If you're not sure which flea treatment is right for your cat, consult your veterinarian to identify a product that's both safe and effective. Have you used any of these products before? Did they work and were you happy with the results? Let us know in the comments!
My veterinarian is not going to identify any product/poison he can't make money off of; I've already tried that. The best combination of safety and effectiveness I've found is colloidal silver.
Years ago I had a nasty flea infestation which almost killed one of my cats. She needed 2 blood transfusions which saved her life. My vet recommended Fleabusters which deprives oxygen and eventually kills the fleas. It was a great product and it was safe for pets and humans.
I was itching along with my cats. I had fleas in my room. I used natural care home spray for fleas everywhere daily on my bed, cats bedding, and wherever my cats sat. I also changed bedsheets and vacuumed. Bathe my cats with Adams flea/tick shampoo. I also used Adams flea/spray daily on my cats. I spray it around their neck soaking wet as if they wore a flea collar. It’s helping my cats. I think spraying around their neck daily is helping my cats best.
First, treat all your pets with advantage. If house is infested, next use pecor 2000 on all carpets and lightly on wood floors. Use the advantage every month. Worked for us after weeks and weeks of absolute hell. Hope someone finds this useful.
I have used THREE doses of advantage and literally none of them worked. I’m convinced they changed the formula to something completely ineffective. I’m particularly upset because that stuff is NOT cheap. 😡
Unfortunately, I found that my cat can’t use many products due to her having sensitive skin, I’ve found that a treatment called Catego has worked best for her and using a spray from a brand called Natural Care!
I tried the Soresto collar on my cat and when he went to scratch his neck, the collar spun and gave him really bad neck burns and cuts. I've had my other cat get her teeth under it and that caused mouth trauma. I wouldn't recommend soresto to anyone for cats. Look up "cat collar injuries" as they can be serious. Such as the cat getting their arm in the collar and causing a massive cut in their armpit.
Huge thanks. Had two years of nightmares with fleas, mainly due to Frontline Spot on not working and seeing all the comments about it wonder how they continue to be allowed to sell a product that doesn't work. Even if their Frontline Plus works, not giving the company anymore of my money. Thank you for this review, most helpful. 🌻❤
I adopted my cat from the animal shelter and immediately took her to the vet. She didn't have fleas but ear mites. I used advantage multi which works on most parasites. Great stuff. Important to note, that you have to wash the bedding and treat the whole house along with the other pets with fleas and mites.
I can't find that on Amazon and was wondering how you had to get yours? Mine have mites from a stray we took in that had them and it's getting crazy with mites and fleas up in here lol
What's the active ingredient of it? Man no article has ever explained the working mechanism of half of these products. Like do the fleas need to bite the collar, does it leak stuff onto the skin and then leeches into the body? Vaporises slowly? Like how tf do these things work.
Its really important to note the weigh of your cat and what topical medicine youre using. I made that mistake and my kitty had seizures it was so scary. (This was many years ago but its still important)
We have 9 kittens right now! One of them was saved by the fire department from a car they were stuck in. We took the kitty in partially because no facility will be accepting new animals (covid precaution) anyway I’ve been using dawn dish detergent on the kittens except for the one that was stuck under a hood. She is traumatized so she needs time to build up trust first.

I'm so glad I found this channel! I have 2 cats, hagrid and harriet. I flew treated them but I'm still finding fleas. Growing up my mom always gotten the topical kind and only get it from the vet. This was an extremely helpful video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
I fought a huge infestation of fleas when I rescued a kitten from the streets, my grown cat got fleas, my dog got fleas and my kitten was the one that brought the fleas. So at that point my whole house was infested, and I didn’t know what to do. My grown cat had gotten fleas before when she was also a kitten and she also came from the streets, so I had deal with it before by taking my cat and my dog to the vet and getting a the medication the provided which was $15 each dosis. It worked for me at that time but this time around it was not working, I took all my animals to the vet multiple times to get the treatment but it was doing nothing. With my husband we decided to give Advantage a try and it work like a champ! We started to see dead fleas appeared in our sofa or the bed, they were just dying with the first treatment we have put on them. Now I know maybe advantage could be a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth every penny, specially when I had already spent a bunch in the vet’s medication that didn’t work. Complementary to advantage I used a house flea treatment spray so I could spray it on the furniture and carpet and that helped a lot. I was really frustrated with the fleas so what I did is that I gave my cats a bath, I applied the advantage treatment, then I washed all my bed sheets and cover seats with hot water and after I did that I sprayed the house with that treatment, it worked really good! I got all of those things at Walmart so it was easy access and amazing results. My home is now flea-free and my cats are happier than ever.
