MalteseLuna Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We recently moved into a new house :D however within 3 hrs of being in the new house Luna was covered in fleas. Apparently the new area has very sandy soil and fleas love to live in it. We are nearing the tail end of flea season but poor Luna really needs some help! The local vet suggested I put her on comfortis which I am fine with but then said I would need to give her the heartworm injection (which I don't wish to do) - can I combine comfortis with Sentinal spectrum, advantage/advantix, frontline etc to help control worms, heartworm, ticks and fleas? The main issue seems to be that each time Luna goes into the new yard (lovely and grassy) she comes back with a new load of fleas. We don't have much furniture in the house yet - mainly boxes so I haven't done much in the house yet. I treated the back yard with pyrethrin but the fleas still seem to be hopping/alive. I haven't treated indoors yet - I have some bombs but need to organise to move the cat and dog out of the house to do the bombs. Does anyone have some tips for treating the house and yard and helping to keep Luna parasite free? I really want to know what I can combine with comfortis to keep all the other parasites controlled as well. Kylie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We live in a sandy desert- rabbits abounding..and everything is full of 'stickfast' fleas. All I do is use permoxin on dogs when fleas are active .. fleabomb the house every so often during Summer , and we all survive The indoor cats haven't had a flea for years! I don't treat them with anything (oh, and indoor dogs which have contact with cats have ADVANTAGE applied during Summer a couple of times.) I am not in favour of spraying insecticide liberally outdoors- it kills EVERYTHING - worms/butterflies/crickets.... and the birds etc which feed on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalteseLuna Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Can I use Comfortis with Sentinel Spectrum or/and Frontline to control all the parasites - fleas, worms, heartworms and ticks? Alternatively I've been told I can use Interceptor with Comfortis (fleas, worms, heartworm... no ticks)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
