Advantage II or Frontline Plus / Your Pick ?

[brotheral]

Hello friends..
It's time once again to purchase topical flea treatment for the 3 boys.They go in and out "at will" here in the country. I've used advantage with good success, but wonder if I should consider Frontline plus.
The only reason is that Frontline lists Tick control also. We haven't had tick problems with them, but should I consider the added protection ?
What has worked best for you ??
Thanks... AL in "Almost Heaven" West Virginia

Hi, just taken a stray in who was infested with fleas, im currently using Frontline and have found fleas on her once 2 days after treatment but nothing since. Its really hard to get Advantage over here in the UK with out a vets help so Frontline is good enough for mine.
My dad also used Frontline on his dogs for tick and i works really well they pick them up all the time when in the woods so it works for us.

I like Revolution. I don't believe it takes care of ticks, so it might not be ideal for a country kitty.

Wish I could help but I don't use any. My guy is indoor only and I figure if he's not broke, don't fix 'em. I'll wait until I see evidence of fleas before I start putting stuff on him.

Where in WVa are you? I went to college in Bluefield, Va.

I use Revolution. It does work on ticks and also prevents heartworms as well which is good for the coast here as we are unindated with mosquitos.

I have seven indoor/outdoor cats. They pick up ticks all season and fleas too sometimes. I routinely use Frontline for ticks. Frontline did not work so well on a flea infestation that happened last year. I picked up Advantage (cheaper) and it did a great job.

I also dust my cats with food-grade diatomaceous earth (harmless - they can lick it) and have seen fewer pests overall.

I use Revolution for mine. They're both indoor kitties but they get it mostly to prevent heartworm and earmites. I don't expect fleas and ticks on the little monsters.

It is recommended to switch treatments so that fleas don't become immune to one chemical.

I use Frontline one month and Advantage the other.

I just had Sasha treated with Frontline. The Vet chose it and administered it. I saw fleas jumping ship after 2 hrs after application. They are still dying off. I don't have experience with other though...sorry.
