I just addressed this issue and omg'sh did I have a time w/it! I was trying to go all natural, but the fleas won out, and I, finally, had to use frontline plus, and have to admit that was the best solution, for us...Because Apple is just over 4 lbs., I first tried 1/2 the dose twice a month, and it didn't work, then I tried other "natural" remedies, and that didn't work...I decided to hold my breath and use a whole dose, along w/sprinkling borax on all the carpets in the bedrooms and hall...Success!!! And the main thing, is Apple did fine w/the whole dose (it's dispensed for dogs 0-22 lbs.) Fortunately, I just had laminate installed in the living room/dining room and there's tile in the kitchen, entry hall, bathrooms, so I didn't have to worry about Apple on the carpets...I used to use borax on all the carpets w/o worrying about the pets being on them, but it seems that some here say it's not good for these little ones, and I tend to agree w/them now..They say to put it down for 24 hrs., then vacuum it up...Getting rid of fleas is a "mission", to be sure, and like quick-silver said, the sooner the better...Be vigilent, and you'll win over those horrible little beasts.... |
