   $50 is inexpensive?  That's what it cost me for a pack of 6 tablets and that   
   didn't help with the fleas on my dogs.  I think it actually made the beagle   
   start to scratch and chew her hind end more.  Here in Columbus we had a very   
   bad flea problem all summer.  At least now with the cold weather it's died   
   down some now.  Now to finish cleaning out the house and doing a smoker for   
   the ones left in the house.
