1. Error: Actually, I've made with Frontline (Spot On) only had good experiences, but then I listened to my friend who told me that I should still be administered only once every few months Frontline. Every 4 weeks he found exaggerated. That was the first mistake. After 2 months without Frontline I restarted fleas found on the fur tigers. A huge procedure on cleaning work began.
Since a long time I deal then meticulously after exactly one month Frontline and on that occasion I had the absurd idea to try out something new.
2. Error: The "New" was this Spot On by Beaphar. Allegedly BIO - fresh hygienic effect and grooming.
A very bad idea, as I discovered it soon.
Episode 1, treatment with Beaphar: The opposite of grooming is the case and that stuff stinks moreover violently. Only 1 week after treatment both cats have very nasty greasy fur in the neck! Looks awful, can not be removed by brushing. Immediately after the treatment (drops in the neck) I put already found that the liquid is not as good as Frontline distributed, or the hair of the cat become fat. The cats can scratch with the hind legs in the neck quite spread the liquid over a large area.
Short and bad: This caused ugly fats, straggly hair in animals. (Since my two fur Tiger Maine Coons are falling particularly on. You have namely especially long hair.)
Episode 1.1 treatment with Beaphar: The chic red velor collar of my cat Kasimir turns, - through the medium in the neck, and has yet everywhere where it is distributed - from. Kasi has for weeks forward not a white spot on the neck, but his fur has a light pink coloring. Poor cat!
Episode 2, treatment with Beaphar: The worst case scenario occurs. Two weeks after treatment with Beaphar I put firmly back fleas; on a massive scale. At first I still thought so that the scratching is the stupid middle owed by the neck, but I was wrong. The fleas / Haaarlinge or the little beasts are howsoever call "back again"!
Short and bad: This does not work!
Conclusion: Beaphar no longer comes into the house to me.
What now?
Now, of course, good advice was expensive. As a first measure Frontline. All Ceiling / Sleeps disinfect, use flea spray. After another two weeks once all over again. The cats got in addition to Frontline flea also guard bands, better safe than sorry!
Carry on, I will in the long run once with Frontline. With well-intentioned advice when it comes to "less chemicals," I'm careful. Fleas can eradicates not so fast, that is so far clear. The beasts survive insanely long (allegedly up to 1 year without blood) and leave so continuously at regular intervals offspring in the form of eggs. In this respect, a small success, I mean a couple of weeks without fleas, no all-clear.
Additional tips I have now snapped:
1) Flea band:
Flea tape must be cut mostly eh. The rest of the flea band I zerschnippsele into small pieces and suck on these parts. Otherwise, from the pros (Oh, what I've read Internet forums!) Advised that you dispose of vacuum cleaner bags after sucking in plastic bags (who has the possibility can also burn). The only thing is that is quite expensive. The Flohbandschnippsel the vacuum cleaner bag should also do their service.
2) slabs / carpet that you can not wash treated:
Vinegar mix with water (1 part vinegar / 4 parts water) and carpets / beds (which can not be cleaned in the washing machine) spray so. Does not smell pleasant, which is so far clear. - The brutal alternative is a chemical mace called FOGGER. This is a kind of total-killing action (a kind of mist which covers everything in a closed space - and kill) against fleas, and when you realize to heart what has consequences and circumstances (Apartment 24 did not pray) will definitely Search case for alternatives to a FOGGER and try it first.
Should you therefore have outdoor cats who like having lousy hedgehogs, rabbits or other free-running free-running, totally lousy animals, such as mice, rats or so to play, then I can only advise to mindfulness. Once the fleas in the booth has far they nuked a few frontline treatments.
Who Stubentiger that hardly come outside, will not need on issues like these probably smile, and this type pest control.
