I've heard of people using Diatomaceous Earth and some tea tree oils ... I've never tried DE, but some people HAVE had luck with it. I guess the tea tree oil would be more of a topical solution technically ... I think you can put DE into their water, and you can put it in and around your home too to ward off bugs. If anyone has any experience with those, please share!

I personally administer Sentinel to Nilla (it is a monthly pill) because I tried a couple of homeopathic sprays without much luck (I never tried to Diatomaceous Earth, but was always curious about it). Trifexis and Comfortis are also pills that will treat fleas, but I switched from Trifexis because a lot of people were running into problems with it. Good luck! <3
