TYPHUS

I have been talking about the problems we are having with fleas in this area. I put frontline plus on my dogs, spray yard and house and in 2 1/2 weeks, fleas are back "thick as fleas on a hound's back". Nobody is having any luck getting rid of them no matter what we do or try and all past proven methods are failing.

My brother called me from Austin this morning and in the conversation he was talking about how horrible the fleas are up there. Said he had put Frontline on his dogs, sprayed yard and house and in jus over a week, fleas were thick again. Sprayed house and yard and dipped the dogs--week later fleas were back. Sprayed yard and house again and used the Adams spray on the dogs. he is scared he is going to poison them if he keeps going at the rate he is.

WELL in church yesterday it was announced that there have been two confirmed cases of TYPHUS here in our little town of 9300 and they are believe to be caused by fleas. Many had never even heard of typhus. It is really getting scarey that we can't seem to get rid of the fleas and now they are causing people to get sick.

That is scary!

I/we have had a flea problem until I changed flea meds to Advantage with a tick collar, preventic, and for the little dogs, Advantix. Have not had a problem with fleas since.

My parents still use Frontline Plus, and are battling the flea infestation on a regular basis. It doesn't seem to work on there dogs at all. I think I have convinced them to try something else.

Through my vets office, I have heard people complain about Frontline Plus not doing the job even applying it on their dogs three days later.

I called the headquarters of FP, and was given a bunch of milarky. I was offered my monies back only if I had a letter from my vet saying the flea application failed.... What a bunch of @%^#%$#
