Sorry for late replied. I more scare to die, at least one day for me.

I using earthbath shampoo, this was mentioned ;
How soon after or before applying a topical flea application such as The Advantage, etc. should I wait to bathe my dog?
We have been advised by the manufacturers of these applications that dogs should not be bathed 48 hours before or 48 hours after applying the topical flea applications.

Bro, I keep doggy but I use Revo on my cats ... was told few hours after applying as long as the part of the cat's body that I apply the Revo on is totally dry.

I was also advised by a few top breeders/groomers to wait a few days.
Seeing no harm heeding the advise from experts, I'll wait at least 3 days before giving them a bath if there's a need to.

i applied on the back collar of the dog on a monthly basis... normally 1 day after he showered.

I think you can use diatamaceous earth(Food Grade). It helps to remove ticks/flea by powdering it.

Think the cheapest will be from Singpet

My old ladies are old.... body can't take the stress.

Fleas = cats
Ticks = dogs
