How To Get Rid of Fleas?

Question

My cat has had fleas ever since she was a kitten when we bought her. No pills, treatments, sprays or shampoos have been able to get rid of them in the long run.

Our house is mostly carpet so its all infected with them! We have sprays and gasses to get rid of them, but none of its worked so far.

I went on holiday to visit my mum and dad said its gotten worse and that he's trying a new treatment. Both my parents keep threatening to give away the cat for some reason!

Its not my fault her previous owner was neglectful!! I try to get rid of it and give her baths every once in a while to help (she was scratching her own skin off) its so bad that apparently, so won't even go on the floor!!

I'm worried about my cat and I need a way to remove them! And order or a link!

PLEASE!!!

Nothing is a permanent solution.  
You have to use a proper treatment regularly.  
First, go to your vet and get a proper flea treatment.  Ask how often you can reapply the treatment to help control the infestation.  
Then get a professional to come into you home and treat the entire house.  
Without professional level chemicals, nothing will happen.  You need a vet and you need a professional exterminator.  Without that, you will always have fleas.  Even if you get rid of the cat, the fleas are still there.  You need to get professional help.

Flea eggs can take up to 4 weeks to hatch, what you're seeing is a re-infesting.

Talk to your vet about what works best in your area, many parts of the country have had fleas develop partial immunity to Advantage and Frontline (but not Revolution).

Flea bombs for the house, flea collar for the cat. If the cat goes outside, it will pick up fleas and bring them inside. So you may need to periodically use bombs in the house.  A collar loses effectiveness over time, so replace as recommended.
