| oh i am sorry you are having such a difficult time with those nasty critters. have you ever heard of diatomaceous earth? ( the food grade only ) it works great at eliminating fleas and many other insects as well. you can buy the duster to treat your home with the de. it has a drying effect on skin so you do not want you or your pets to inhale it. you can read all about it on the website... http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/bu...ous_earth.html http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/de_dusters.html Last edited by MY OSCAR; 09-03-2012 at 07:40 AM. |

| I just received a Ceasar's Way magazine for October, 2012 and in it is an article on "Pantry Raid Grooming". One of the points listed is using Listerine for fleas, yeasty or oily skil and helps remove fungus. Fill a spray bottle with one part Listerine (original formula) and one part water. After bathing your puppy spray the solution on the coat (avoid the eyes) and let is soak for five minutes and rinse. You need to comb the fur to remove the dead fleas. You can spray the solution on any surface such as beds, toys and carpet. I don't know if this will work but I had never heard of lusing Listerine before. It's in the October, 2012 issue of this magazine.
