As far as chemicals, when I saw the first flea I didn't care what kind of chemical had to be used outside, I wanted them gone. My husband attained something as he has his commercial chemical applicators license. Unfortunately for all of us the stuff that works and the stuff they do not get immune to has been taken off the market. Diazinon was used for years, that stuff works great and in most cases you would only have to treat a couple times a year at most. However enter in our over zealous government and it is banned except for certain uses, we can thank the big EPA movement that Clinton introduced for that. |
Did you know that you are not supposed to apply the topical flea medications for 3 days after a bath? They won't work if you apply any sooner. It has something to do with their having to mix with the oils in the skin to absorb properly.
I know I applied the product that I usually use too soon once and it did not work at all. I don't have the insert here right now but I think you can apply 3 days before a bath or three days after for the topical to work properly.
