Well now...I am off the beaten path up here and don't often get to see drug reps, so this one has slipped past me! :???: Imidacloprid is bar none the best flea control available(the drug formerly in Advantage), and Moxidectin is an avermectin just like ivermectin. I would have to say I would expect this would be a very effective product, though I will bet a pricey one.

at the website listed its like 72/73 dollars for the 6 month supply.
I guess its a little more than the competition, but if one lumps in the worming capabilities.....
Thanks for your input!

Called Bayer and checked on this product. It is only available in Australia, and is currently illegal(not USDA approved) in the states.
