I'm looking for any suggestions to help me control our flea problem.
Our cats love to go outside so we generally let them out from time to time during the day. The fleas are horrible here. I have not found any way to keep them off our cats. The best product I've tried so far is Frontline plus. It drives the fleas crazy and for the most part seems to kill them all. But it fails to keep new fleas from moving in. It will keep them at bay for maybe a week and then I notice them coming back. Since the cats love to go outside and will often race for the door whenever it is opened I find it hard to keep them indoors at all times and really dont want to. Are there any other products and/or home remedies I could try to eliminate or atleast keep the flea problem at a minimum without forcing the cats to never go outside? I am willing to try anything at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David
