I have a flea and tick treatment I apply on the back of my dog's neck once a month. It covers various other ailments, heartworm etc and luckily in 9 yrs no problems. Can buy for cats also from Vets name of product Advocate.
I think, with things like baskets, you can seal them in black garbage bag, and leave it outside in the sun, so it gets super hot, and im so paranoid of fleas, lice, etc, i would leave them outside in the heat, for like a month! Just a little tip. I live in Arizona and my daughter caught head lice, at school, she had really long hair, too! I feel your pain.😢 You are such an awesome and loving family, your videos bring warmth to my heart, and laughter to my life.🐱🥰💙 i always look forward to these little videos of your beautiful family, human and furry. 🥲💙
Hey, Y'all: I'm sorry that y'all went through that. For future reference: 1) Bayer makes a product called, "Advanced," which not only kills a huge variety of insects, it also kills any germs they might have brought into your space. Just take the cats someplace, or put them in the car, and commence spraying. If you open all of your closet and non-food-containing cabinet doors, before taking them outside, you might be done, in less than 5 minutes. You want to use the intense stream to hit all of your baseboards, and the mist or wider stream to do carpets. After an hour, the scent dissipates, but if you can stay gone for 3-4 hours, there's a good chance that you will not have any further pest activity. 2) There are a number of plants that act as repellents, also. 3) I believe someone else already mentioned, but I can also attest to putting pet toys in a plastic bag, for a few days will usually kill pests, but I would spray the scratching posts, and anything porous (cardboard, sisal, etc.) that they use, just in case there are eggs, on them. When I've had to deal with pests, I've also sprayed my pets' blankets and beds down, and let them sit, for at least an hour, before laundering them. I hope that y'all got relief, those darned things can be infuriating to deal with. You've got one of the best channels on the platform, I hope that product manufacturers reach out to you, to keep you well stocked, for anything y'all might need.
Completely understood you both! 😳 Huge job cleaning all the house and stuff. If you isolating all objects (chairs, baskets, rugs, etc.) infected for a week in a room with no cats access, they will be cleaned. Flees and ticks will die because they will starve with no cat blood to eat, so no survival. Flees and ticks are parasite, they need a host for living. Please, do not throw away everything, vacuumed it, spray it with an anti flees product and isolate them away from cats as explained. Sending all my love and support to you all! Take care and we love you all! 😻🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Be careful with things like Advantage (The stuff you put on the back of the necks for cats and dogs). My cats hate it and one has developed a large lump at the site on the neck where I used it. I never used it very much either. Now, I’m using a cedar oil product around on flooring and furniture, but not on my cats. I now flea comb them and use a lemon, thyme and apple cider vinegar mixture as I comb them. There’s some Natural Vets on YT you might look into.
Glad that Kai loves your house it's good that Kai can be happy around other cats I love your family I have three male cats but they live with my mom and older step sister I have an orange cat named Pumpkin. So I love you guys so much I hope that your cats feel better and did you guys a adopt kai
Aww, poor babies!💙 it's a nightmare what you have to go through to get rid of them, but I'm so glad it's not something worse, I got worried, by the title!😢🐈🐈⬛🐱🥰💙
So sorry this happened, and easily done from people also coming in and out and none of your family except mom, cleans like you do at all. When I had my Willow House Bed and Breakfast in Virginia Minnesota I had an old two story home I turned into a B and B when husband had left me with my son ill and the house.. Being a former resort owner in Ely, I figured I could run a small B and B,.. The B and B i created was upstairs.. with all wooden floors. Fresh paint and varnish on the floors upstairs....then down where I was wood floors NOT varnished.... and i had a family of seven cats.... had rescued the mom, and kept all six babies.. had then twelve years. BUT THEY GOT FLEAS... I got many of the same chemicals you did from the Pet store in town ..BUT found vinegar used regualrly on the floors was the best.. Also used vinegar in the wash . Then washed the cats with water and vinegar wash....... it worked finally but active non stop prayer is what worked. I called a CS practitioner to pray as I knew that would remove the THOUGHT of fleas. He prayed with me about this knowing that God ws good and all God made was good... and that ALL WAS GOOD. I went into deep prayer on this.. and finally the fleas disappeared totally . So I will be praying for you and love the dryer for the cats...and they are all being so good about it too. Love from us and prayers on going keep us posted until they are totally gone.. soon it will happen soon. Blessings and rest when you can .... love Merri and Bart ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dear @@merrimcelderry519 I normally watch their other channel dontstopmeowing, only watch this channel when I see Kareem Fifi baby Taj, or their cats. Pray that you are always keeping well and safe, you've been through a lots ❤❤❤
Pest and flea control products are toxic and not great for humans either. Caution might be needed on floors or furnishings where little Taj is crawling. There is no doubt that our pets need flea control but there are some other potential health implications from inhaling aerosol pesticides, too!
They have for small cats too!! Better than all the stuff you got! If you see black spots on the flea comb, that’s the dirt from fleas, sorry you were going through this, but you gotta get the advantage as soon as possible apply to each cat and do it every month and they can still go outside and not be affected by fleas. I’ve been using it for years.
Dehumidifiers work great on fleas. you’ll have to look it up, but flees can only live with a certain moisture level in the air, if you put dehumidifiers in the house, they end up dying.
If you have any white pillow cases white attracts fleas you lay it on the floor or anywhere you think there might be getting the fleas from you'll see the pillowcase with little black specks those are the fleas it does work flies are attracted to fleas white cats are always having problems with fleas because they're coat is white always remember that so again do a test leave a white pillow case on the balcony near the railing you'll see that the fleas are going to be jumping up please do jump very high so sorry to hear you're having that problem you'll get it all cleaned up😮
We used sticky flea trap with light before and it worked pretty good. Just make sure your cats don’t put their paws on the sticky side. It trapped quite a bit of fleas at the low level.
Are there non toxic alternatives?? because all these products could be a hazard aswell. Hot steam and hot water in machine 2 x wash is just as good as high level sprays.
I know that the original Dawn dish soap works great against fleas. When I adopted a 5 week old kitten who was too weak to tolerate any chemical flea product, the vet told me to use Dawn and it worked like a charm. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
So sorry you had to go thru this!
You are the best dad!

