I tried it a few months back. I couldn't give it to Killy or any bitch I was planning on breeding because the warning says it hadn't been tested on breeding animals. The one I wanted it to work on has a flea allergy. If there is a flea within 100 miles it will find her and bite her ass. Well I gave her a dose and 12 hrs later she was vomiting. After the 4th time I called the 1-800 # and was told that in some dogs this was an adverse side effect and to give her another dose in a month. I didn't. I love that crazy bitch and won't take the chance of seeing her puke her guts out again. On the plus side, they did call me every 2 days after for a week to see how she was doing and followed up with my vet.

If I can find one of the many emails I've received about it, I'll send it to the list... in the meantime, get your brother some diatomaceous earth...if he puts it around his yard and even in the carpet, then after a day or two vacuums up what's inside the house, that will get rid of the fleas faster than anything else...the diatomaceous earth is cheap (not the food grade stuff) and can be dusted over the whole area..... if you get rain, do it again...a couple of times this summer ought to do it. for yards I've also used the bottles of Sevin that hook right on to the end of the garden hose...that works, too...
