This year I also used Little City Dogs Nytenpyram (generic Capstar) in conjunction with Flea traps. Usually Advantage does fine. I tried multiple topicals, and this year, NOTHING worked. I did have to use it more than once, and used the dog size mixed into food for 6-8 cats, divided between them.

For the fleas:
I like Virbac's Knockout spray (give it about 30 minutes to dry before kitties walk across and ventilate, of course). It can be used on all fabrics (curtains, bedding). It kills all stages up to 6 months. Cheapers (a bit) on Amazon (so use Smile.Amazon to support your 501c3 of choice!).
Also, to everyone who deals with fleas … and has multiple pets (or if you're running a shelter and need larger quantity): I HIGHLY RECOMMEND (safe, kosher, made fresh in NY by family who cares … and flavored to mix in food) … www.littlecitydogs.com Ms. King can answer questions and you can tell her I sent you. I LOVE to spread this word, once I learned of her products in the flea (tapeworm/heartworm) battle. Because her Capstar EQUIVALENT (instead of $45 for 6 which … if you have six cats is only ONE day of treatment for ADULT BITING stage fleas) … is AS EFFECTIVE flavored and SO MUCH CHEAPER.
I fully trust this product after research/experience - and the family who makes it. I hope it helps all of you/shelters to save money. There is also an ingestible once-a-month flea treatment if you're caring for feral colonies, etc. And I am loving my new $4 Oster Flea comb from Amazon to get "flea dust" by another means …
