I have a flea problem at my home I have try everything to kill them and it seem it make them stronger and not even harming them? Could someone tell me what will be the best stuff to get to kill the fleas once for all?
I wouldn’t use frontline or advantage on your pets, they contain alot of chemicals that can be harmful to your pet and won’t rid your house of fleas either.
I came across a pet care package for a good price that has:
a food supplement for your pet to prevent fleas **works really well
a boric acid carpet treatment
an all natural flea shampoo
a garden spray for flea control

I haven’t seen a flea since the first 2 weeks i started using it and its been months now. It’s cheaper than what you would pay for advantage or frontline too.
you need to get bug bombs…set them off and leave the house..take all living things out with you.
are your pets flea free? if not them it is a waste of time until you kill them off the pets too.
i use frontline on my pets..
good luck
First get Frontline, Advantage, or Revolution from the vet to treat the cats. These products are intended to be used once a month to keep fleas off the cat.
Then, if you need to treat the house – which is often the case – use a product which not only kills adult fleas but also prevents eggs from hatching.
When we have bad flea years (haven’t had one in along time – knock on wood
we use Raid products for the house.
They make a fogger called Raid ® : Flea Killer Plus Fogger

They also make an area spray called Raid ® : Flea Killer Plus Carpet & Room Spray

We have had very good results with those products.
Remember, you want a product that not only kills adult fleas but also prevents eggs from hatching. If you use something that does not prevent the eggs from hatching, when they hatch you are back where you started.
There is a product, Capstar which is a pill you give the cat. It kills all of the fleas on the cat within about 5 hours.

It does not provide long lasting protection – it merely kills all the fleas on the cat.
You can use it to kill all the fleas on the cat and then treat the cat with Frontline, Advantage, or Revolution, and then treat the cat.
Ask your vet about Capstar and using it in combination with other products.
Capstar is available only by prescription.
We have used it to kill all the fleas on feral cats who we could not handle to apply something else. We transfer them to another cage or carrier, move them out of the room, fog the room, give them the Capstar in food, and then put them back in the main cage.
Capstar is like magic – it really will kill all of the fleas on a cat very quickly and it is safe enough that you could use it every day, if need be – though that would be an expensive way to control fleas, day to day.
Indoor cats can get fleas that people carry in on their clothes. If you think that might be happening, get an insecticide you can spray on the yard to kill fleas.
You will probably need to get a sprayer. The ones that attach to the end of a hose might be the type you could use.
Ask the people at a garden store, Lowes, or Home Depot, or similar store for help picking an insecticide and a sprayer.
i have no idea
Alot of people ask this question on here. You might read through the answers for some good information.
Basically, you must treat the animals with some "Advantage" or other prescribed flea medication every month as prescribed.
Very important, you must treat your home. My advice would be to buy some "Adams Flea & Tick Spray" (Walmart or Petsmart). Spray your carpet, beds, furniture, etc. Wash your linens with hot water. Vacuum the following day and put the vacuum bag in a garbage bag, tie it up real tight and get rid of it.
Treat the yard. You can buy yard treatment in a bottle that you attach to your garden hose.
You must treat pets, home and yard for a couple of months at least in order to get rid of fleas.
You can kill the fleas on the animals by bathing them in a dishsoap bath. This will kill the fleas. Then, go over the animal’s head and ears with a metal flea comb. Repeat this, again in about 10 days. For the fleas in the house, vacuum regularly, and use the product that is used to interupt the life cycle of the flea. This does not harm other living things and only keeps the fleas from developing. This should get rid of the problem. With the other products, you are placing harmful chemicals in your home where you and your animals live. Check with your vet for the product that interupts the life cycle or development.
