flea treatment for cats?

Unfortunately my cat has fleas, I have tried flea treatments on her 5 times now and have also used flea treatment carpet spray on the carpet and furniture several times as well as a flea bomb twice. None of this has worked, my cat still has fleas and my feet are also getting attacked by them. Any suggestions on what else I can do???

    Get spot on flea treatment from your pet store. De-flea her every 4 weeks for the rest of her life or other wise it's pointless. It's also pointless if you don't de-flea other pets you may have in the household.

    Vacuum every week.

    Only 5% are actually adult fleas which would live on your cat, the remainder are found in the environment in the form of eggs (50%), larvae (35%) & pupae (10%). It is absolutely vital to treat both your pet & hour environment (home & garden).

    the flea bomb and carpet spray will kill the live flea, but not the flea eggs. That's why you keep getting flea in your house. You need to vacuum out the carpet (better everywhere in the house) daily. Clean the vacuum outdoor right after you finish.

    For the cat, use flea drop like Revolution, Advatage and Frontline. also use a flea comb to brush your cat regularly. those flea like to hind in the cat's back legs and under the ears
