Fleas!!... argh...

There is a pill called Capstar that the vet's office gave me for Percy when I found him and he was covered in fleas. They started dying within an hour.

Capstar works great for killing adult fleas at the moment (works great for rescues etc just before you bring them in the house), however it doesn't have the residual effect that Frontline/Advantage have. If the fleas are that bad in her house then she needs a product with residual effect to really combat the problem.

I understand, but I think these cats are ones that she just recently decided to adopt and are mostly outside. I didn't remember her saying that the fleas were in the house. I was just mentioning the capstar as a way of getting rid of current fleas in addition to the other treatments that were already mentioned. I apologize for not stating that the capstar was only for live fleas for immediate use. I had just remembered about it and was leaving the house a few minutes after that post. Thanks for the clarification.

thanks fort the info...

actually I haven´t seen one flea in the house... and I just had seen two on the kitties... and yes they are mostly out... but they, well Cyrus has been coming in for a few times... I bought some stuff that kills eggs and fleas and ticks to spray either inside or out... I just used it out and on the mats they snooze for bits... and I´m about to spray the whole house...just in case...

this spray is supposed to kill also multiple other pests so a great plus considering I needed to depest te garden... hahah.... spiders... and ants that may come with the food being there and such

I will also try find here for advantage or frontline... either I can find...if not I will have it shipped

thanks.. I´ll let you know what happens...
