My indoors-only cats became infested by my bringing the fleas in from the garden, where many strays wander through. One flea can jump 6 feet, and they are heat-seeking missiles.My first line of counterattack was to use Zodiac's spot-on product, along with Capstar (an oral medication that only kills adult fleas). I suspect this combo could be very effective for someone who has just one cat, since the cat can't reach the place between his own shoulder blades where the spot-on goes. But two cats (or more) can work hard at grooming the stuff off of each other.So once the 30 days were up for the spot-on stuff to wear off, I tried these collars. By the way, Zodiac has a nice customer questions email. That's how I found out you can only use either the spot-on or the collar, but not both together.Well, Mr. Licky couldn't lick the collar off of his sister, so it didn't take long for all the fleas to be defeated.Unfortunately, I have to take off one star because one of my cats is allergic to the collar. After a couple of weeks, the allergic cat started having sores on her neck and face. It was nothing like the huge gashes that the far more expensive Bayer Seresto collar gave her some years ago, but it was still ugly. So of course I immediately removed the collar. But it had already killed the fleas. And her sores are healing up fast.I think if another infestation happens, I'll still use this collar, on the non-allergic cat only. I'm still looking for solutions for the other one.
