Ok, horse, gate, and all that, but we have two cats who are generally indoors, but potter around outside when the weather is nice. They do not have flea collars.

Somebody has complained of bites in the house, and while I have no problem myself, I wonder if fleas might be a problem?

a) Are flea collars enough to prevent the problem? What else might I do?

b) If we have a flea infestation, do beds, carpets, furniture, etc. need treatment? What kind of treatment?

Many thanks...

Get flea treatment from the vet for the cats - vacum the whole house mega well & you can get a house flea treatment.
