Okay I have got an issue and need help! I noticed Presley & Holly scratching, at first I didn't think much of it, it has turned cold and I keep clothes on them, so I thought maybe it was the clothes...but noooo..its fleas!! I have Mosquito Magician which is wonderful for fleas through the irrigation system, well it's winter and our irrigation system is winterized and shut down, my husband has his commercial pesticide license and is going tomorrow to get the strongest stuff to spray the yard -so yard will be taken care of. I have cleaned myself into a frenzy today, hardwood, carpeting and tile, moved furniture, vacuuming EVERYTHING and everywhere. Washed rugs, blankets, bedding etc. I bathed them both in dawn dishwashing liquid and got 4-5 fleas off each of them, but when blow drying Presley I found two more alive
I JUST put Frontline Plus on them December 28th. I've never had this problem and am at a loss as to what I can do and where the heck they are coming from!!! We have had below freezing temps here at night for the past week! Shouldn't they be dead or whatever happens to them in the winter??
I am in South Carolina, we personally did not flood back in October and even more recently (not near as bad as Oct. flooding) but the flood waters were all around us a and we did have standing water in our yard for awhile. It has been extremely wet and hot up until the last week and a half. We were 80 plus all through Christmas season. Since our scare with the hawk and owl I don't let Presley or Holly out, we have switched to the potty pads inside, they do go with me quite a bit so I dunno where these fleas are coming from!
My question is that it has been only a couple of weeks since I put Front Line on them, would it not be dangerous to give them another flea treatment?? I am going to call the vet tomorrow for their opinion, but I would love to hear some experience with this and any other suggestions for these dang fleas
