A friend of mine that rescues Aussies sent this to me... I wonder if it would be good for our yorkies?? Anyone using this??
I haven't used a chemical flea/trick product on any of my dogs (including my fosters) for well over a year now. The answer? GARLIC!!!! I buy mine from Springtime Inc. About $14 plus shipping and it lasts for at least two months (that's 4 (yes, FOUR) 50-lb dogs getting a teaspoon a day). If you buy their "buy two get one free" offer, you get three jars for 29.00 plus shipping.
Plain and simple I don't have fleas and when my last two fosters came in literally covered in ticks. They started falling off w/in a day of my adding garlic to their food. I feed them the recommended dosage.
Oh, and I don't spray my yard w/ any flea products either.
Springtime's website is:

I have used it in my cooking when I've run out of the fresh stuff.
I didn't like the thought of applying something to my dog that you had to treat like toxic waste. If it's that toxic, I don't want any part of it.
