Wiki: Frequently Asked Questions
Hi everyone!
I took your comments here to heart and tried to come up with a shortlist of some questions that are frequently asked in this subreddit. Obviously we can't put ALL the questions in there, need to keep it short, simple and manageable. There is now a link to Frequently Asked Questions on the sidebar, and I don't know if anybody noticed but there has also been a notice when you are submitting a post to PLEASE READ THE SIDEBAR.
Let me know if you can even see the wiki. Feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

I'm not sure if anybody else is having issues, but I'm unable to access the FAQ via the sidebar link.
I was afraid of that. Could you try now?
Thank you, it's working now! I'll have a read through it.
Edit: I think it's a decent list! I've noticed that there tend to be quite a few questions regarding recurring flea infestations in this subreddit too, so perhaps that might be something else which could be included.
That's a good addition! I'm not too familiar with flea infestation solutions so I will need input on how to answer that question :)
Diatomaceous earth, vacuuming how often...
The best tip I've ever been given is to cut up a flea collar, put it in the empty vacuum bag/chamber, then vacuum the hell out of your house (at least once daily, more if possible) for about a week, then toss the bag/empty the chamber. Wash all linens and bedding in the hottest setting safe for the fabric. Eliminate clutter. Repeat in 2 weeks to catch any hatching eggs. It's cheap, it's simple, and it works great.
Also, flea treatment from the vet of course.
