JDog Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 My dogs have never had fleas until this year. Frontline doesn’t work, nor do flea collars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Got a stray cat that wandered in, left the house infested after a week. Tried all the sprays and bombs from Pets at home, spent a bleeding fortune ! Every one I tried was rubbish, fleas back after a couple of days. Formula C off Amazon, cheaper, highly effective, fleas were gone after a day, even gave the cat a blast on its neck, and its stopped scratching now.

Dougy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Your carpets will need more than 1 dose due to the eggs being dormant for some time. So dont expect that 1 dose will cure the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been flea free for 6 weeks now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I think you have to get a prescription for advocate to buy it online, but advantage works pretty well. Edited July 21, 2019 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had fleas on any of the dogs or cats since we started using it. You don't need a prescription to buy it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Stronghold is my fav. Treats worms as well as fleas and ticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
