Neither Frontline or Advantage has worked for me this year. Just vacuuming &
flea combing :(

Frontline has never worked for me, not in FL, not in SC. I use Advantage and
Capstar. Outdoors the cats have a better chance. Fleas don't stay on an animal
(or person), so outside they drop off and the host moves away. Inside, the flea
can re-infest the same poor cat (or dog) over and over.
