I'd also really second what wizardo says- I don't think that over the counter flea productslike Hartz should really ever be used, even with adult cats. It's worth spending the money, seeing a vet, and using the relatively safer products like Advantage and Frontline.
In the case of a badly flea infested cat under the age of eight weeks a very light application of Frontline spray using cotton balls might be the lesser of evils. But, like I said below, best to do this with the help of a vet.
I took in a litter of strays once that was badly infested. I found that their hair was too short for a flea comb to be effective. I wasn't able to control the infestation, and one of the kittens became so anemic that she had to have a blood transfusion and an oxygen tent, which cost over $1000.00 (she did survive though- I actually still have her.)
Using some Frontline spray on cotton balls, carefully, might be the best thing, but best done in conjunction with a vet with younger kittens.
when i got my kitten i spent 30 mins picking them off of him and killing them. it seemed to have REALLY worked. i havent seen hardly anymore on him the past few days
i got a kitten from its mom cuz her milk dryed up and me and my mom spent hours cleaning it. what is the safest procejer to do on a kitten 3 weeks of age?
this outside cat that ive been feeding has had kittens they are 3 or 4 weeks old.....and they are infested and idk what to do. do you know any homopathic emedies i could use???????please tell me
@sugar6486 I have the exact same problem...Maybe try a flea comb? Try to pick all of the fleas that you can off of each kitten, then keep them outside (in a box or something) and bomb your house with flea killer stuff. That's the only solution I can think of.
@sugar6486 Get some flea shampoo and mix a few drops of it into half a jar of water. Take a flea comb and comb the kittens and cat. Scrape any and all fleas/eggs into the solution without dipping the comb. Stir fleas into the solution with some other implement (disposable spoon, a stick...)--not the comb itself. The fleas will eventually die of drowning or poisoning. Dump the solution into the toilet and flush if done. Wash your comb in hot water. Repeat this process when desired.
@sugar6486 Hi there..Isn't small amounts of minced garlic in their food a natural way to repell the fleas? I have had a bout of head lice recently and used some neem based hair oil (you can get from asian stores, Indian ladies use it) I rubbed it thoroughly through my hair and it got rid of the lice..maybe rub some pure neem oil into the kitten and cat's fur? I am sure there are other more natural things to use, just a bit of searching. Hope that helps :-)
thankyou doctor..i was finding through the net for the solution of this flea cat problem...thankyou soooo much for such help and keep uploading these type of videos and please one thing that i want the solution for hairfall though its natural but please it creates a big problem and dont recommend any products just some remedy or something like that in this video....hope you do this......
@93aree The best natural remedy for hairballs that involves no products is regular, thorough brushing to remove as much loose fur and undercoat as possible. Cats are fastidious groomers and if there is less fur coming off them to ingest, there will be fewer hairballs formed.
Feeding a high quality cat food is also essential to keep the skin and coat healthy and reduce shedding. Some hairball formula cat foods include extra fiber to help bind the fur and pass it through the cat's digestive tract.
thanks for ur help

I don't put soap in the water. I just make sure, that it is hot. The fleas can drown in that.

by "safer" you need to emphasize that flea sprays will kill small kittens, and even cats, especially hartz

@TheBunni223 Whenever handling kittens of such a young age, you should check with your vet to determine the most appropriate care. Good luck!
