If you are confused about flea control, let me come right out and say it – I don’t blame you. So much has been written and said about every flea product on the market and it has gotten to the point where no one knows exactly what each product does and if it really is the best solution in their specific situation. I created this flea product comparison chart to make it easier for you to determine which flea products are right for you. These are all over-the-counter products that are sold in grocery stores, pet supply stores etc. and I have included Amazon links next to every item on the list so you can take quick action once you know which flea product to get. If you visit the links, you will also find customer reviews of all the products mentioned here.
First off, here is a flea control product comparison chart I made for all you fellow dog owners out there. If you have cats, please see the second chart.

There is no best product here as it depends on what you are dealing with. I think it’s safe to say that fleas are a general problem, or else you wouldn’t have come to my website, but some areas have more problems with ticks than mosquitoes, so you should pick the product that best suits your needs.
The chart below compares flea control products for cats. Note that some products can be lethal for cats – never use medication for dogs on your cat.
