According to German veterinarian Astrid Beer, there is a simple way to determine if you have fleas in your home, and she explains: "Place your cat on a white surface, such as a large towel or bed sheet, and then comb it with a narrow comb. The next step is to moisten any lumps that fall with water."
The doctor adds that the flea droppings "will turn red because it is made up mostly of your cat's blood."To get rid of fleas, all pets in the house must receive medical treatment from a veterinarian, and Doctor Bear says: "It is important not to give the larvae a chance to grow, so the house must also be completely cleaned, not only the cat sleeping place, but the carpet, upholstery, pillows and blankets, All these items must be washed at a temperature not lower than 60 degrees Celsius.
Veterinarian Christian Kutcher advises: "Put some soap and water in a saucer and light a candle in the middle. The fleas cannot see well, so they think that the heat is a host and you feel attracted to it, and then it will drown in the water."
