10 ways to get rid of a Flea Infestation:
Fleas must be dealt with immediately when found in your house or on your animal. A serious infestation can arise within a short period of time if left untreated. The objective of treatment is to break the flea life cycle by treating the outside environment, the home and your pets.
1. You need to treat all outdoor areas where your pets may roam.
2. Remove and replace all pet bedding as this is where the majority of eggs will be.
3. If not replacing bedding be sure to boil wash it all.
4. Steam clean carpets to kill all life stages except for the eggs.
5. Look into chemical treatments for the home if a severe infestation – talk to your vet and research the options.
6. Regularly vacuum carpets – throw out the bag immediately.
7. If your pet travels in your car don’t forget to treat this area also.
8. Flea comb – time consuming but effective at removing adult fleas.
9. Shampoos, dips and medications for your animal are available to purchase.
10. Do your research into different methods and treatments.

You can buy spot on treatment for fleas/ticks and also there is one for worms too :D

They are liquid so you just put the drops on the back of the neck and that should get rid of them, you can buy them from most places but if you can’t find them then you can get them at the vets.
