Flea Problem

[ummmm]

Tell me about it.

What have you tried so far??

Frontline.....you are supposed to part the fur until you see skin and apply the liquid to the skin. In millions of attempts, I have never, ever seen skin, so the the liquid was deposited on the fur.

Did it work?..........No idea :-)

[ummmm]

Sqad....was it a solo effort?

We need two people at least. 3 is better though. One to hold the cat down, one to part the fur, one to apply...

I have answered this one many times, my advice will always be the same. Whilst some proprietary flea treatments will work on occasions, they are expensive and rarely work effectively, if it fails you have wasted that money and then you need to buy more of the same for it to fail again. After doing all that it has probably cost you more than a professional pest control treatment that is guaranteed.

I was a pest controller for 13 years and even we struggled to eradicate fleas sometimes with far superior chemicals than are available over the counter.

Don't waste your money, get it treated properly and make sure the treatment is guaranteed.

OK, I was assuming a flea problem in the house :-)

I rarely treat mine for fleas, in fact I cant remember the last time, and I have never seen one on any of the dogs. I do know you should treat the house as well as the dog though.
