Unable to eliminate flea infestation despite multiple treatments; inside cat suffers from allergic dermatitis and meds are ineffective.

Existing solutions either control population temporarily (sprays, traps) or are ineffective on the allergic cat (BRAVECTO), and fumigation is impractical due to exotic pets.
