Those bothersome fleas...

Tuesday April 27, 2004
SARAHANDCADET asks: "Well it's that time of year again, and I guess the fleas are out in full force. So I went out and bought flea shampoo, flea drops, and a flea collar. Now once a week he gets a flea bath, I bought another flea collar for the vacuum, and I even purchased some spray that kills the fleas within 10 minutes of spraying it on him. I guess what I am asking is, does the flea collar really work? How about those drops you put on them, how are they going to protect him? I am new with all this bug stuff, and I don't want to have to deal with them forever, so any advice will be greatly appreciated."

I was wondering if generic flea collars really work the same as the brand name ones? I read the ingredients in the store and they had the exact same % of active ingredients so I bought the cheap one! Do you need more to go with the collars?
