[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 199467, member: 3353"] Same situation here, Lisa. (I love the title of your post!) Even though the cat is treated, we put a flea collar on her the day before yesterday. I think it is helping HER, though the dog is still picking them up outside. What I have been doing is manually picking the fleas off twice a day. (Not off the cat ~ yikes!) I keep a wide-mouthed pint jelly jar with water and Dawn in it to put the fleas I catch into ~ voila! They are paralyzed and fall to the bottom. Though both our animals are treated and I have cat flea powder under the cushions on all the furniture, we are being overrun with fleas, too. My flea jar count runs between thirty and forty a day. So, you figure thirty fleas x 30 days = 900 fleas a month who are dead ducks and 450 fleas a month who are not breeding in the house. The lady at Frontline Plus? Said we must be picking up flea eggs on our shoes, and that if we were not happy with the product, they would replace it. We got our last three month supply from Joe's Pet medications though, and they would not replace from that source. Lest anyone think the Joe's Pet medications Frontline Plus was less efficient than the Frontline Plus we had been buying at the vet? We went back to the vet for the Frontline Plus as an interim measure until the free replacements came in from Merril. (This was before we knew Merril would not replace from Joe's.) The Frontline Plus from the vet is not working any better. We don't let the animals sleep in our bed, anymore. Heh. At least, WE are a little more comfortable! Barbara [/QUOTE]