@@chrissyh658 Hartz UltraGuard Plus Flea and Tick Home Spray, this was the spray I used to cover my bedsheets, sofa, and carpet. It is not the one I use to apply to my cats. Advantage ii is the topical solution I use.

Revolution is another flea killing option. It's about $22 a dose from my vet and $25 if I want revolution plus. You can find it online too but I would check with your vet that it's safe for your cat (as you should for most things). It really helped me when I rescued a stray kitten that had a flea infestation
You will start to notice small red dots that look like blood around the washer, sink, or anywhere that can get wet. Flea poop turns red when wet. That is when you need to start finding flea meds for the animals. This means the house is about to get overrun by fleas, if not already. I have found that buying a spray for bed bugs and fleas works well around the house. I still need a cheap solution for fleas for 7 cats. I am starting to get a problem again.
And Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (FGDE) sprinkled on your mattress, carpets, cats fur. It cuts open the exoskeleton of bugs and dehydrates them, so they, larvae, and eggs all die. Takes awhile though.
I have been reading online about flea killers for cats. Several sites state NOT to use anything with Pyrethrins on cats as it is a neurotoxin and can kill cats. Some of these products you show have this chemical.
I don't know what that collar contains. It's too expensive as it is an imported product here so price is like 3 times. But I have read about other flea insecticides and some like Propoxur work almost instantly, whereas things like Fipronil take a good 1-2 days to actually kill the fleas. So I don't find it unusual that they walked over the collar. It probably isn't a contact killer.
Used capstar one time for my male cat. Might have noting to do with it but 2 days later I had a blocked cat for the first time. The day I gave it to him he just laid around and gave off a strange smell and ran a fever. Months and 7k later he's had a PU surgery and finally acting like himself again. Like I said not sure if it's related but ill NEVER use it again. I'll only apply prescription treatments for flea's ect from my vet now.
You should have mentioned that even though the Seresto collar is expensive, it lasts for 8 months which means in the long run it is way cheaper than something you have to use every 30 days. Ive found they keep working even longer. Best flea treatment for sure!
I agree with you I had this flea collar and it was working great especially because I have a cat that is very allergic and sensitive to things. However there was a recall and I heard cats were dying and were getting sick so I stopped using it I have used revolution, but my cat seems to be allergic to it.
I have four cats with flea infestations and will be implementing many of these tips! But I will actually be using bug bombs to treat most of my apartment, I've done this before when we had an ant infestation so I know it works! I put the cats in a separate room or area of the apartment then I duct tape the door to the room with the bug bomb and I do this to each area of the house until every section is treated, moving the cats and myself accordingly. It's a length process for sure but I want to be absolutely certain I stamp out these fleas. My babies will no longer suffer! Best of luck to everyone treating flea infestations.

I’m going to try this, I have 6 adult cats and I’ve been struggling for 6 months trying to use the brand “vets best”. So at least now yk it’s not so affective. Good luck to u too
Had dogs and cats, mopping with Dawn, or using borax powder that mopping killed all the flea infestation after using a spot on flea treatment. Also used dawn as a shampoo on my dogs. Work marvelously
I'm getting them in my room as well and my cat doesn't even come in here! Its driving me insane because I'm always itchy and paranoid they're getting on me and biting me while I sleep ugh
Out of those 8 products I got 6. The raid is the best out of the ones I got for the house. And the drops is the best for my cats because I can see the fleas dying and falling off.
I used coconut oil and it was the best thing I could have done I have a long haired cat and didn't realize she got fleas because she never even went outside so I put coconut oil all over her coat and the fleas could not move and I was able to brush them right out !!!
@Jay Bennett I had a hell of a time getting rid of them, and she's an inside 🐈 I keep a flea collar on her at all times !!! Oh did I mention she's long haired lol
I actually just got the same flea comb, the vets+best home spray and waterless shampoo and after purchasing the two I’ve seen some negative reviews. People saying they found their cat dead after using the shampoo. 😩I don’t wanna use neither now on my boys and I’m thinking I should just return them. It’s Bothering me that a company is making Products for cats with oils that are toxic for them.🙄
I used the vets best shampoo and spray . My poor cats eye swelled up and he couldn’t see for days. It cause my skin to get a rash . It’s too harsh and it don’t work at all.
