There is a pill you can give your cats and dogs that will make all the fleas on them die within 30-60 minutes. It is called Capstar and you do not need a prescription from the vet for it. You can buy it at Nationalpetpharmacy.com or check with your vet as they sell it too. I've used them on my cats. I usually put my cats in a crate outside with a towel or sheet on the bottom after giving the pill to them. The fleas will die and drop off the cat and onto the sheet/towel. This would also be a good time to bomb/spray or use salt/baking soda to get the fleas out of the house. The pills are safe and can actually be given every day if need be.
No tablets, drops, sprays, anything like that works whatsoever, they're all a big con and very expensive. The ONLY way to kill fleas is to drown them. Buy a flea trap from Ebay with a 7 watt bulb over a sticky pad. The idea is the flea thinks the bulb is a cat and jumps to the bulb, then gets stuck on the pad. This doesn't work either, they can get themselves unstuck easily, so replace the pad with soapy water (water plus detergent, e.g. washing up liquid) either in the original dish or just use a dinner plate.
Diatomaceus earth, food grade, not pool grade. Rub on cats and their beds, throughout the house if necessary. Not harmful to pets or people. Available in home improvement stores in the garden area.
