I haven't used flea collars in quite a while; the boys were on Frontline for several years. I used to use Hartz back in the day, though. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18869#post-412275 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:51:30 +0000 jcat 412275@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Ron, since Advantage and Frontline and Revolution came along, I don't use flea collars any more, I never liked them much and one of our cats used to have terrifying reactions to them. But Advantage and Frontline are a bit expensive, I must admit. I think someone had a tip on using one of them in bulk, I'll see if I can find it.</p> <p>Here it is: Scarver's great tip on making it cheaper to treat your cats with Frontline: <a href="http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18379" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18379</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18869#post-412268 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:39:28 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 412268@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Ron. My cats are indoor only and have never had fleas so I'm no help to you on this question. I know that Anncetera recommends using food grade diatomaceous earth to rid a home and outdoor areas of fleas. Here is a link to one website that sells it: <a href="http://www.dirtworks.net/Diatomaceous-Earth.html#anchorD20" rel="nofollow">http://www.dirtworks.net/Diatomaceous-Earth.html#anchorD20</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18869#post-412267 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:38:35 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 412267@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hey there Ron, hope that things are going well with you and the kits. I don't know much about flea collars but found this link on flea collars:</p> <p><a href="http://www.petplace.com/cats/cat-flea-collar-vet-s-advice-on-cat-flea-collar/page1.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.petplace.com/cats/cat-flea-collar-vet-s-advice-on-cat-flea-collar/page1.aspx</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18869#post-412249 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:15:58 +0000 SoxsMom 412249@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Okay I forgot to hit post when I first wrote! Hi Ron. Anything but Hartz I would say. We have lots of discussion about fleas this time of year. I added the tags in the upper right hand corner. If you click on them you can see other threads about fleas. One of the best things is diotomatius earth. It won't hurt your animals. You can use it on them and in the house. There are other threads that can explain much better than I do!</p> <p>By the way how are you doing Ron? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18869#post-412235 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:00:39 +0000 Renee in Arkansas 412235@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just wondering if there is a prevered brand of flea collar ? </p>
