We have a flea problem. We have two cats and a 7 month old puppy. We treated the pets with Stronghold at the beginning of the month (after a long hiatus). The problem was getting quite bad... I was finding so much flea dirt on the light coloured cat, and DH and I each have well over 20 angry red bites on us.
For the first couple of days, I was finding a few dead fleas on the animals, but still continuously finding live ones when brushing and checking them for the past 3 weeks. Last night I bought a flea comb - it was a revelation, I've probably combed out at least 30 live fleas from each cat. Surely the Stronghold should be working by now? Why am I still finding so many adult live fleas? I spent the best part of £200 for the three of them for six months' supply and I'll be gutted if I've wasted money on a product that's going the way of Frontline.
