The presence of fleas (or more precisely called fleas) in newborn kittens is detrimental to health and can even be considered dangerous, this is because the fetus can suck blood which then leads to anemia (lack of red blood cells). Unfortunately, most chemical products for the treatment of fleas or fleas in adult cats are toxic and can not be used for kittens.
It is a winged parasite that sucks its host's blood (in this case a cat). It is one of the most commonly discovered and frustrating parasites of meowing animal owners. of some species of flea, the most commonly found in cats is the flea Ctenocephalides felis.
Newborn kittens can get infected from their mothers, so do not be surprised if we suddenly find a flea in the kitten a few days old. The most frequently occupied part is the base of the tail where we can see the spots of black spots that are dirt flea, while the fleas themselves can walk the road or jump between soft feather feathers.
White flea eggs with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm. These eggs can be seen with the naked eye, usually falling off the cat's fur together with the feces of the stool when the cat scratches the scratch, jumps, claws or while sleeping. Depending on the environmental conditions, the clawed eggs will hatch within 1 - 10 days into larvae. Foul droppings that fall along with eggs serve as food for newly hatched hook larvae. The ideal conditions for hatching eggs are moisture of 70% or more with temperatures between 21-32 degrees Celsius.
Under ideal conditions, the clawed eggs will hatch into larvae that have a length of 6mm. This cock larva has no legs but has a mouth. Larvae live from eating feces, and dead skin ruins. These larvae hide behind the carpet, furniture to avoid the rays.
After 7 - 18 days the ferocious larvae turn into pupa wrapped in solid material derived from saliva (saliva) of larvae and skin ruins. This pupa takes 7-10 days before it turns into adult fowl. The pupa is difficult to detect and usually resides or hides behind carpets or crevices of household furniture. At this stage the treatment is ineffective.

Cat hair combed slowly and then comb knock on the top of the bowl so that the fleas are caught falling and trapped in a dishwasher solution.
In addition to the above methods, catching a finger can also be done by wrapping double-faced tape into the finger and then affixed to the feline cat found on the body of the cat.
Because the eggs, larvae, and pupa from the fowl do not move and more difficult to see with the naked eye then the cleaning of the fungus must be done repeatedly with the intention of pupa hatch into adult fowl can be immediately eradicated before spawning again.
