Sooooo....washed the dogs (they're all soft and fluffy and smell so good now)....and then tried a new flea drop on the cats. I had been using Frontline, but really didn't like the idea of putting strong poison right on the animals. Since only one goes outside, they're really only picking up a stray flea that someone else brings inside. Anyway...I tried a new, natural product that has peppermint oil, clove oil and lemongrass oil. I know those are all things insects hate so I'm hoping it works. The funny part though...all evening and still this morning, it's like having 4 furry air fresheners running around the house. They smell so goooooooood! |
let us know if it works...i give Ivan the Terrier a brewer's yeast and garlic supplement with every meal...also he wears a Hartz flea collar- i know they are dangerous but he's been wearing them off and on for 16 years lol
we had a really bad tick infestation in January (during a no flea collar period) i was told frontline would kill them and they would just drop off within 24-48 hours but that was soooooo not the case. Baths, sprays, carpet powder, bombings- they held on till we went to the hartz collar and garlic routine
