Hi all
I got a kitten yesterday and found out he had a lot of fleas when I was being driven home with him. As soon as we got home. We bathed him in hand soap water and throughly washed him, waited for his fur to dry and then put two doses of "revolution for kittens and puppies pink" and then put him in the garage in a three storey cat cage. All this time we had not entered our house for fear of spreading fleas that may have been on our clothes. So before we went into the house we stripped our clothes and placed in a bucket of soap water to go into the house to change. After that we sprayed the crap out of everything with Moreton bug spray. The car, the cat carrier, everything we thought the kitten touched.
I know putting two does of revolution was excessive but 28 hours later the fleas that remained the kitten have died I think as they don't move but there are still eggs which I'm not sure are dead either (the package from revolution said it killed eggs and larvae). The kitten seems fine as he has a strong meow and seems energetic. After checking in repeated the process of stripping my clothes, putting in a hot tub of soap water before entering my house to change.
Tomorrow I plan to take the kitten out of its cage and then throughly clean its eating bowl and litter tray before giving him another bath. Then use boiling water with soap to wash the cage cage and the garage floor to kill any remaining eggs or larvae before spraying the garage with Moreton bug spray .
However my question is
"will this method kill the fleas and its offspring completely? "
And could my kitten still be infected with fleas. I have another kitten in my house who doesn't have fleas and would not like to get infected either.
"Should I leave my kitten in the garage longer to see if there are remaining fleas?"
I will be highly receptive to ANY advice!
