Fleas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could it be that fleas have developed a resistance to some of the products used to try and control them?

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, roaches are immune to just about anything you use to get rid of them. A few years ago, we had a roach problem (thanks to the people in the apartment next door!) and we tried everything to get rid of them. Finally, the exterminator used a new mixture of chemicals and I bought the Combat roach baits and, together, they worked and we haven't had any roaches since.

With the fleas, I'm not too sure. Another poster mentioned that the active ingredient in Frontline is something that's been used in fruit orchards for years. She said that it attacks the nervous system of the pests, but not mammals.

I'm going to be giving the kitties another dose of Frontline Plus this week and will be using the Borax on the carpets. I'll let you know how it turns out.
