Dealing with recurrent fleas can be frustrating, especially if you're using monthly preventatives. The key often lies in treating both your pet and their environment. Flea eggs and larvae live in carpets, bedding, and furniture, not just on your cat. Ensure the flea preventive you're using is effective and correctly applied (check for expiration and proper dosage). You might need to use a household flea spray designed for pet areas, vacuum frequently, and wash all bedding. Consider a professional pest control service for severe infestations. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
