i dont know if i posted this here before but i have three beagles that live in the house and ticks/fleas can become a problem from the in/out to run in the feilds/woods
frontline plus is 9.8%fipronil and 8.8%methroprene.the meth is a IGR(inhibits growth regulator)and will help disrupt egg larvae from hatching.
i have found these products--the first is the fipronil at 9.1%--almost the same as what is in frontline
http://www.pestproductsonline.com/products/_20_oz-14-0.html
and i add to it this product
http://www.pestproductsonline.com/products/Precor_IGR_Concentrate-127-272.html
this methroprene is only about 1/7th as potent as whats in the frontline,but i use 1cc of each on a 20lb of body weight.been doing it this season and have enogh to dog my dogs for a long while to come.
for those that like k9 advantage/advantix the active ingredient in that is imacloprid and is 9.8%or close to that the last time i checked
i found this but it is 2 1/2 times stronger so i would just half dose it.

products like bio-spot/freedom 45 etc are Permethrin and they sell ya concentrations of 15-45%.you get six little vials for 12-18 bucks,well i found this---you get a whole quart for the price of a ounce of the same stuff packaged for dogs.
i research these products here before i use them.

my bottle of termidor and precor ran me about 75 bucks with shipping,and i have over 20 ounces of it compared to 80 bucks for 2 months of frontline for my three hounds.
no problems as well as no fleas/ticks
anyone else have any homemade remedies????
