A good flea spray will offer 12 months protection and the one i use called indorex "prevents development of eggs and larvae"  ;D

" I spent a fortune on the bomb things, and the carpet hoover stuff and the flea furniture spray. thought they would all be gone but im finding a few again"

The flea-treatment you used on the kitten and the house-spray might be working but what none of these preparations can do is kill the pupae lurking in the carpets and furnishings and they can survive for months and months.  They will eventuall hatch and jump up on your cat but if you're using an effective preparation like Frontline they will be unable to breed before they die.  The best thing to do to encourage the pupae to hatch is to vacuum, vacuum, vacuum; that way you will pick up eggs and larvae as well as the newly emerged adult fleas.  Put a cut-up flea collar or flea-spray on a J-Cloth into the hoover-bag and dispose of the hoover-bag every time you use the cleaner.

Lots of us on here use vetuk, they are so much cheaper than the vets - free delivery too.

If anyone orders from vetuk, and lets face it you'd be crazy not to given their prices and free superfast p&p, please order through a rescue link so they will get 5% of your order value donated to them by vetuk.

We got a new kitten...Anyway i didnt realise he had fleas. now i know he does. hes had his treatment so hes ok

Can I just ask what you treated your kitten with as same thing applies to flea treatment for puddies as for flea treatment for house. Only stuff from vets work not "over the counter" stuff.

Best of luck. We've pretty well ALL been there. Some of us more than once  :rofl:

Hes had frontline treatment...cost £18 from the vet lol

Please also remember that if a cat/kitten has fleas it most certainly will have tapeworm. Again the treatments available from supermarkets is not good and in some cases dangerous.

Absolutely, get into crack, the little nooks in corners, corners of furniture (like bedframes). The sprays do work.

You need to get some flea spray from your vet ... bombs and over the counter stuff does not work!

Indorex, Acclaim or Staykill are all very good and available from VetUK  http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=d332763887d39aa4dd64275c78dc0fd6&keyword=flea+spray
