Pest Control Tips : How to Identify Fleas & Ticks
To identify fleas, look for a tiny, skinny insect that is less than a 16th of an inch. Ticks, on the other hand, have eight legs and can be almost a quarter-inch when fully engorged in blood. Look for fleas that are jumping, as opposed to ticks that rarely move, with help from a certified exterminator and arborist in this free video on pest control.

bio-spot flea/tick control?
Has anyone used Bio-Spot flea/tick control?
I asked my husband to pick up flea/tick drops for the puppy, and even though he knows i use strictly Frontline, he came home with this (if you want something done right…..). i used it 6 weeks ago for the first time (with reservations) and she was fine.
Last night i applied it again and she became VERY lethargic. tried to hide behind the couches. shaking while i held her. i rinsed her off and took her outside and within a few minutes she was back to normal. but why would it affect her like this? she’s bigger and i waited 6 weeks instead of 4. on the box it says for puppies, toys and minnies under 15 lbs. she’s a 7 mth old pup probably 12 lbs.
thank you olddoc- i knew HARTZ could be fatal. but i’ve never even heard of the others you listed. i’m going to check them out.
thanx becky- i wondered if it was the citrus odor too.
and i’ve always used frontline, but the rest are all big dogs.
Flea/tick Control Stories
There are just as many horror stories around about Biospot as there are Hartz:
Lethargy is one of the symptoms being reported.
Biospot is one of those cruddy ones you can get at pet stores. These kinds of products contain permethrin, or other organophosphates, because they’re not allowed to contain anything else or the 
stores wouldn’t be allowed to sell them. Organosphosphates are not appropriate for application to animals!!
