Thread: Fleas!

After having a flea infestation by going from Frontline spray to Frontline combo a couple of years ago I have been using Stronghold & touch wood no more problems also by the time I had applied Frontline to one it was hunt five now six sit there waiting so really a double wammy.....

Is it a problem if I can't get a fine tooth comb near him to brush them out?

If you use something that effectively kills the fleas (so, not Frontline) you won't need to comb them out. They will drop off by themselves.

We had a similar problem with Darcie-lu, but the Frontline was totally useless & she tore out most of her back leg fur. The vet gave us Activyl spot for all cats, & a large can of Indorex spray for the whole house. Worked a treat. Dont know whats going wrong with the Frontline, but I did hear that they had altered the ingredients so that may be the reason.

I used to use Frontline on my dogs then last year one of them had a very nasty reaction to the pipette. I phoned Frontline and explained the reaction and was told it happens quite a lot! I haven't used it since. The breeder of my MC boy also told me not to use frontline because it no longer seems to work. I have used stronghold which is good and have advocate for my kitten, which also kills worms.

Carpet cleaning for whole house > $660.00
Exterminator ( got the wasps as well ) > $212.00
Cat flea bath & grooming for 2 & 1 bad haircut for MC Elvis > $160.00
2 doses of Advantage II > $20.00

Myself and the cats no longer being eaten alive > Priceless

Glad to see this post that turned up in my search. I wanted to know if Frontline was working for others, because it darn sure isn't working for Spartacus. Thanks for the info..I will be getting Advantage tomorrow. It's a shame I just bout a 6-pack of Frontline....a lot of wasted money.
