(More customer reviews)When Frontline Spray was first brought out several years ago it was the most expensive product of it's kind on the market (that I knew of). But that didn't matter. It worked and it worked extremely well. The smell was mild and acceptable and the liquid was long lasting- up to six weeks or more. The dogs and cats I used it on soon began to accept the occasional sprayings with gratitude. The fleas would fall off immediately onto their little backs- stone cold dead. The ticks would dry up and could be brushed off by the next day or so. Fantastic. Everyone was happy.
This was a product that although owned by a French company was manufactured in the U.S. and I presume France as well. But I seemed to get the U.S. product here in Texas.
After a couple of years, and a couple of price increases, I noticed that the strength of the product was noticebly weaker than the original version. It seems that it gets weaker with each subsequent bottle that I buy. And yes, even though the miracle active ingredient has been cut repeatedly the price keeps going up. Now the fleas, at least a few of them, still fall off while spraying; but now, the little fellers just roll over, dust themselves off and promptly jump right back on the dog or cat. The ticks eventually get sick of the stuff after a few days and walk off to who knows where. Days and weeks later there are still a few fresh fleas and ticks that show up and ride around for a few days until I do a mild touch -up with the weak spray. This is the result from the product that I get now that is labeled as being manufactured in France. Seems they may be a tad greedy and getting more so. That's the only way I can explain it. The active ingredient is Fipronil.
So, after years of wholeheartedly recommending the product, I'm back to recommending the strong and effective Adams Spray. It's far more cost effective. It's just that everyone involved hates the strong odor. But it works as well as it has for many years and the price won't bust your budget to the point where you have to be late on your next car payment just to get the danged fleas off your pet.
Another product I've recently found to be very effective and relatively inexpensive, but labor intensive (depending upon your particular pets), is Zodiac Flea and Tick Shampoo for Dogs and Cats. It's effectiveness seems to last well for three to four weeks. Its active ingredients are Piperonyl Butoxide Technical and Pyrethrins.
So, to sum up, the manufacturers of Frontline Spray have taken what was a wonderful product available at a high, but fair, price and tinkered with it until now it's a mediocre product with an outrageous price.
Just one poor old Texan's opinion,

Product Description:
Frontline Spray is convenient, highly effective and only needs to be sprayed once a month over the body to give your pet superior flea and tick protection. This is probably the best flea/tick spray available. It does not contain the potentially toxic insecticides found in most pet store sprays. A good choice for rapid activity in severe flea infestations. It's also good to have on hand if your pet is suddenly exposed to fleas, even when your pet is already on monthly flea control like Frontine topical or Advantage. The NEW large 500 mL bottle gives you twice as much as the old one and you save money as well!
