We live out in the country, up on a hill, where there is no standing water, and always a breeze, which is probably why we are not bothered by mosquitoes.
I have weiner roasts and we sit out and visit way past dark and no one is bothered by mosqitoes.
However I am going to do more research on which is the best way to go. I know there is a risk, as there is a risk with anything, coyotes, halks, owls etc. But there are also the dangers of cancer from repeated exposer to pesticides.
I don't use flea preventers unless I see a flea, and most years I never see one, if I do, I treat one time, unless a second dose is warranted. |
Jeanie I don't really do flea prevention per say. I've only had a couple. Only because I was set up at a show next to some working dog. And her dogs had them....she was using the blow dryer and guess what? They blew onto my dog. Went by the grocery store on the way back to the hotel. Picked up Dawn Orignal Formula. Bathed him in that....it was done.
I did have to deworm my group once, when I brought home a girl that had them. Even the pups at 6 weeks of age. Using NemexII. I didn't as a preventative. NemexII is very mild, no cramping, no nothing. But, again I don't do it as a preventative. I only take in a sample of the entire litter, to ease the minds of my potential families. But, have never had any litters test positive.
