I don't think all this is necessary. For questions just call them and they can tell you.......x

NO collar, they are worse then useless. If they get wet they dump a load of pesticides directly onto the cat's neck skin, giving the cat an overdose and potentially doing liver damage. The drops are enough. They work, but the fleas don't die till they get on the cat and bite or are in contact with the skin, so any in the environment won't die till they go back on the cat. The dirt (specks) are flea poops, don't worry about them. If you used Advantage, Frontline or Revolution, the cat will be flea free in 3 days. If you used something else and not seeing improvement do NOT re-dose the cat or you could kill her. These are strong, dangerous pesticides and a cat can easily get a toxic exposure if they're used more than once a month. Bathe the cat in hot water and Dawn dish detergent, to get rid of the ones on her body, if she still has them after 4 or 5 days. Rinse at least two times, so no soap residu is on her. Vaccuum the furniture and rugs, floor boards and such to kill live fleas off the cat. Do NOT give garlic, that destroys cat's kidney function. Lemon juice doesn't work, neither do herbs.

There should be instructions and precautions on the tin, read them! Or call your vet! You should not have to wear a mask etc, but check. I'm not sure how effective Knockout is.

Man, I hate flea sprays, especially indoor ones. As you are reading, they are poisonous to us too! Get your animal on advantage or frontline or else you will be spraying forever, and while those products are poisonous, they're not as bad... if you get your pets on that stuff, you'll be cutting off the food supply to the fleas, and they'll die on their own.

First of all.... do it in the bathroom in the tub... turn the fan on if you have one... if not open the window...
Spray her neck first... the fleas will try to ESCAPE and will run up and hide in her ears and near her eyes.... if you spray her neck first they will die there while running.... wear gloves but don't worry to much... it won't kill you just fleas....wash up the tub and your self after... leave the cat in the bath room till she dryes... to make sure she dose not get stuff all over the house... have fun....

Why don't you call the vet because he/she gave it to you, and I'm 99.99% sure that the vet can help you with your problem and how to use it right.
