| Fleas and ticks hello everyone . I'm going to start training syphin to potty outside but I'm nervous of fleas and ticks . he is 4 months old at a healthy weight of 6 lbs. I would like to know what medicines you would recommend . I'm leaning towards advantix . also if you know any natural remedies for around the house, say something I can spray on his bed and blanket as well . thanks in advance

| no naturals that will work. ive tried serveral versions.....i use revolution as advantix ii and frontline plus were not working. he is old enough i believe but you can always check with your vet too. i know revolution is a bit more money but for me flea and tick free is worth it.

| Advantix is the only thing that seems to work here so that is what we use. Generally if he is on a flea and tick preventive you shouldn't have to spray anything inside your house.

Zachary's Mom Donating Member | We put flea killer on the lawn and then use a powder treatment on the carpets. No fleas all year even here in TX. Let me know if you want the name of the flea powder. Louise |

| We use frontline plus and heartguard. Amy is almost 4 months old and has had 2 applications of both. Have to take the heartguard and cut it into 8 pieces but she does chew it right up. The yard is also sprayed in the summer. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Revolution is not for ticks it only does fleas. And in the north east you really need to make sure you have tick prevention. Deer ticks. Natural products don't work.