Should still clean Chase as a precaution! Those fleas hide really well
Poor kitties I hope they get the treatment like the stupid bedbugs sometime that’s hard to get rid of❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️😀👍
Aww, poor babies!💙 it's a nightmare what you have to go through to get rid of them, but I'm so glad it's not something worse, I got worried, by the title!😢🐈🐈⬛🐱🥰💙
Bless you for the love and care of you furbabies. ❤
Best dad ever👏👏👏
YOu're title worried me that one of the cats had passed away. Very glad that it was just fleas!

Borax works well in the carpets. Not sure about being around a baby, but it's a laundry staple so it shouldn't be too bad.
They are always in the house but don’t they go out on the patio? Maybe Kai brought that to your cats.
They have for small cats too!! Better than all the stuff you got! If you see black spots on the flea comb, that’s the dirt from fleas, sorry you were going through this, but you gotta get the advantage as soon as possible apply to each cat and do it every month and they can still go outside and not be affected by fleas.

Have mama babysit Taj so u can sleep. Kitties are so well behaved while bathing and in the dryer. Kai is too funny. ❤❤❤
Don't worry guys!
You will overcome it soon. ☺️
Just to clarify Hot steam on bedsheets and cushion covers, not the cats.
Dehumidifiers work great on fleas. you’ll have to look it up, but flees can only live with a certain moisture level in the air, if you put dehumidifiers in the house, they end up dying.
Walk around in white socks. That’s how you find the fleas in your house. 😅
Fifi karim love u both and adorable taji son ❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you have any white pillow cases white attracts fleas you lay it on the floor or anywhere you think there might be getting the fleas from you'll see the pillowcase with little black specks those are the fleas it does work flies are attracted to fleas white cats are always having problems with fleas because they're coat is white always remember that so again do a test leave a white pillow case on the balcony near the railing you'll see that the fleas are going to be jumping up please do jump very high so sorry to hear you're having that problem you'll get it all cleaned up😮
Awww poor furbabys ,you and fifi are wonderful parents , taking care of them all ❤❤❤❤❤
We used sticky flea trap with light before and it worked pretty good. Just make sure your cats don’t put their paws on the sticky side. It trapped quite a bit of fleas at the low level.
this 8s what marriage is all abt.....working and tolerating together
Your a Champ!!!
I appliedonce a month ointment for fleas / mites . Some cleaning chemicals cud be toxic to cats n dogs or house pets.
Well wishes that it doesn't happen again!
Mycodex environmental spray. My vet recommended it. Also, everytime you vacuum it causes the eggs to hatch due to vibration of vaccum.
Is the baby ok? Why is Kai living with you and not with your mother inlaw
Poor babies have fleas
Poor kitties
I had 4 cats with fleas, it was awful
Fleas live in the ground and probably jumped on the porch
What flea preventative (oral,topical, collars) are you using?? Get some “Flea Bombs” set them off in the rooms 3-6 times a year !!
Pauvres chats je les plains 😢❤❤
Poor babies
😢😢
❤❤❤
Are there non toxic alternatives?? because all these products could be a hazard aswell.
Hot steam and hot water in machine 2 x wash is just as good as high level sprays.
No it isn't you morrrron. I swear social media has made it so clueless fools can comment their ignorance.
I know that the original Dawn dish soap works great against fleas. When I adopted a 5 week old kitten who was too weak to tolerate any chemical flea product, the vet told me to use Dawn and it worked like a charm. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
Cats rule😅
Why would you have taj play with the cats that have fleas
How they get fleas they always in the house 🤔 I mean if they get fleas what is the hope for the rest of us 🤨so much work for y'all 😩
On patio!
Cats more important! All that time and money is ridiculous
Say sorry to the cat how ridiculous? How ridiculous
