Did a trial on Capstar and got VERY mixed results so i don't trust it. Ivomec is good though.

Someone on here suggested using capstar ground up into 20mls of water then skooshing the area with it, never used it myself so can't comment. But we can't get capstar anymore cos Novartis sold it to Johnstons and its now called 4Fleas(?I think)

Negasunt was great stuff. There was some talk about Rearguard being used for cats, though I don't think this was ever confirmed and certainly isn't on the data sheet.

The best product,used to be Negasunt powder (was not licensed for cats tho & is not made anymore!) - it would send the little blighters running like nothing else we have used! We still have a couple of bottles hidden away for emergency use!!
