I've never heard of Seresto Collars until this thread. Where do you get them?

That's what we did when we found fleas on the dog a few years ago
I would sprinkle borax over your floors and vacuum the next day. Tea tree oil mixed with water will also help. If you want to know how many are in your house, get some plug in night lights and put a bowl of water with a few drops of dish soap below the light.
You can also pay an exterminator, which is what we did to be safe

Thanks ICit. Do the collars protect the whole body? I ask this because I have been brain washed in to believing Flea Collars aren't all that, except when chopped up, and placed in the vacuum. Would we still use the Advantix II?

nope.... just the collar.
I have had it on 5 of my dogs... and things seem to be good.. even had a few foster cats that had fleas... and they were good.

Pepper's can get them. A sales rep came in and showed me one and the name seemed familiar. They are pricey but say they work for 8 months.

Eliminating a flea infestation takes a few things, in my experience with them anyway. First treat the pets against fleas. Then flea bomb the house; include the crawlspace unless you have a basement; just remember to thoroughly read the instructions to know how many bombs to use. Pack up the critters; set off the bombs and take "the kids" for a ride. You also have to spray for fleas outside the house; around the foundation, door threshholds and basically all entrances. Someone once told me to treat the yard for fleas; however that's done.

Our price will be between $50 & at the most $54. As I explained to ICit, the book I was looking at was from January. If the price is the same from Jan, they will be about $50- but *could* be as high as $54 if they have raised their prices.

Last year I battled fleas on my boxer for the first time that I ever owned him. Using Frontline used to be enough and than I moved to the sub-tropics where the fleas and creepy things NEVER die. I also am very allergic to the bites so I really have to be on the ball with them. I get massive welts where the fleas bite me.
I got cap star and did about 5 doses over the month and gave him Trifaxis which is flea, dewormer and heartworm preventative. Also got dicohmatous earth and vaccummed the rugs, bombed the house AND vaccummed 3 or 4 times a day. I did the candle in dawn and only had 3 fleas in there after all that. This year it isn't as bad since I was already treating him. I also have no problems giving him a bath in Dawn. He sulks but gets over it.

We checked with the distributor today and they no longer carry the line.
