Pet help - Fleas

HurricaneHeather · 11-13-2009, 04:01 PM

So we discovered on Tuesday that both cats have fleas.

Wednesday husband bug bombs the house, bathes both cats with supposed flea shampoo and then gives them that oily treatment stuff on the back of their necks.

Last night we noticed that not only are the fleas still there, they are actually crawling around in the oily stuff that is supposed to kill them!

He bought the Hartz brand of shampoo and treatment and we are wondering:

1. How long is supposed to take for the fleas to die?
2. If they are not dying, how soon can we use a different treatment(one that actually works)
3. Which treatments actually work?

Any suggestions?
