Stickfast (Chicken) fleas on cats?
A friend of mine just back up north from north carolina and her cats brought Stickfast Fleas with them. I apparently brought some home after the last visit to her house and have no idea how to get rid of them before the infestation gets too bad. Traditional things like Frontline or Advantage don't appear to work, neither does Dawn Dishsoap, and I will not put flea collars on them. Has anyone dealt with this problem before, and if so, how did you fix it?

Hi, the best thing to use would be, FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth.
You can put a teaspoon in your cats food every day.
It's a natural flea deterrent.
Plus you can dust your cat down with it, rub into her fur. (wear a mask).
This can also be used with chickens to rid them of the fleas.
It's brillant stuff! Even humans can take it!
Do some research on it.
I take it every day and also give it to my dogs and cats every day.
If you have problems getting it. They sell it on Ebay.

I've never even heard of these before. Definitely ask your vet. Who knew chickens had their own fleas!!??
