In almost 5 years at this house we have never seen a flea, then we switch baby sitters and this past spring my girls were getting chewed up like crazy at her house. She has 4 cats that went in and out and they were in the house. Once she kicked the cats out they were biting humans. It's under control now but it was bad!
Anywho.. pretty sure the fleas came home on the kids clothing. We treated the back yard and all the dogs except my girl pitty are on Sentinel. She is on Heart Guard. It controls flea populations but not adult fleas so I got Frontline. What GARBAGE! It did absolutely nothing, if anything the fleas seemed worse! So Tuesday I ran to the store and got some Capstar which is supposed to kill all adults in 24 hours. Before that I gave them all baths. I STILL saw a few adult fleas on Polly last night.
I spent a fortune already on all the heartworm and flea meds but I guess the next step is a serestro collar, I don't trust topicals now. Even those collars are expensive but I do not do fleas! Anyone else have any ideas? I can't get new heartworm meds, I have enough for a year for each dog so Trifexis is out of the question.
