For my 8 month old babies, I use Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears & Pantene conditioner. I blow dry them with a brush and the dryer help me see the critters as it parts the hair. Then I pluck them out and drown them in rubbing alcohol!
Since I bathe them once a week, I hardly ever have fleas on my girls.
My 10 year old get's the baby shampoo on her head, and Pantene for the body + the conditioner.
I found this and I'm planning on buying the Lavender extract, mixing it in water & spritzing it on the girls to see if it helps.
"Fleas detest the scent of lavender, mint, rosemary, sweet woodruff and cedar: use sachets of these fragrances between couch cushions or mix extract with water and spritz a fine mist to use as a repelant.
Pet baths. Bathe pets with gentle herbal shampoos. Pesticide shampoos are overkill, since simple soap and water will kill fleas if the soap is left on for about 5-8 minutes." |
