Yes, I've used that and Advantix. Of course I wouldn't be using the permethrin now unless we had a serious tick issue. Hadn't had a problem with either though. I keep Frontline Plus on hand now. Rarely have to use anything. I would use it for a few months without being really concerned. Just not something I'd want to use month after month. Way too much of a concern of these things being carcinogenic. I think lufeneron (Sentinel) is milder and it would make me more comfortable (until I read something bad about that too lol). A new protocol that has some support is Sentinel monthly and then Capstar as needed. That may be what we switch to (and then just plain Interceptor in the winter like we do now).

Good to hear that you haven't seen reactions. That is always my main concern because Ellie reacts to so much. A bit concerned that it's going to nauseate her like most other things... We use just plain Interceptor now and she does well with it.
