4-fleas cat flea treatment?
Answers:
fleas are immune,try front line
Maybe the fleas are heartier and immune.
I recently read a book on soap-making that had a natural flea-repelling soap you could make.
Or I've heard that Dawn dishwashing detergent does the trick, if you rinse them very well afterward.
Good luck in the battle against the fleas.
When we had our cat we used front line, we never had a problem. We used to get it from the vet, but there are some details at the website below (I have never used that site to buy from it's just for reference)
try a flea collar they have always worked on my cats and the cats look cute in them too
their could be a natural immunity built up towards this treatment, try again with a different treatment (different active ingredient)
Best cure for fleas on cats is a gallon of petrol and a match. Guaranteed to kill all the fleas.
Frontline Spot-On from the vet, and a house treatment from them too. My cats have never had fleas.
never heard of the stuff
Fleas become unaffected to the same treatment like every thing else, use front line or another brand then go back to 4-fleas if you need too but i,v always used front line on my cats and thy have never had ticks or fleas
Frontlines your best bet..
just shoot it
another product from vets only is stronghold, applied the same way as frontline onto the back on the neck it also does some worms and ear mites as well, you still need to routinly worm every few months, but its not as greasy as frontline, as still as good, applied monthly, do make sure you apply to skin on neck and not fur, or it doesnt work as well
Along with their natural ability to adapt, fleas are very resilient pests. They can develop a natural resistance over just a few generations, to you and me that is only a timespan of a few months.
In addition to this, due to the unseasonal weather we have had this year,alledgedly due to global warming (but that is a whole different question) insects of all types have been more prevalent and been around in much higher numbers than usual. This has a posive feed-back effect in that they in turn breed more and the cycle is self perpetuating.
I don't think it is a problem with the treatment you are using, although vets will insist that only treatments prescribed by them are actually effective, but it is just a means for them to charge an additional £25 in consultation fees.
I spent several years as a quarantine attendent and we had the same problem one year. There are spray on flea treatments that you can use on your pets weekly, but to be sure it would be a good Idea to spray them and also treat the house & hoover after to get any eggs that may have been missed (particularily under sofas, behind cutains and anywhere dark, as you can be sure if the cats come in with fleas they will have laid eggs in the house as well.
Good luck
