Vron, I could have written your post myself...Oh, such stress dealing with fleas.
I have two former feral - indoor/outdoor brothers. I've tried several of the topicals, and although they may work...the stress of application has done me in.
Both boys react to the sting or stink and run...

Two indoor/outdoor former ferals.
I'm currently using Frontline Plus. My cats HATE it because it burns.
They recognize the aroma as soon as I click open the vial.
Next dose I'm going to try to disguise the smell with candles... or have some...
Willowy, you ask good questions....but unfortunately, I can't give you a good answer since I'm just the landlady.
First of all, I don't know for sure WHAT is being fed. Both wet and dry (I think). It appears they are eating it. They certainly surround Mrs. C and the ferals while she's there...
Don't hold your breath waiting...FIRST, I want to talk with Mrs. Cat Guy... THEN, I gotta talk my son into constructing a practice unit.
Then I'll be able to let you know.
Norachan,
Yes, I have read about reflective items on line. At first, I didn't think it would help my situation....but you know, now that you've brought it up again i think it's worth a try. Certainly can't hurt. ~ Joyce
