Last year, it was apparent that the Advantage flea treatment I had been faithfully using for my kitties had begun to not work so well because, apparently, the fleas had developed resistance or immunity to it.
So, I switched to Cheristin, and it's working well. I just reordered today, another 4-month supply.
I admit I like Advantage a lot better. Cheristin has an unpleasant petro-chemical odor, and it's oily on the cat's fur. When five just treated cats sit on the bed all at once, the odor gets a bit powerful.
BUT, it works! The fleas are gone, and the odor soon goes, too. Well worth it. Much much better than fiddling around with those funky old flea collars and "flea powder."
After this batch is used up in another four months, I'm thinking of going back to Advantage, unless someone has a specific suggestion for yet another alternative, which I think will be a good idea.
AND, one more thing, don't be afraid to use growth inhibitor. That stops the larvae, so if you have them in your rug, you'll further reduce their numbers. (Gets rid of roaches, too, what's not to love?)
