furry coat and nourishing blood supply is a flea's dream home. Protect your pet with a flea barrier to prevent these little pests from taking root.

There are a few different types:

Products that you put on your cat. Spot treatments are safer, more convenient, and more effective than traditional powders, shampoos, and sprays.

You can buy them at your vet or online. Ask your vet where to put the product on your cat, how much to apply, and how often to use it.

If you're not getting treatment from your vet, read the product label first to make sure it's safe for cats. Some common active ingredients and brand names include:

Fipronil (Frontline Plus)
Imidacloprid (advantage)
Selamectin (Force/Revolution)
Fluralaner (Bravecto)

A flea collar with flumethrin and imidacloprid (Seresto) may also work well.

Medications that your cat eats. The nitenpyram pill (Capstar) kills adult fleas on your cat in 30 minutes. However, it has no lasting effects.

Spinosad (Comfortis) is a fast-acting chew that starts killing fleas before they lay eggs. Provides a full month of flea protection to help prevent future flea hatchings.

Clean your house

A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day.

They can roll off your cat onto your rug, couch, or duvet. Give them a chance to hatch and you have a flea infestation on your hands.

A thorough cleaning of your home can help solve the problem:

Vacuum every day. Clean carpets, upholstered furniture, and cracks and crevices in the floor to suck out the eggs before they hatch. You will also get rid of live fleas this way. Just don't forget to toss the vacuum bag or wash the bowl with warm, soapy water when you're done.

Wash at least once a week. Remove bedding, couch covers, and other fabrics your pet has touched and throw them directly into the washer. Use hot water so that no insects survive the wash cycle.

Treat stubborn fleas

Fleas that stubbornly persist despite treatment may require more serious measures.

Clear the covers. Get all pets and family members out of the house, then coat carpets and other surfaces with flea spray.

The sprays that work best have the ingredient methoprene or pyriproxyfen. If you're concerned about chemicals in the home, try a natural citrus spray.

Keep pets, children and everyone else away until all surfaces have dried.

Make sure all your pets get flea treatment. Any untreated pet can be a reservoir for fleas and you will never be able to control the flea situation.

Until all your pets are treated, the fleas will win the battle.

Call a flea specialist. If the fleas are still around, you may need an exterminator to fix the problem.
Even in large numbers, fleas are small and very easy to kill.

After a few weeks of thorough brushing, they should stop bothering you and your cat. Although it can take up to 3 months to completely eradicate an infestation.
