Fleabusters powder. It's safe around people, pets, and babies, and it's very effective. When my dogs got fleas, it killed the fleas in our house overnight. Check out http://www.fleabusters.com .

First of all, put Advantage on your cat immediately!!!! Even if it's a little kitten you can actually use it (I've had vets tell me that, and once I had a kitten actually die from flea bites because he lost so much blood. I didn't give Advantage because the kitten was only 3 weeks old, and unfortunately it was too late when I found out that you CAN use Advantage on a newborn kitten if you have to.) Don't use the cheap stuff. They are pesticides and can kill the kitten. Only use Advantage.
Then you can douse the carpets with a room flea powder. You just sprinkle it on and vacuum. The stuff's worked for me in the past. Vacuum a lot to get rid of all the flea eggs. Good luck!

We actually went to walmart and bought spray called "Adam's Home Flea and Tick Spray". It works very well and almost immediately. Just spray it all over the house. It's safe around both humans and animals.
The even cooler thing about it is that you can actually use it on other insects as well. I was sitting on the porch and a huge wasp was flying around.. I sprayed it with the spray, and after it fell I sprayed it some more.. and a few minutes later it was dead. Haha.
Well good luck! :)

The safest and cheapest method of getting rid of fleas is to use a mixture of boric acid and salt. The powder should be sprayed on carpets, bedding and areas frequented by pets. More information on getting rid of fleas is available at http://pests.in/fleas.html

go to the pet store and buy something to kill the fleas on your cat and then get the flea bombs and set them off and after a few hours come back to the house and vaccum most of them, if not all of them should be gone, if not you might have to bomb the house 1 more time but it worked for me the 1st time when my roommate decided to bring home a flea infested cat and it infested my rabbits cage and our entire house....

yes you spray the house and lawn and get the kitten front line plus. that is what will do it each time you go outside you bring them in and heads for the cat. there is spray at home depot and its inside outside and there is flea spray from your local grocery store that can help better then those expensive brands.

Throw out its bedding ,yours if it was on that. Get carpets professionally cleaned, wash the kitten thoroughly and regularly with flea treatment shampoo - good luck!

the fastest and most reliable is to get a hotel room for the weekend and board the cat
then set up some fumigators in the house
