flea issue

Hi can anyone recommend a good pest control company for a flea problem in the southeast, I recently got kittens and they came with these fleas!!! I'm stressed out over it they are in all rooms in my home, I'm even getting bitten.

Get the cats injected with anti-flea and worms medication, then treat them regularly with the drops you put on the skin.

Wash all bedding or other washable fabrics that the kittens have access to in a hot wash

Get some good quality flea spray from the vet - the stuff from the supermarket is no use - its expensive but it will work. Follow the instructions, you usually need to spray at least twice.

Keep the kittens confined to a manageable area until you have done all the above. You need to be doing all the above more or less at the same time. You have to break the life cycle of the fleas.Treating the kittens removes a vital stage of the cycle and is the main thing. Eggs in carpets and furnishings will still hatch after you have sprayed, but generally the fleas will be weaker and/or sterile. You need to spray them too though, which is why you have to do it a couple of times. Vacuum clean the carpet frequently.

Good luck, its a tedious job! If you keep the kittens treated though you should not have another infestation.