No joke, the best flea control you can have is house spiders. Daddy long legs, common house spiders, jumping spiders, stuff like that. Baby jumping spiders are _hell_ on fleas in the house.
Seriously! I'm always careful to leave my little 8-legged friends' areas alone when vacuuming. My nieces were so freaked out when coming for a visit. They thought I was crazy for not sucking them up when I cleaned. They always say, "You're the ONLY girl we know that actually Likes spiders!" Unfortunately, their mom is a total wuss. 🤦🏼♀️
All cats are different! I have 3 and 1 wears a seresto and the other 2 get advantage and they’re all flea free. As a dog/cat groomer, I definitely recommend shopping around and figuring out which works for you!
Have you tried advtange treatment shampoo? I had 4 cats and recently brought in a stray she had fleas and ticks I gave her dawn baths but it's not working
I got my kitten and he had fleas I gave him a flea bath with Adams foam and was able to remove fleas and I put on the seresto collar and fast forward almost 4months later I see him scratch more than usually decided to give him a flea bathroom and there was more fleas then there was when I first got him so the collar did nothing in my eyes
I used a cheap Walmart brand & it literally burned my cat so bad, he developed a scab, I'm still apologizing but haven't been forgiven as of today, :o(
I also noticed one of the kittens had segments coming out of the Butt. So I went ahead and got any kinds of meds I can use once they put on more weight. They’re still under 2 pounds. I bought bayer tape worm dewormer, Drontal( for things like round worms), and Cheristin for fleas.. I also have food grade (has to be food grade) diatomaceous earth which can be used to kill worms from the inside. I don’t plan on using everything at once but I’ll be ready if needed.
Hi there, it sounds like you're well-prepared to get rid of any intestinal parasites. Since worms can be particularly dangerous for young kittens, I would also consider consulting with a veterinarian to identify the type of infestation and decide on the right next steps. Also, there's almost no evidence that diatomaceous earth is an effective dewormer. Here's an enlightening review of the studies done on DE as a dewormer: www.sheepandgoat.com/de Thanks again for commenting and I wish you and your kittens all the best! - Mallory
It would take a team of Navy Seals to give my cat a bath or spray anything on her. She got fleas and has NEVER been outside. I treated her and an outside cat with frontline plus. Guess it didn't work.
I was desperate last summer with my 2 rescue cats. 1 of them was pregnant and for some reason, fleas love her more and had to go to the dollar store and get whatever they had until I could order something better online. I got a cheap one, and my pregnant kitty ended up having a seizure. Thank god I was able to get her to the vet, and she did fine. She gave birth to 4 perfect kittens, but ill never buy cheap stuff again.
Which products did you compare these with if any?? You say they are the best options but nowhere do you mention what type of testing you did or how you came to these products. very generic information.
Hi Sandra, the products chosen here were selected after researching the market. We didn't perform any product testing for this review-we currently don't have the resources to test flea treatments safely-but these products compare favorably to others in terms of insecticide safety and reputation. You can learn more about our criteria here: www.wwwallaboutcats.com/best-flea-treatment-for-cats
A half a bottle of dawn platinum 4x. Wet cat ir kitten. Completely cover cat in dawn. Let it sit on for 5 minutes. The fleas will die and sh*t themselfs to death. This is what we do when we get a stray cat in. Works great! If there are still some left... Repeat once more and they should be completely gone. Also clean your entire house. 👌
This is no review. Review means u used them and help decide which one really works. You just blabbered about what each of these product marketing would claim.
Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that. That's the opposite of what we want for this channel, so I apologize for not meeting your (or my own) expectations. Flea treatments are tricky, since there aren't fleas in my area. You might appreciate the additional depth of our article on the subject: allaboutcats.com/best-flea-treatment-for-cats
Why would you put an affiliate link to Vet's Best Flea spray when you acknowledge that it is toxic to cats? It's a shame that the EPA allows it to be sold without a warning for cats but you are selling it on your cat channel. VIEWERS, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH on why peppermint oil is toxic to cats and don't buy the spray.
