Flea control & prevention

I use Frontline myself. It works very well. I tried Bio Spot last season because it is significantly cheaper (1/3 of the price), however it simply didn't work. Frontline remains effective for at least 4 weeks while we would find a flea or two a couple days after using biospot.
We have various neighborhood dogs as well as the local wildlife that come through the yard so fleas is a constant problem. Since I graze my tortoise outside I am limited as to what I can do to the yard.

We used to sell that crap at the store where I worked. A good majority of it was returned for being ineffective. There was even a special shampoo you had to buy if you were going to wash your dog so that it wouldn't affect the BioSpot's effectiveness. I never heard anything good about it, so I doubt that worked.

I tried that "Advantage" one year too, and that didn't work very well either. I won't use anything but Frontline now.
