    There are MANY anti Hertz sites online, I refuse to buy ANYTHING Hertz.. too many animals have gotten ill off it & far too many have died. If I'm remembering correctly the flea collar was the worst one... Also if my memory servers me correctly the issue with Hertz products is the way it's mass produced... ummm it's not equal doses.. meaning 1 dose might be normal, 1 dose might be too low, & the final dose might be too high...

    Also.. why are you offering to kill our pets? LOLz ; )

    Let's face it, the $hit is pesticides that are absorbed into your pets skin. I know this may sound crazy, but I just try to avoid fleas by keeping my cats inside, and stripping my washing my clothes immediately if I've visited a shelter. Seems to work.

    I know Hartz is bad. My grandpa said oh, you should get Roxy some of that and I was like NOOO. We did buy this spray from a farm and garden store last summer for horses (but it's also dog friendly) because Roxy had some flies bothering her. It also seems to help with fleas... I know it's not flea medicine, but it worked pretty well.

    We can't use the spray on Lily though because the spray isn't supposed to be used around cats.
