| BLAH! I hear ya! I hate fleas. I use frontline and even with the cats haven't had fleas... oh man... probably the last time I had them (I mean one of the animals ) must have been close to 20 years ago. It definately was before my oldest son was born and he's going to be 20 this Christimas Eve. (Knock on wood!) Try Frontline - and then hoover everything in your house. You need to get rid of the eggs. |

| I use K9-advantix on my two girls and i've never seen a flea on either of them. You might need to now put a flea bomb in your house to kill any eggs you might have in there now, especially if you have carpet. Sorry you've had such a problem. But it seems to work great for me.

| Frontlin Plus I live just one state above you I was haveing a flea out break and I was told the frontline plus is what is working here. Just don't bath 48 hours before or after. then all should be ok for about 90 days i found one fles from the time i put it on the one that i found was dead sorry the 40 bucks was lost . Try the frontline plus it kills fleas, eggs and ticks |

I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't know about you, but I don't have money to burn so I'd put those darn fleas in a baggie and take them to wear you bought the K-9 Advantix and tell them you want your money back.
