I have used Hartz Foggers twice, and still have fleas in the house.
I need help !
Answers:
I have had the flea problem before (four cats and a dog inside), and I will tell you what my vet told me - and it worked! It isn't an overnight cure, but it sure works better than anything else. Get either advantage or frontline to put on your pets. Then, spray all of your upholstery with any flea killer that makes the flea infertile (the best ones are at like PetSmart).let it set for about 30 minutes, and then vacuum it WELL.here is the tricky part. Don't empty the vacuum inside the house.take it outside and put it in the trash, because you have just vacuumed up dead fleas and live eggs. Then, spray and wash pet bedding.your bedding.anywhere the animals sleep. If you have carpet, spray and vacuum. But most people make the mistake of either emptying the vacuum inside, or they don't do everything the animal has been on. Okay.for the bad part - you won't be able to get all of them, no matter what you do. That is why this isn't an overnight cure.however, the life cycle of the flea is only a matter of days - and during that time, they bite the animals, which makes sure that the little buggers can't reproduce. Within about a week, your problem will be solved. Oh, and for the future - just remember to put the advantage or frontline on before flea season (depending on where you live) and it won't be a problem again.
You might just have to hire a professional to bomb the house.
get a professional
The foggers only kill the adults, so it's necessary to do it several times to get them all.
A better way is to use a chemical that you can spray the furniture and rugs..something that has a little residual killing power. A pest company can do it for you if you don't feel comfortable with that.
1/2 oz liquid sevin} per gallon of water
3/4 oz malathion }
Remove all pets and kids.Spray all rugs and horizontal fabrics (sofas, chairs, etc).Stay out of the house for 4 hours.when you return, air out the house VERY well. Repeat after 10 days.

Looking for a method of keeping raccoons and possums away.?
I live in rural area, and when I am gone from home, raccoons have a field day eating all my outside cats food. I prefer not to kill them, and a live trap would not work as I am sometimes gone for several weeks at a time. Any suggestions. and thanks.
Answers:
As long as you are leaving food out they will keep coming, you are offering them a free meal! Remove the food and you will remove your problem! You should not kill animals for eating food that you are offering to them!! You said you are gone several weeks at a time?? Well, who is caring for your cats, how are you leaving several weeks of food out for your cats? If you have someone coming to feed your cat, then have them feed the cat indoors. If you are leaving your cat alone for several weeks, then maybe you should reconsider being a cat owner if you have no time for your pet.
if you have to leave food outside there is nothing you can do. just leave extra food i guess.
We have racoons too in our neighborhood and that's exactly what my neighbor does.leave extra cat food for the 'coons. They don't eat the trash anymore!
KILL EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT.just kidding I have no clue because there ai'nt too many possums and racoons in Arizona but i agree with DIANEE might as well put out a buffet for them critters,then maybe all the small animal activity will attract a predator and nature will will solve your varmit problem.Good luck
Git yerseff a dawg. Git a big dawg. Get yerseff th' biggest, meanest, orneriest dawg ya kin git.
Big, big dawg.

looking for a kitten in the UK?
just wondering is there anyone out there with a kitten they dont want. my next door elderly neighbour is lookin
Answers:
Look in the local cats home, they will be healthy, already inoculated against disease and in need of a loving home.
go see the rspca, at least you will be helping out a charity then.
try petfinder.com, although I don't know for sure if they have that in UK. good luck! :)
Try looking for a local branch of The Cats Protection League but are you sure a kitten is a good idea for an elderly person. There are a lot of older cats that need homing that would appreciate being the only cat in a quiet household.
I am "elderly" and know I shouldn't adopt a kitten as I will not be around for another 15 years or more to take care of it.
Maybe your neighbor has family who would continue to shelter a cat. Kittens are darling and little terrors. Does she have the energy for this kind of mayhem?
try your local cat rescue
Call your local Cats Protection, they always have lots of kittems and adult cats that need homes, their number is 08702 099099
Local RSPCA centre:
http://www.rspca.org.uk/servlet/satellit.
There are a few sites for rehoming, some of the pedigree sites also have rehoming sections, free to good homes.
Your neighbour might be interested in being a foster for an animal whos owner has died check out this website http://www.cinnamon.org.uk/home.html.

