I put Brewers Yeast in their wet food. Was told that fleas do not like that in the cat's blood. Harmless to the cats.

Then brushed 20 Mule Team Borax into my carpets and plush sofa and chairs. I had 3 cats at the time, including a long haired Maine Coon. The salt disintegrates the fleas, larvae, and eggs.
