fleas are bad this year

Better check those products as they all have different active ingredients. Active ingredient in Heartguard is Ivomectrin. As for the cat/dog going different places, the diatomaceous earth goes with them also. Helps to put it in their bedding and lounging areas as well. I treated my entire lawn one time with the DE and use the Frontline on the dogs and cat and haven't seen a flea or tick now in years.

I use Bayer Tree and shrub wirh the active ingredient IMIDACLOPRID 1.47%, which is the same as frontline that uses a little over 9%
imidacloprid. I measure .1 cc for 10# of dog weight and apply it on the back. Works just fine. Also, spray (1oz/gal of water)it around the dog houses about every 7 days for about 3 applications. No more fleas. The front line cost about $13 a month per dog. The tree & shrub is MUCH cheaper, about $18 a quart.
I use Ivomec for heart worm treatment on the dogs, again .1 cc per dog 10# Weight, squirt it in their mouth. Been using it for 20 years and have dogs that are 14 & 10 years old. Never had a problem with heart worms. Caution, Don't overdose them!!!!!
That's .1cc of Ivermectin per 10# of dog weight orally, once a month. 50ml Ivomec cost about $45 but will last a long time

The box of Frontline Plus says active ingredient is Fipronil along with methroprene which is an IGR.

Bayer makes Advantage II not Frontline, my mistake, should have looked it up and not guess......geee whiz; however, imidacloprid is still the killer at 9.1% and a dash or pyriproxyfen .46% as a growth inhibitor. Seems death would surfice
