I thought it was very good, too. I liked the chart, it even had Avon-Skin-So-Soft! I have used it for repelling mosquitos, luckily we seem to be flea free where I live. Those damn cat fleas, though, if there are feral populations I can see how this could be a problem.

I didn't realize that about the cat fleas until I read the article.  I moved into my house 8 yrs ago this coming June--I built the house and the property was previously a big pasture.  I had fleas here bad.  I did the advantage thing on the dogs and my one cat.  After that first summer and applying the advantage every 30 days, I never saw anymore.  My front yard isn't fenced so the dogs rarely go out there but the cat was indoor/outdoor so I periodically put it on him.  Now he is gone--died before Christmas at 17 1/2--and I have noticed since I did the advantage I have never seen fleas on my dogs again.  Usually when it first starts getting warm I will find a tick on them.  I get bio-spot and that generally takes care of the problem.  I live right on the edge of town and there are feral cats out here--if I start seeing fleas again I am going to use some kind of chemical and just do the front yard.
