So many decisions. Just want to make sure he is flea, tick and parasite free with using as few chemicals as possible.
Just wanted to say that Sentinel may appear to not be working because the ingredient in it that is suppose to provide flea control, lufeneron, is just a chitin inhibitor. It stops them from reproducing. It does not kill the adults and it likely will do nothing for the adults laying eggs in carpet, etc. It's not a bad product. People really just seem to have a misunderstanding about its use. This and Advantage may work well together as Fipronil and methoprene do (Frontline Plus).