From my experience I had a full on infestation and I treated with Adam's carpet spray and sentry home spray and for my cats I went to the vet and bravecto killed all the fleas on them that I had been battling for months
I need some help I recently gotten the flea collar seresto and my cat is allergic to fleas as the doctor had said so we bought her this collar and I'm not sure if it's working beacuse she is still scratching her face and body she had also been having patches on her face before we gotten the collar but she still bleeds and scratches herself! Is it working and it's just a slow process or is it not working? I got the collar of Petco btw
Trifexis monthly on the dogs. Capstar combined with a bath(dawn dish soap) on dogs and cats. Heavy vacuum on the carpets then sprayed with the vets best.. was very effective.
I would not recommend capstar just because while it does kill off adult fleas temporarily I've found that its not long before they just come right back. I've done EVERYTHING from capstar to a flea bath to constant vacuuming after using flea powder stuff and steam cleaning yet tons just end up back on my cat and jumping all over my legs when I walk through the house eating me alive. Its driving me INSANE I hate even leaving my bedroom which now they've started popping up in too even though I don't even let my cat in there! Im going to try frontline like you suggested and I really hope to God it does something otherwise I have no idea what else to do.
Ok I heard on another channel that minimizing the humidity severely affects the fleas. So if your climate allows you to maintain less than 50% humidity for 4 or so days then maybe it will work? Aircon on dehumidifier mode? I live in the tropics so I really can't maintain low humidity for such prolonged periods. We have mosquitoes here and I do have personal experience that maintaining cooler temperatures using the Aircon does significantly reduce mosquitoes inside the house.
We started trying to get rid of our fleas with Advantag II..... it seemed like it was working for a couple weeks, then our cats were back to scratching. We then tried Frontline Plus for 4 months... same results but the vet told us to stick to it. The first 3 doses the cats seemed to be better for 2 or 3 weeks then back to scratching. The 4th dose, the cats never stopped scrating. During the spot on treatments, we swept the house and furniture every other day. Washed bedding weekly. I was spraying the inside of our home with Black Flag monthly. Vet then said our only options were RX spot on, or the Seresto collars. We have 8 cats so taking each one into the vet and getting an expensive spot on treatment every month that was not going to be realistic. We decided to try the collars and I'm very glad we did. Scratching has stopped. Our very "chonky" cat who was the main victim of the flea bites due to his... inability to clean a large area on his back, which is where there would be high concentrations of flea feces. We are now going on 4 weeks in with the Seresto collars and there are no flea feces on him. The last two weeks when I did a weekly flea combing I only found a couple very slow moving (dying) fleas. I'm hopeful now that the Seresto collar is going to be our white knight in our odd timed flea infestation. I am continuing to do monthly spraying of all floors and baseboards in the home as well as the furniture. Of course also continuing the vaccuuming every other day and paying extra attention to vaccuming off furniture the cats lay on as well as washing bedding weekly. One thing I will say, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A SERESTO COLLAR BUT ISN'T BRAND NAME. These collars do NOT have a generic and if you look on Amazon there's some knock off looking collars coming in round tins but if you look at the active ingredients in these NONE of the knock offs have a real insecticide, they're loaded with various essential oils. Real Seresto collars will have a Batch/Lot number on the cardboard box which will match the metal tin. The box will also have a serial number that matches a number inprinted on the collar itself. DEFINITELY check to make sure all the numbers match because there were a lot of fake collars circulating online shops. Also worth noting, if you get a two pack of the collars, both collars will have the same numbers. I had to order 4 of the 2 packs but you can bet each one was checked.
frontline and advantage do not work. (Here in Australia) The fleas have become immune, so it is a total waste of a lot of money. Comfortis is can have severe reactions in some cats. Borax sprinkled onto the carpets desiccates the fleas exoskeleton. Leave for a week. vacuum and repeat again. This has worked well. No repeats for 8 years.. . Also washing dog’s blankets and cat’s bed. Using a flea comb and checking twice a day. Easier with a helper , manageable alone.
Whatever you do, do not put any medicine labeled for dogs onto your cats. Just dont do it. No worse feeling than watching your babies die a horrible death.
