Hey guys,

We got fleas!!!! We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. We live in a two story home with carpet and linoleum.. I used frontline on all 3 animals, bombed the house, wash the dogs 2/3 times a week flea comb them daily…and we still have fleas. I also treated the yard 2x and washed their bedding and vacuumed a lot. I need you to hook me up with what I need to get rid of them…thanks.

My home is infested with very tiny black, hopping and biting bugs. They bite primarily at night. If I run water I can see them on my socks but they hop away very quickly. I have heard some people call them black pepper mites since that is what they look like. Help, they itch like crazy. I have about 100 bites on me already. What can I do to get rid of them? I inherited a cat and they are on him also. They are not fleas. Thank you.

Hi. My name is Ryan. My cat has fleas real bad and he’s been acting weird. He’s gotten real thin and he sleeps most of the day. I gave him flea medicine and there are still fleas on him. I combed him about 4 times already and I’m worried. I don’t want anything to happen to him. He’s a family pet.

Hi there,

We just adopted a 4 month old puppy and he was treated with Frontline after his bath a couple of days ago by the foster mom. But when we picked him up Saturday, we noticed a couple of fleas on him. We want to treat now and have used your products before but cannot remember if Petcor is safe for a pup at this age (if size/breed matters, he’s an 18lb boxer/lab mix). I just don’t want him to suffer! Any suggestion would be helpful! Thanks!

We just adopted 2 kittens 2.5 months ago and also have 2 parakeets. The kittens had a handful of fleas so we treated them with advantage II for two months now. I think the flea cycle is still happening. I haven’t used anything to treat the house. We have tile, laminate floors, with a throw rug here and there. I don’t like using pesticides, but we also can’t have fleas. :)
