[QUOTE="klmno, post: 199581, member: 3699"] Lisa, if you want to try this, the name is Talstar Professional. I'm putting a link about it's use for fleas below. The link says there are cat fleas and dog fleas- I never knew that but wonder if it's the reason some people's cats are harder to treat than their dogs. Anyway- keep pets and kids off this for at least a day or two. (Well, I usually did it in the evening in the back yard and took the dogs to the front until the next day- with young kids, I'd keep them off for at least a full day and night.) It is very potent. It's very handy though because it can kill about any insect there is- I originally bought it for use on my roses. When I learned how many different things it kills, I decided that I don't mind buying a bottle a year for about $50 to use on whatever pest is bugging me at the time (no pun intended). It can save calling an exterminator for some things.
