Indorex is the best thing I've used. Not had any repeat problems.

I've got Wordy and Ollie and Advantage and Advocate for Poppy and Charlie, the 'cheaper' supermarket products are false economy.

They are little black bugs about 3mm long that jump.

The eggs look like tiny white balls.

the sprays and stuff you buy from the supermarket just don't do anything, you are better off getting the good stuff and you will only need to spray once

Thanks. Its just annoying as its been 2 weeks and while amount of fleas has reduced, the cats leave eggs everywhere they sit.

It does seem that, in some areas, resistance has developed to Frontline. I would recommend that you switch to something else for future use but don't know what you can use now, having already treated with Frontline.

I'm sure someone will be along to help soon  :)
