I can't find Flea n Tick B Gone in the Temple area. Is this the same product manufactured by IPM Products?

Looking at the http://www.ipmproducts.com link, the picture of the product appears identical to the product I'm holding.

Thanks for the info.. I noticed you had used the Espree Citrus product. With that product, have you had you had much success with it? I ordered some stuff from them this morning...a puppy and kitty shampoo and also a repellant.

I tried boiling orange peels and either I didn't boil enough or I didn't do it right, but it just didn't seem to have any effect on the fleas on my cat(indoor). I'm hoping the Espree shampoo will help.

Thanks again.

I have used (and continue to use) the Espree Citrusil shampoo and Citrusil conditioning spray products on our She-Boxer. We like the looks and feel of her coat after using the products.

As far as success, if you are referring to flea killing, the Espree products work just fine. However, keep in mind soapy water is very effective at killing fleas.

Thanks for your quick reply. Can I assume just any type soap...hand soap/liquid soap?

Yes, any soapy solution will kill them. During the summer months when we were battling an infestation, we would mix a small bowl of soapy water (just a few drops of dish soap) and sit in the floor with her and the flea comb. The fleas died almost instantly. I wouldn't shampoo our girl with that as it would likely strip the oils from her coat and skin, but it was fine for a flea killing. :lol:

I'm sure you and your companions will be very happy with the Espree products. If you can get the Flea 'n Tick B Gone product, I spray a ring around the neck area to prevent any "retreats".

Good luck to you, and don't forget to let us know how things work out for you.
