It is the same ingredient exactly as Advantage but a dilute. Quite safe and does the job...........and a litre bottle is 12.95. Will treat 10-15 dogs every 3 weeks for over a year! Since many of you have asked about the product, it is made by Control Solutions Inc and is called Martin's "Dominion Tree and Shrub" Here is a well priced link to find it......notice it under Pet supplies so many people are using it for this. A lot of feed stores also carry it. _http://www.opentip.com/Pet-Supplies/Control-Solutions-Inc-Dominion-Tree-Shr ub-Quart-p-1228665.html_ (http://www.opentip.com/Pet-Supplies/Control-Solutions-Inc-Dominion-Tree-Shrub-Quart-p-1228665.html) This site has it for 7.20 but there is a 4.50 shipping charge. Still under 12.00. My 12.95 was from my feed store. You do use it a little bit different from your typical spot on. On an average sized dog I use about 6 ml. Put at the top of the wither, center back, top of tail and save some to rub into the tips of the ears. A smaller bitch, I would use 5 ml, large male 7 ml. Because it is a dilute, it is safe to use and on a vets advice, most effective every 3 weeks, but at this price, certainly not a problem. Have used it now for over 6 months with great results, and no reactions whatsoever.
