Having other household pets like other cats, dogs, and rabbits means that they also have to receive anti-flea treatments too. If just a single cat gets infested with fleas, you can bet that every pet you have already has fleas. You will not be able to curb the infestation unless every pet gets treated. But you do not have to treat pet amphibians (frogs, for instance), reptiles (lizards and snakes), and fish.
Thoroughly treat and clean your house
Treating and cleaning your surroundings is a major factor in controlling flea infestations. Use your machine’s hot setting to thoroughly wash every piece of bedding used by your pets. A thorough everyday vacuuming of your carpeting and the crannies and nooks of your wooden floors and fabric furniture might help in reducing the flea population. Remember to immediately empty out your vacuum container when you are done.
Realistically speaking, having professional pest exterminators treat your home for fleas would be the ultimate best method to maintain flea-free pets and homes. You and your pets will have to be away from home for several hours as the exterminators use flea-destroying chemicals.
