I never had a problem with fleas up until last year..I was using a concoction of essential oils mixed with water...I wouldn't spray directly on them...sprayed a rag and wiped them down,,,I would soak their harnesses in it, let it dry then put it on them. this seemed to work .....my neighbor had a yorkie that was outside a lot...he had a real problem with fleas...he took him over here one day to play...( i wasnt' real thrilled about this either!) well low and behold,,..one of those little buggers must have jumped off and onto one of my dogs! (I have 3) I could NOT get rid of them!! I am one that likes to treat holistically if possible...I had to finally give in and use a topical treatment....wasn't happy about this either,,,my vet uses parastar. I used it on them twice and never had a problem with them since. I have them on sentinel for heartworm and that is supposed to help with fleas...haven't had a problem..
