Default Frontline better than Sergeants?

I still have some left over Sergeants anti-flea products and I would like to
know if it is as sufficent defense as Frontline.

Thanks,
David Lee

P.S. I also use CAPSTAR.

Just M.O., but no, it's not even comparable to Frontline. It's an
entirely different product, using
an entirely different chemical. Some Sergeant's cat products used to
be on the list of products
containing organophosphates, which are deadly to some cats. (I'm not
sure if the formula
is the same as then) Most over-the-counter products (Hartz, Sergeants)
are quite toxic, and not nearly as safe as Frontline.

No, it's not as effective or as safe. Stick with Advantage or Frontline.

I hope you are not serious. Do NOT ever use Capstar on cats.
Sergeant's is toxic crap - buy some Advantage or Frontline.
