Bathe the animal in Dawn Dish Soap... Yes Dawn Dish Soap. IT kills the fleas/ticks at the time, but not used for flea/tick collar etc.

For starter, cut up a flea collar and put the pieces inside your vacuum cleaner. Vacuum thoroughly, including spaces between and under couch cushions, under furniture, and in closets. Seal the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and get rid of it promptly. To deal the deathblow to larvae in carpets, use a special flea powder. Keep your cat out of the room and vacuum the carpet the next day. Throw bedding, seat covers and any other washables your pet touches into the washer at least once a week. Wash with the hottest water possible and some flea shampoo that works against both adult fleas and eggs.

Flea collars work in one of two ways: by releasing a toxic gas and by being absorbed into your pets dermatological fat layer. The second kind is far more effective.

There is NO "over the counter" solution for the fleas of today according to my Vet! She said it makes her mad they still sell the over the counter stuff because it rarely can eliminate all of the fleas and often does more damage your the animal while the fleas continue to thrive!. Our elderly dog almost died because we used an "in house" treatment rather than "bother" the vet with our "little" problem. Take your animal to the vet first! Please! Monkey is still with us but definitely a half step slower...

They are a great tool in preventing fleas; however when used alone, flea collars are not the best form of protection for your dog. Flea collars are great when used alongside other topical flea control products.

yes it will help prevent you cat from getting fleas

Most of the new cat collars that are for sale today have many solutions helpful fighting against flea tick and mosquitos. Before you purchase a new collar you should ask specifically against what the collar that you're buying is against, this will avoid any misunderstanding and will keep your cat healthy.

You should apply fleaand tick treatments in an area that your cat cannot groom, and if possible youshould try to prevent your cat from grooming immediately after treatment.
