My neighbor will wipe the kittens down with alcohol until they are old enough to have a flea bath. I did try this on my daughters kitten that was 6 weeks old and it did work. We also washed the kittens in dawn. But if you put stuff on the kittens will the mom leave them?

When I get sings that I have flies I try an steam the areas that the cats use. I sprinkle baking soda and cedar chips (there is a nice brand of kitty litter listed in the reviews that I use) on my rugs. You may be able to do that on the areas surrounding the cats bed

Forgot something. Yes you can use Advantage on the Mom now. Also might want to treat her for tapeworms since she can get them from the fleas.

If you wet them down it makes it harder for the fleas to move and easier to catch. Start on the face with a wet cotton ball and work your way to the tail. Otherwise they go in the ears and eyes. At 8 weeks you can use Advantage on them.

I read online that for puppies with fleas you can dip them in apple cider vinegar and then rinse them off with water and it is suppose to help. i am not sure it if helps for kitten. you could ask the vet about that and see if they know anything about it or just give it a try. i dont think it would hurt to try.
