      Be VERY cautious about using OTC products (I won’t allow my friends/family to use them). They have chemical with far more side effects (including death) than Advantage. Many OTC products use permethrin or their derivatives. The extra money is far worth it.

      We don’t have carpet either and we just had to bomb our house, parts

      of it twice. I have switched from the two big vet sold products,

      because I think that the fleas are developing immunities to them,

      they don’t work as well as they used to, at least not for me. I went

      to a local pet supply store and bought a spray there- sorry, I don’t

      have the name. It was about 8 bucks and works on dogs and cats. My

      point is to try something that isn’t being used by everyone else-

      kind of a surprise attack.