My cat has fleas and they are in my house too. They were biting my feet and ankles and I had itchy bumps. I tried flea drops. Didn't work. I have been using the Adams Flea shampoo but I have to bathe my cat every 7 days. In between baths, when I brush his fur with a flea comb, he still has lots of fleas and flea dirt. The shampoo works great for killing the fleas when I bathe him but it certainly doesn't prevent the fleas from coming back for 28 days! It doesn't even prevent them for a week! I also put a flea collar on him which does absolutely nothing! My husband made a homemade flea trap using a shallow container of soapy water with a desk lamp shining over it. I have caught about 30 fleas using that so far. I also used the Raid flea spray and sprayed my entire carpet in my bedroom, around my bed frame and I also coated my bathroom floor and around the baseboards because I was seeing them in there too. I haven't treated any other rooms yet but I'm going to. The only product that got rid of the fleas on my cat was the oral pills. They work great but they are only effective for a couple of days. This isn't cost effective because there are only 6 pills in a box and they cost $30 a box. If I have to give my cat a pill everyday, that would cost about $150 a month! I can't afford that. I'm at my wits end with this problem!
You have to treat all rooms at the same time. You can't do one today and another tomorrow. Get the pets out of the house while you vacuum and steam clean and wash everything. OR I would clean the bathroom (mop floors and everything) then give them a bath and lock them in there while you take care of the rest of the house and then go back and mop the bathroom floor again. This is how you have to tackle this because otherwise they just move from one room to the other. I'd also throw the towels you dry the pets with in the washer and not leave them around the pets.
I'VE TRIED EM ALL AND THEY DON'T WORK WORTH SHIT,. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IS ALL YOU ARE GONNA WASTE. THE BEST THING I'VE FOUND WAS A LIGHT OVER A SHALLOW BOWL OF WATER. i put a little dish soap in it. TRY TO GIVE A CAT A BATH. LOL
Thank U,I cant use any harsh chemicals on my Cat,He has had Asthma All his life,For almost 15 yrs,He had a Massive cold when I got Him, At 3 months, He was Homeless during the winter at that time, So the Packaged Flea meds sets Him off N a bad Asthma Attacks, So bn Bathing him with Dawn Dish Soap,But the Fleas come back after a week or so.
missmaryanna25 Medications like frontline spread and disperse throughout the skin after a few hours. You apply it to an area where the cat can’t reach (back of the neck)
Hey I read in multiple articles that Pyrethrin is super bad for cats. It is ok for dogs but not cats. The Adams shampoo you showed has that in it. So are you 100% positive that that p-chemical is fine?
In appropriate doses, pyrethrins are safe for cats and are recommended for use on them. You can learn more about this here: www.atdove.org/article/pyrethrins-fact-or-fiction
With decades experience I've found the flee combs with handle inline with tines(?), only as wide as the comb part, the best. Handles like the one shown here get in the way when going between front legs in particular and are much more difficult to control when pulling hard thru thick fur, they twist to easily. Just my two cents but it makes big diff to ME.
Our last cat used to go out and we used to get a Seresto collar fitted every year on his annual check up. We never had a problem with any fleas at all. They aren’t cheap but they last a year and they do work.
I have a question if anyone would be kind enough to share their insight. I’m eyeing the adams shampoo and the frontline drops for preventative measures and was wondering if using both would be safe or should only one treatment be used and if so which one?
Hi! If you're using Frontline, your cat should be protected against fleas, and I don't think you should need the shampoo alongside it. I would recommend using the preventative treatment instead of the shampoo.
Hi Sheila, you can get all of the details here: www.boehringer-ingelheim.com.au/sites/au/files/animal_health_new_zealand/frontline_plus_for_cats_and_dogs_sds.pdf
Can someone tell me of there are any other critters that might not be killed by my spot on? ( its for fleas and ticks) I often see my cat flinch slightly like she's being bitten but it doesn't stop when I use the spot on. Does it loose effectiveness if not used correctly or every 3 weeks as advised? Any help appreciated, thanks all.
Im so sad I try to help an outdoor cat that the people across the st just leave outside all the time. I give him love and feed him cause he is outside of my house all the time. But...now my cat/ indoor cat got fleas from this cat. Ugh...Idk if cheristin or advantage works better? If anyone has tried those medications pls help cause i dont wanna spend my money on the wrong stuff! So far I have heard Cheristin or advantage or Fronltline... is best if no prescription.
