the frontline and advantix work by mixing in the natural oils in their skin and that's how it moves all oer them so when you bathe them and wash away all the oils it doesn't have a way to get all over them. It takes a few days for that to happen and it said that it can take a few days for it to be effictive against ticks. that's why the no bath thing doesnt' say it on the boxes anymore but it used too. the companies decided they could leave that off now for some odd reason.
we had a terrible time last year with fleas. One of my best friends her husband has his own exterminating co. he told me a few things to do. if you have carpet remove the bag from the house after vacuuming. the fleas get sucked up in the bag and then after your done they just climb back out. we had to have everything sprayed last year was terrible frontline didnt' work advantix didnt' work I bought everything the vet sold and everything at the feed store for fleas and it was like I was giving them fertility drugs confused: He told me that something happened to the fleas last year wasnt' just my house that most of his calls were from people saying the same thing as me. He had to order and mix different stuff to get rid of them himself. he went into a big explainnation about what happened to the fleas and why we couldnt' kill them but my mind wandered after he said I'll get em for ya.
