I still have not seen a crawly. I would be able to see them wouldn't I? I know they are very small, but I thought they were visible. Maybe I just have a very light infestation (so far), or maybe the spots I have seen on the fur aren't nits after all? I think I'm going to hold off on doing anything until I either see a crawly or I see more of the spots on the fur. No sense in messing around if there isn't a problem, but I'm still researching so I'll be ready.

I want to be sure I've got the right thing in mind when you are talking about no pest strips. These things, right?

I like the review where the guy says he rubs it on his boot laces and it is pretty effective as a repellent for his whole body.

I also found an in depth description of how one person used ivermectin topically with more success than using it orally, and it sounds safer that way too. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
