How common are stick tight fleas on dogs and cats? I ask because one year I noticed that one of the feral cats had a few on her ears.

I tried it once on one with stick tight fleas and it was not effective.if it will kill those fleas.
It does work, but I found it works best to apply a 0.5% dilution directly to the fleas. It kills them instantly and almost all will fall off in 24-72 hours. Those that don't fall of can be scraped off with your fingernail.Does the permethrin work? Seems like it should do fine.
Why? I am a veterinarian and I will do it if necessary.Good to know. I was doubtful, but hate to see people using topicals suitable for dogs on their chickens!
These little fleas are disgusting! Does the permethrin work? Seems like it should do fine.

Did you all know that imidacloprid, the active ingredient in Advantage for cats, is approved for the treatment of darkling beetles in poultry houses?
