The liquid tubes can evaporated. The caps on some are ridiculous and the price is too high. The Cap—- pills usually work but don’t seem to last. The fluid can also be sticky and get stuck on the fur. My cat doesn’t like me giving him anything. I even have to get help with his collar. I have that peppermint spray but don’t understand why the bottle says spray it on their back. Dangerous. How do they get by with saying that. Just beware.

THE BEST FLEA TREATMENT $5 IS BOB’S MILL NUTRITIONAL YEAST. Once fleas are off the pet, add it every day during flea season by sprinkling on food. We eat too–tastes like parmesan cheese and fleas HATE it. The high b vitamin content ‘flavors’ blood/smell so fleas abandon ship and go elsewhere than your fur baby. It is cheap and works on dogs and cats and kittens with NO side effects, no poisoning, no neuro side effects and no toxicity! TRY it!

In reply to Beringer.

Hello there! Thanks for the comment, and I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you! It is essential that the full dose goes onto your cat’s skin, not fur, but I wouldn’t recommend re-applying before it’s time to, since we don’t know how much made it onto her skin and was absorbed by the body. I know it’s frustrating, and you’re doing your best! Hopefully, it’ll work a little better next time. All the best!

In reply to Laurie. I've seen or read about about vinegar water sprays, flea combs,, brewers yeast tablets and using salt on rugs, baseboards and vacuuming frequently, cedar chips or nematodes on lawns, washing beddings, cat brushes etc in soapy hot water

Our 14 year old indoor cat has a worse flea condition than in previous years and we’re running out of ideas for safe treatments. I cosnidered Capstar but reading horror stories in Amazon reviews (related to this and others like Chesterin) of cats suffering or dying saddens or terrifies me and am baffled why safer veterianry medicines can’t be made

Is it fine if some of the flea topical I used on my cat ended up in my cat’s fur? I have a cat that hates being held or restrained and so when I tried to put the flea topical on her I did my best to get it to her skin or as close to it as best as I could. Unfortunately, the entire time she was moving around so I have no idea how much ended up on her skin if at all. I guess my ultimate question is will the flea treatment still be effective? If it helps my cat is long haired and the topical I used was front line plus for cats.

In reply to Mallory Crusta. Well, if that's the case, shouldn't you update your YouTube video so then all other cat-owners know about that? You don't have to re-shoot the whole video, but you can certainly add an annotation to it, or you can edit your pinned comment and add that important info on there.

In reply to Tony Stack. Hi Tony, it looks like these may, in fact, be synthetic pyrethrins. Your cat should be kept away from the Raid and treated surfaces for at least 24 hours.
