There are home remedies for anything. They can range from the simple (chicken soup for a cold) to the complex (drink water upside down for hiccups). Not all work, but if your cat has fleas, these may be worth a shot. For fleas, some swear by tea tree oil products, sprinkling diatomaceous earth in the carpet and outside the home, a saltwater dip, or putting a little vinegar in your pet's drinking water. Others say adding nutritional yeast and garlic to your cat's diet will help. Methods that most people agree on: - Wash bedding and area rugs frequently.
- Vacuum
your house regularly and place vacuum bags in an airtight container for disposal.
- Bathe your cat with a mild detergent if kitty already has fleas.
- Use a flea comb on your cat.
Of course, the best answer will come from your veterinarian. They deal with the little buggers (fleas, not your pets) on a regular basis and can suggest the most effective remedies.
