LOVE IT! Flea Genocide
We moved out in the country and my indoor pets turned into indoor/outdoor pets. Thanks to to all the rain we got this winter, they became flea infested this spring and i tried EVERYTHING, to no avail, my cat was so bad, you could see by just looking at him, how fleas walked across his face and my heart bled for him, the dog had them in her long fur and even with dawn-baths (who DO work, just not good enough because those suckers are so deep in her long golden retriever fur).
Topical treatments and drops did not work and it got frustrating because you apply once, and then have to wait a month before you can try the next brand. Then i finally remembered CAPSTAR from my time working in a shelter, years ago and i ordered the ones for cats and dogs. i did cheat a little and gave the dog 2 pills (she is 46 lbs and those pills are for 2 - 25 lbs, but i wanted to try them first and not waste yet again doses if it wasn't working).
The package arrived at 11 am. at noon i crushed the pills in tuna, one lump for doggie and 1 lump for kitty...at 12:30 pm they started scratching and licking and the dog even whined and i noticed some spinning, writhing dots on the floor. that lasted about an hour..now its 2:45, the dog is sound asleep and not twitching like in all those weeks before, the cat is laying next to me, still giving me the evil eye, but i dont see ANYTHING moving on him anymore, not even when i dig for it...i DO see eggs on the dog so she will get a bath and in a couple days another round of treatment. Oh and i walked around my kitchen/dining/living room area...i can see dead fleas EVERYWHERE!!! time to sweep, mop, vacuum and i feel SO relieved for them.
