The EPA is currently investigating more than 44,000 potential incidents associated with registered spot-on flea control products, and is considering the need for further restrictions. Adverse reactions reported from the spot-on products range from skin irritation to seizures and in some cases death. For Other Living Things recommends that spot-on flea control treatments, such as Advantage, should only be used to combat a difficult flea infestation, and not as routine maintenance. Please follow manufacturers instructions carefully, and monitor your pet closely after application. Most spot on flea control treatments are generally considered safe by the veterinary community, however, there are many people with concerns about the safety of exposure to their pets, themselves, and the water system and wildlife as these products wash off.
