hi guys I'm in need of some advice i currently have two plants in late flower (1x ghs cheese and 1x random seed found in a bud) and the flat has a bit of a flea infestation from my neighbours cat is there anything i can spray around the place to kill the little buggers and not harm or leave any residue on my plants both of the plants are in a bud box but the room there in will need to be treated the last thing i want to do is poison myself after all my hard work

Make sure your neighbour gets some Frontline or something too, save it happening again.

Pet fleas do not affect plants in any way or form - so don't worry about it. wink1.gif

e²a: It's a bit weird that *your* place should have a 'flea infestation' if it's just your neighbour's cat that has them. unsure.gif

Ask your neighbour to treat their cat(s) with Frontline or Nuvan, whichever the topical flea treatment is.

Nuvan stay clear from the vets, Nuvan top is for the animal infestation

Ahh, nice one, maryjane. thumbsup.gif

¿Aren't most of the treatment options for things like this from the vet's really expensive, and can be gotten much cheaper elsewhere?

Like my mum's cat had a slight case of ear-mites, and the vet was saying the the treatment stuff was only available from the vets and it cost quite a lot. But then my mum went to a pet shop or a Wilkinson's and got some drops for the mites off-the-shelf for a couple of quid.

¿Isn't it the same with pet flea treatments? unsure.gif

Most chemists will sell frontline these days, for about the third the cost from vets.

Last lot I got for my dogs (2 x 20+kg Staffys) cost about £8. For a single average sized cat, it would be half that easily.

¿Chemists as in Pharmacists - and that's the topical stuff that you apply on the base of the neck and tail? unsure.gif

Well I never - it wouldn't have occurred to me that they'd sell it. thumbsup.gif

i got some flea treatment for my dog today. yeah vets do have expensive treatments usually but they have stronghold which is really good. my dog is in the larest weight catagory (she's a rottweiler) and she cost £24 !!
although it's relly good stuff and only available from vet, and it's 3 months worth so not to bad
