Any chemical product can have side effects. I don't use anything for fleas. I must just be very lucky but then my dogs don't go out in the yard much. I have never let my husband use any chemicals on our back yard either. We do go camping often but haven't had problems yet. I think that if you brush and comb every day and bathe weekly you shouldn't have a problem. I have a real phobia about getting fleas as we had a huge problem years ago and it took literally several years to rid our house of them. (we had a cat at the time who went outside) |
