Frontline advantage for my cats to prevent ticks and fleas. My vet recommends it but is it not safe? If not safe what other things could I use to keep fleas and ticks off my cats?
Some people online were questioning the safety of frontline. I like it and my cat once had a tick and since using frontline there are no ticks.

right now we are using frontline on our cats and dogs. for the dogs it works perfect and they don’t have ticks or fleas. but for the cats it doesn’t keep fleas off AT ALL. we live in a somewhat woodsy area. we used to use revolution for cats but it doesn’t get rid of ticks…neither does advantage. so what should i do to keep BOTH fleas and ticks off my cats?

I have two cats. One of my cats has a MAJOR FLEA AND TICK PROBLEM, I mean BAD. I can cleaned and vacuumed my place up to a T twice. Washed them both in a Good Flea and Tick Shampoo that Kills the fleas and ticks for up to 4 weeks. One cat has it WAY WORSE than the other cat. My FIRST CAT has hardly any, but they are still bad, and my SECOND CAT THEY ALL ALL OVER HIM! The first time I bathed my Second cat, his stomach was Black, FULL OF FLEAS!, yeah, I know, totally Gross! Well, I have washed him 3 more times, with the flea and tick shampoo since that time, and then I BOMBED (FOGGED) my Whole Apartment, I used 6 cans, strategically placed in the "more prone" areas as well. Came back and even after that, over 2 wks ago, STILL FLEAS ON HIM AND JUMPING ALL OVER ME, STILL! So after that, I tried the Zodiac Sponge on, NOTHING, and after that, I ordered ADAMS Flea Dip, I first washed both of the cats with the flea shampoo, let them dry off, flea dipped them with ADAMS Flea Dip,
again, let them dry off after flea dipping them, put Frontline on BOTH of them,Vacuumed AND even used a Wet Vac Carpet Cleaner Vacuum to get anything else up from the carpet, opened all of my windows, to dry out my place, it dried with in an hour
Vaccumed AGAIN,the next day, and bombed my aptartment AGAIN, a few days ago!!! OMG, AND there are STILL a Bunch of FLEAS CRAWLING ALL OVER MY CAT!!!
WHY???

AND the last time I vaccummed, I put flea powder (100% Boric Acid (20 Mule Borax), on my carpet and left it there for 24 hours, it is suppose to help Repel fleas and bugs and such!!!!

STILL FLEAS, CRAWLING ALL OVER MY CAT!, AND FLEAS AND TICKS STILL JUMPING ALL OVER ME STILL TOO!!

I LIVE IN A REALLY NICE, VERY CLEAN NEIGHBORHOOD TOO. AND MY APT IS VERY CLEAN,

I ALSO SPRAYED ORANGE OIL ALL OVER THE PERIMETERS OF MY PLACE!!!

FLEAS ON ME!,AND ON MY CAT!!!

HELP!

ANY SUGGESTIONS???
Both of them are indoor cats.

the 2nd cat I got, was from a couple that had a litter of kittens from their older cat, maybe his mom was an outdoor cat and he got them from her? I’ll never really know for sure, but I know I didn’t have this problem Whatsoever when I had my first cat, and I have had her for over a 1 1/2 years. So I’m thinking that’s why they are ALL mainly on him, it just sucks too b/c when I’, sleeping, fleas will jump on me or if I’m sitting down and eating or when I’m on the computer, they will jump in my hair… I have flea bites all over my feet from them biting me, it;s really really Bad.

I am looking for ways that I can get rid of cat ticks and fleas. With the heavy rain that we have had in TX the fleas and ticks seem to be out in force. They have since infested my outside dog. He is perfectly happy staying outside, so he refuses to come in. My daughter and I noticed the other day that ticks have attacked him. He’s rather large and sometimes rowdy so he doesn’t like to stay still long enough for me to take them off. Since I have to bath him outside I need something that I can put together from house hold ingredients or that won’t make my dog or his area sick. I have the same problem, minus the ticks, with my indoor cats. Any help would be really appreciated.

I just found a tick on my cat today and we smothered it with Vaseline and we’re waiting to see what will happen in the next few hours. I was using a Hartz spray to “prevent” fleas and ticks. But I just now read that it’s not as good as other sprays and spot on medications. So any advice for future prevention would help.
