I have a completely indoor cat...has been since we got her at 6 wks old. we moved about 3 years ago and I believe the land behind us is pretty wet . we have bad mosquitoes, spider, FLEAS!!! etc. I live in a mobile home now and my cat is tore up with them. the are jumping on us. we tried the nitenpyram which works great for 24 hour...diatomaceous and other carpet powders...topical meds...oral meds. I feel so bad for my cat, her neck is covered in scabs. its better right now bc of the cold weather but I know its about to get bad again. please how do I get them out!

I would first recommend talking to a veterinarian and getting medication from them for the flea control. Beyond that I would recommend calling the extension office where you live about insect control in your house. It looks like you may be in Jefferson County so their phone number is <personal data hidden>.