I used the RAID for fleas and i totaly use it bad ( i regret) . I notice that the spry leaves white powder and was all over my sofa, chairs and pretty much all over. Be careful how to use it speacially if u have small kids.
Beyer Seresto collar (in my country sold as Foresto) bought for my adult cat to give an instant relief did nothing but burn the skin around the neck. Tried to return it but the answer was that my cat is allergic and it's not their fault
Hey Sara, yes! Thanks for mentioning Revolution. The biggest difference here is that Revolution protects against heartworm, while Frontline also defends your cat against a few other critters like ticks, lice and mites. Both are relatively safe and reliable and it's all about which insects concern you most.
@@AllAboutCatsYT Huh? Revolution Plus kills fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworm. Besides that, even though it doesn't say this on the package, it kills sarcoptic mange. My cat had both fleas and mange....and Revolution Plus got rid of both. I tried Advantage and Frontline before trying Revolution Plus....waiting a month between applying each so as not to overdose. Anyway, I'll always use Revolution Plus in the future. It does require a prescription from a vet, and it is pretty expensive, but bottom line- it works like a charm.
i had a really bad flea infestation with my 3 cats a couple months ago. i never want to go through that again. i was using frontline gold for a while but 6 doses went for about 110$. my vet reccomended it but split betwwn 3 cats this is only 2 months of protection. which isnt even enough for me to get out of a active infestation. even though the seresto collars seem to be on the pricier side i think itll pay off since they last 8 months, and id be spending around 175$ on chewy as opposed to 440$ with frontline gold for that same 8 month period. frontline plus is a little more forgiving at 72$ per six doses. so id be spending 288$ for an 8 month period. my math might be off a little bit but this may be something to consider if you come from a multicat household like i do!
Walmart in the pet section they sell a bottle called “Natural care, flea and tick “ home spry and be used on the pets as well besides your. Home. It’s made by the same company that makes “Vets best” the last spay bottle in the video Different names same product. They work, I end my flea infestation using it. It’s always 100% on them. Just follow the directions Frontline and Advantage are good from what I heard
I just used Frontline Plus on my 5 month old kitten who had just recently got fleas, we gotten a slight infestation around the place and I work for a Pest Control Company so I know one of the most IMPORTANT rules in getting rid of fleas in home is to VACUUM your home thoroughly every 1-2 days for about 2 weeks. I’ve noticed the fleas around the home have dramatically declined but i’m still seeing a couple on my kittens stomach area after 48 hours of dosage. so i’m not entirely sure if the Frontline is working just yet
First act for cats made by tevra does not work the topical it's terrible.I'm with you.I invited a feral who had kittens inside in March and out of the blue I noticed my indoor cat losing hair on her tail and scratching im so upset I wana cry but tommorow me and my husband are vacuuming our entire basement and washing each cat or going to try but we used first act for cats itsbterrible didn't make a dent all 4 cats have fleas are scratching and kittens have them.Im going to but something to spray on cement that exterminator said they will die immediately spray my entire basement and maybe ill give advantage a try or the pill for now just to get rid of them right away.im so distraught
Hey there E2 M5, Advecta does appear to be safe as long as you use a product made for cats and which is appropriate for your cat's weight. It contains pyriproxyfen and imidacloprid, both of which have strong reputations for safety when used as directed. Hope this was quick enough and helps you to make a decision!
@@e2m514 ...I have adopted a small adult female stray cat in my neighborhood. I bought Advecta, the one labeled for 5 to 9 pounds. I believe that this cat weighs approximately 7 to 8 pounds. They have one for over 9 pounds too. It seems to be working good, so far.
@@rebeccalavoy6655 yeah, ive used it on my cat everytime she picks up flees. Shes responded well to the treatment and no negative side effects. I recommend it to anyone looking for a safe flee treatment product for cats
I haven’t seen fleas on my cat but found tiny little black things where she was laying on the bed. She has been scratching but I still haven’t seen a flea moving on her.
Fipronil is the active ingredient in Frontline which also offer spray option (100 and 250 ml) for easier use, on cats and surroundings. They are not cheap. Fipronil is widely use on agricultural crops and even by pest controllers. Termidor SC extensively utilized by professional pest controllers for cockroaches, ants, termites, etc has about 9% of fipronil, the same level in Frontline.
