My stray cat & her kittens have a swarm of mosquitos around them. What can help keep the mosquitos away without hurting the kittens. I put out garlic cloves today, but now I read cats hate the smell of garlic. Any other ideas?

The kittens are only a few days old

Depending on how old the kittens are, there is a flea medication that repels fleas, ticks, and mosquitos. I can't remember which one it is though. Call a petstore that sells flea medication and ask them which one it is...I think it's Advantix. I'm not really sure if this can be used for cats (I'm a dog owner, sorry...) so you might want to ask if you can use it for cats and also ask if Revolution repels mosquitos as well.

As someone else suggested, call the pet store or your vet. Personally I use mosquito repellent that you can use on children. I use the cream type and put a very small amount on my finger and put it on their noses and rub it in, a very small amount. Usually that is where they get bitten the most. Especially if you have a cat with a white or light colored nose. (I have 4)
Hope this helps.

Revolution, kills and repels almost everything, fleas, ticks, mites, mange, bees, ringworm, heartworm, flies, miquitos...you can ask your vet for it, but its cheaper to buy it online, apply it once a month

Advantix is for use in dogs only, it can be very toxic to cats.
