Default Flea collar question...

Hey folks,
Can someone recommend a good flea collar that won't make me gag being in
the same room with it?
Thanks.

If a flea collar makes YOU gag, can you imagine what it does to the
dogs who have to wear one?

Forget a flea collar. If you need a flea product, Frontline or
Advantage or such, is a much better option.

I don't use any flea products on my dogs. Well fed, clean and kept
cool most of the time, they don't have flea problems.

No matter what we did, if you live in an area where fleas are every where,
they'll find a dog/cat. We had two indoor only cats in Florida, and they
got fleas every so often. This was over 10 years ago... `don't remember if
Advantage or Frontline was available back then, but we never, never, ever
used flea collars. We boarded the cats for a weekend and did flea bombs.

At least it's not a problem anymore for the indoor kitties now that we're in
upstate NY. (One good thing about moving... and only one!!)

They may fnd them, but may not bite or infest them. Some beings are
more attractive to biting bugs than others. I'm one of them
unfortunately - anyone not wanting mosquito bites merely has to hang
out with me - I'm a magnet!

Of course we have fleas in MD. My dogs don't have any, nor do my
cats.

at least SOME of them die over the winter, but I've seen tics and
mosquitos in January here in the mid-atlantic. They get hardier every
year - maybe they wear teeny down coats.
