Our grandmother lives in the village of three cats. They lead a free life and walk wherever they want. Therefore pick up flea and ticks are not difficult for them. We decided to try the Bars spray for cats. Honestly, pleased with the price of the drug. Indeed, the processing of three animals with expensive means would cost "a pretty penny." Together with the granny, we dealt quickly. So that the cats did not lick the insecticide, they dressed them in collars. It has been 2 weeks, but insects and their bites were not noticed.

Julia, Novocherkassk

Our neighborhood is bordered by forest, which is very convenient. The only drawback is the ticks, which after the onset of heat do not allow my dog ​​to live peacefully. I bought Bars forte spray, as it lasts longer against ticks and fleas and does not need to be treated as often. Now we can safely walk in the forest.
