Hi All~
Yesterday when 120 was sitting in front of me at the computer and blocking the screen (his normal morning spot) I was giving him some scritches and found an engorged tick on his neck. I lit and then blew out a match, held the hot end to the tick and then easily pulled him out, including his head and a piece of poor 120's skin. After that, I examined 120 more closely and found fleas on his neck and head! There weren't too many, so I gave him a bath. Then I checked Wolfie, who is indoor only, and he also has them! To his horror, into the bath for him too! I stopped at Pet Supermarket on the way home and bought flea shampoo, flea collars and a product called Bio Spot. It was $14.49 for three treatments applied to the back of the neck. I thought that maybe it would work like Revolution, which cost me over $75 a month when I used it with 7 cats. Well...used the Bio Spot and saw no difference except the cats all seem nervous and jumpy, the fleas that were directly in the treated area are dead but there are live ones inches away on the face; the place where I applied the product is a big greasy oil slick (the Revolution used to soak into the skin immediately) and the flea collars also seem to be doing nothing. So, I seem to have just blown about $60 when I will have to get the Revolution anyway. The collars are Scratchex brand and are supposed to kill fleas and ticks for 5 months. They were $4.49 each.
