Hey everybody, go to Lowes or anywhere that they sell pesticides(i buy it at Lowes) it's in the garden section and it's in a blue quart plastic bottle labeled Bayer.....just like the aspirin company.....advanced 12month tree and shrub insect control concentrate.....turn the bottle to the back side and it should say active ingredient....Imidacloprid 1.47%.. this is the exact same chemical as admire but it is more dilute so we have to put more on the dog. I have been using it for over a year now on my ten hounds and several friends dogs plus a billy goat. This is also the same chemical the vet sales trade name advantage...but it is more dilute than it but way much cheaper. A quart of this here in Alabama cost eighteen bucks and on average you can treat around sixty dogs with the quart. I put fifteen mililitres....15ml on all dogs from 40 to 65 lbs.... 20 ml on 65 to 90 lbs and 25 ml on a dog over 90 lbs. Put it on every dog that you own inside and outside every month. You won't have to spray anything because each dog will become a flea killing machine....Within 24 hours after treating the dog any flea that bites the dog for a month or more will die within a few minutes.....as more eggs hatch and fleas are born they will bite the dog and be dead quick. I have seen massive infestations irradicated by one dog being treated and every flea in their house and outside was dead in four days.
Buy this stuff and a 30 ml syringe.... if the dog will lay down squirt it on their bellies and rub it in all over the bellie and chest. I f the dog won't lay down just start at the base of the tail and applie a strip from there up to their neck and rub it in. The idea is to get as much on their skin as possible because it is absorbed into their bloodstream and within 24 hours it is circulating throughout their body for at least a month. There will be a dry streak down their back when it drys and the next day if you don't like seeing that then take a spray bottle of water and dampen the streak and rub it in....then even more of the chemical will now get in their bloodstream but it really won't matter cause the fleas are in trouble either way. Try not to bathe the dogs a few days before and a few days after putting this on them.
This stuff has shown amazing results here for i have never been flea free this long........over a year..... I have fought fleas all my life untill i found this stuff....i mean i dont have a one here.....good luck and i hope it works as good for y'all as it has for me.....FullCry
Everytime I go to a vets office, it is the same old story. The man has a coonhound and therefore he is an ingnorant hillbilly. The last time some AR rights chick tried to kick me out into a thunderstorm and she did not work there. Patch just wanted to chew on her rescued cat. LOL
The other thing is that the vet is always trying to sell overpriced meds. I had a problem with a tick introduced infection and this post has been most helpful. Not surprising that Bayer is the manufacturer of Advantage. Bayer is one of the biggest producers of pharmacueticals and chemicals in the world. I checked into the issue of ticks and found that Bayers' Advantix (ticks, fleas, and mosquitos) is a mix of imidacloprid and permethrin. Permethrin is readily availiable and inexpensive as well. THE ONLY THING IN REGARD TO PUTTING THIS MIXTURE ON YOUR HOUNDS IS THE DOSAGE. These are poisons, and too much of good thing if you overdose. Does anyone have a gander on how much permethrin you can get away with?

That was a waste of about 70 bucks.
