advantage or frontline?

In my neck o' the woods, it's Frontline that has stopped working. Advantage is working GREAT. I have switched to Advantix for my dogs, because it's summer time.

I did a lot of studyin' before I got our flea problem under control. You have to use something that kills the eggs AND the larva and the adult fleas. Anything with an Insect Growth Regulator works (it has to kill the eggs!). We were forced to spray our yard every 10 days for about a month with heavy duty chemicals, while at the same time washing everything in the house over and over again, including the dogs and cats.

Bad flea problems cannot be solved with "natural products" unless you don't have anything else to do in your life but apply them over and over.

nix on the garlic for cats too - it destroys their red blood cells and causes them to become anemic. Yeah it does take pretty large quantities to be severely harmful, but still a little poison is still poison...

Gee, all this makes me doubly glad my cats are indoors only.

Mine *is* indoor only. My flea-treated dog must be bringing them in. My vet is recommending we try Revolution and Capstar (every 2-3 days for 10 days).
