I used Dr. Mercola's Natural Flea and Tick Defense spray (lemon grass oil, cinnamon oil, sesame oil, castor oil - be sure NOT to get into eyes!) on my very allergic bichon and my yorkie who has CT (need to limit fragrances) and a mature poodle with really good results.
For the yard I found "Mosquito Barrier" very good in killing all those darn bugs.
We feed them a raw diet which helps, too! |