looking for a kitten for around christmas near nottingham?
im helping a friend look for a kitten for his girlfriend for christmas. she has wanted one for a while and now they have their own house its the right time to get one. does anyone know of anyone whos cat is going to be having kittens and will be getting rid of them before christmas in the nottingham area??
no suggestions to get a cat from the rspca please.
Answers:
Try the Kittenlist site . the adverts generally say when the kittens are ready to leave home %26 you can also search by location.
http://www.kittenlist.co.uk/
However, if he's willing to get her an early Christmas present then there are some moggie kittens available at the moment %26 a gorgeous cat called Snuggles( at the Animal Accident Rescue Unit in Nottingham) - see the links in source below or try searching under Cats on the Preloved site, using Nottingham as a key word.
If no good at the moment - I'd recommend searching Preloved or Kittenlist again, nearer the time that he wants the kitten. Good Luck
check your local pet shop
Most animal rescues shut down around the christmas period just for the fact Christmas is not the best time to give animals for presents. They might spend a lot of time out.or have parties.not the best start for a new kitten coming into the flat.sorry but just the way I feel about it.
hi there, y dont u ask the cat rescue center i did and they come round 2 your home 4 a visit and the next visit they bring u a kitten if u r suitable and you r rescuing 1.
thats much nicer people r making money from this and we shouldnt encourage this.
dont 4 get kittens grow up 2 b cats.
your best bet is to buy a turkey like everyone else , apart from being far more tasty your guests might complain if they see you carvin up a kitten
a dog is for christmas, not life
depending on what youre looking for my friend in codnor/derbys breeds persians and exotics if you wanted her number you will have to e-mail me and i will give it you. Also try EAST MIDLANDS ANIMAL RESCUE they are in eastwood/notts theyre not like rspca, they often have kittens. good luck
try the local vets, that way you know they will be healthy
what if it's not the kind of cat she wants? what if she want to pick a cat out her self? what if she wants to rescue a homeless animal? what if the cat is mean?
If I were her I would rather get a book about cats and be asked "so, which one would you like?" I would be disappointed if my boyfriend came home with a second cat instead of letting me pick one out for my self
remember a cat isn't just for christmas.
anyways ask your local vets - there was one that had been rescued at my local vets
or go to an animal rescue. its much better to give an abandoned one a home - she'll love it anyway.
There is a Cat Sacturary in Loughborough, the ladies number should be in Phone book, if not phone the local pets shops they have boards in their windows with these numbers on, and number of people who have kittens for sale. I had a cat from this sancuarary and I would recommend it.

looking for a free cat to good home?
Answers:
go to petfinder.com.this is a site for rescue groups.just enter your Zip code, and be AMAZED at how many great choices you have !!.i adopted a Great Pyrenees mix from them, and my dog Sylvester is awesome !!.check it out.try it.do a good deed.adopt a cat today !.good luck to you, in your search for a cat as a new pet !!
try the pound if you get one there you will be saving one or maybe the local newspaper or try call a local animal clinic sometimes people give the Kittens to give away or post signs on animal clinics doors
a good home wouldnt take "free" cats - a good home would go to the shelter and adopt a cat - because free cats generally cost more in the long run - and a good home is smart enough to know that.
For one thing a free cat isn't really a good idea you should take it to the vet get it checked out to make sure its healthy, The vet than will charge you for needed shots, and spayed or neuter. If you adopt from a shelter you are more likely to get a healthy cat, who has been fixed, with the required shots, and possibly 2 free vet visits. ( thats at least what one shelter gave me when I adopted a cat ) you also should consider all the needed food and supply costs to care for a cat which isn't free. Before adopting a " free" cat consider all the other things that cost money .
idk..but mah kitty was on petfinders.com %26 she costed $$$! i didn't find her on petfinders till day after we filled her adoption applications. Then she was at the "adopted" section already. ,..u can get a FREE kitty from ppl u know r if any of ur family, friends or their friends know any1 who had a pregnant kitty-they might give u 1 for free. But even if the cat is free u still have to pay for spay/vaccinations/rabies %26 other health related..Also, i heard it's NOT best to get1 from the store.Good luck %26 u should def get1, they're worth it!:)
looking for a co formerly known as Safe & Sure that made a flea shampoo called de-flea/California Special?
THIS WAS A FANTASTIC SHAMPOO %26 WAS REALLY A VERY SAFE SHAMPOO TO USE ON CATS %26 KITTENS - PERSIAN CATS ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO FLEA TREATMENTS. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE NEW NAME OF THE COMPANY SEVERAL MONTH AGO BUT LOST THE INFO WHEN MY COMPUTER CRASHED - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT KNOWS THE NEW NAME OF THE COMPANY OR THE WEBSITE
Answers:
I don't think they make it anymore, because all of the sites that I've searched are giving me the same thing:
http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/.
there were a number of court hearings about this product, so I'm assuming that something happened, and that they aren't going to make it anymore. I didn't read through the whole, thing, but you should, it might help.
Never heard of this shampoo, but as a persian breeder, i cannot recommend using Advantage highly enough. You get it from the vet. If you have a small kitten, and are worried about using the full amount, figure 1 drop per pound.
Also, another good tip..Dandruff shampoo contains pyroxetene, the active ingredient if flea dips. Use Head and Shoulders for routine baths on kitty for a little extra boost.
