Stopping Ticks and Fleas

If you run into a flea and/or tick problem in the house, use one of these on your cat. It's rated for 8 months but I'd only keep it on them until the problem goes away. Call your exterminator to do a full house spray, this will kill everything that's in your carpets and floors immediately, and the collar will kill anything on your cat including eggs (EW!).
Keep it on your cat for about 10 days or so. Even though it's good for 8 months, I personally don't like keeping chemicals on my pet's neck for that long.
