“I have 2 cats both have always used Hartz colars and it worked 
but the collars are now different and now both cats have fleas and I was wondering if their sleeping spots and maybe our carpet has eggs is it worth getting front line plus. or am I looking at an infestation?

“Hi Linda,
You should start to use something or else the flea numbers will build up quickly and then they will be a lot more difficult to clear up. I’d recommend using one of the better topical flea treatments such as as Advantage, Frontline Plus or Revolution. I have had a number of customers who tell me that they are finding that Frontline Plus is not working as well as it once was.
