The drops you put in one spot, they are absorbed into the skin and oil glands, and then "travels" and is distributed through the oils over the whole body. The spray does NOT travel...wherever you get damp is where it stays put. It's absorbed just into the skin, apparently. It does still protect for 30 days, and it does still kill fleas and ticks by contact...they do NOT have to bite to die!!
Ok, just needed to make sure I don't lead anyone astray! |
That's interesting. I've never heard that. I've been using the spray for almost 2 years and I haven't seen a single flea or tick in that time (& we do have a lot of both here in Oklahoma). I have always sprayed only behind the neck, between the shoulder blades - the same place I used to apply the drops. And I only apply half of what the spray bottle directions say to use.
Well, as long as it's working I'll keep using it. I really prefer the spray over the drops because it's so much easier to control the dosage.
Thanks for the information!
