HI

WE STOPPED USING THE FLEA CHEMICALS WHEN OUR BBY GOT A SEBACEOUS CYST RIGHT WHERE U PUT THAT STUFF ON THE NECK.
AND HAVE USED HERBS SINCE.
THERE IS FLEABANE FROM THE HERBALIST ..U CAN JUST DUST IT ON THEM OR ROLL UP A CLEAN HANKIE WITH SOME OF THE HERB, PUT IT AROUND THE NECK.
OR
U CAN WASH UR BBY WITH NEEM SHAMPOO
OR WASH WITH UR USUAL SHAMPOO OR THE DAWN THING
AND AFTER U RINSE UR BBY PUT A FINAL RINSE OF ROSEMARY.
THE RATIO IS 1/2 TEASPOON OF THE DRIED ROSEMARY HERB IN A CUP OF BOILING WATER AND LET IT SIT TILL COOLED ...STRAIN THE HERB OUT OF THE WATER
THEN POUR OVER THE BBY AND BLOW THE BBY DRY OR DRY NATURALLY..
SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED ..CROSS MY FINGERS FOR YEARS NOW.

FOR THE CARPETS AND SUCH WE SPRINKLE WITH BAKING SODA AND SEA SALTS LEAVE FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO AND VACUUM FOR THE WEEK DAILY AND U CAN SPRINKLE THE BAKING SODA DAILY AND IF U LIKE U CAN ADD SOME LAVENDER OR FRAGRANCE TO THE BAKING SODA

WE THINK THE CYST ON THE NECK CAME FROM THE STUFF ON THE NECK OVER THE YEARS, AS IT DOES GET INTO THE OIL GLANDS...IT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CLOGGING..WE GOT RID OF THE CYST WITH ACV VINEGAR COMPRESSES ..READ THAT AT AN ACNE SITE WAS WELL WORTH THE TRY AND WITH GOOD RESULTS TOO ..NO SCARRING ON THE SKIN

HOPE U CAN GET SOME INSIGHT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE FLEAS.

HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE AVON SKIN SO SOFT SEEMS TO KEEP THE FLEAS OFF..NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ONE..
