I'm glad you posted this sillylupie

actually i was thinking of getting Hartz 4-in-1 (as recommended somewhere in this forum) for treating the perimeter of my house (outside) as well as inside. I have been feeding some strays lately just in my backyard and front porch and i want to take precaution against fleas/mites/ticks. i thought of using it to spray on the floor surfaces of my house as well as the ground outside - not on my cats - but after reading the articles - i'm certain i won't ever use hartz products as it is not safe to be used even if it's for treating ground.

i'll definitely stick to advantage and frontline under my vet's supervision unless they advise otherwise.

but thanks for this article - to me, it's timely!
