Has anyone used Ectoline flea treatment?

Options
When I was in my local pharmacy this morning I noticed they sell Ectoline flea and tick treatment as well as Frontline.


I've had a real battle with fleas lodging on the cats this year and was wondering if anyone had used Ectoline and whether it was effective?


(The problem is with the cats not with my carpets, furniture, their bedding etc. as when we have a flea infestation they always bite Hubby ;) and the cats spend most of their time in the kitchen these days. Flea spray is keeping the house clear.)

    Ectoline contains fripinol, the same as Frontline.

    Some people have reported that the fleas seem to be immune to Frontline now.

    Advantage and Program are flea treatments that contain different ingredients
