Advantage is an excellent flea control application. It does exactly what it promotes. It eliminates nearly all of the fleas within twelve hours and it eliminates all of the fleas within a day. It will protect your dog for a minimum of a month after that from fleas.

You need to dig slightly further to discover that Advantage will not protect your dog from ticks. Ticks will not be deterred from gnawing on your dog as the active compounds in Advantage are only to deter fleas.

If you are looking to kill existing fleas and ticks consider purchasing Advantix as an alternative. Just keep in mind that Advantix is for dogs only. The active element in Advantix is a pesticide and it is not to be used on any cats even if it weighs the same as a small dog.

The active ingredient that is present in Advantix is known as permethrin. The permethrin will not only stop fleas and ticks but it will also eliminate and repel other pest infestations in your yard as well. Mosquitoes in addition to chewing lice and biting flies will cease to find your dog a favorable place to label home.

Mosquitoes are turning into an even bigger problem recently with West Nile virus. Advantix will prevent and eliminate any mosquitoes. Biting flies will be prevented from ending up on your pet and chewing lice will be slain but not averted.

Think about comparing Advantix vs Frontline flea treatments as well. You have several choices when it comes to flea and tick prevention. Check out every one of your options.
