$50 is inexpensive?  That's what it cost me for a pack of 6 tablets and that
didn't help with the fleas on my dogs.  I think it actually made the beagle
start to scratch and chew her hind end more.  Here in Columbus we had a very
bad flea problem all summer.  At least now with the cold weather it's died
down some now.  Now to finish cleaning out the house and doing a smoker for
the ones left in the house.
