I have not bought this stuff in about 15 years.  I no longer have any 
animals that are prone to fleas.  I just have a horse and a pig which are 
not affected by fleas. I used it when we had several cats and a dog in the 
house.  It does work.  Try to keep it out of the animal's eyes.  The little 
bit you pick up in your eyes after application doesn't seem to have any 
effects, but I wouldn't want it dumped in my eyes.  I wonder if it would 
have any affect on flies if It was fed to the horses?
