| Help!!! My house has been infested. Hercules doesn't go outside unless he is in my purse or my arms and we have fleas bad! I have a 12yo keeshound that does go out, and she has been with us since she was a puppy and she has never had a flea problem. The vet says that Hercules is too small for flea meds and I can't get rid of them. I have used Borax on the carpets and furniture and in the car, and I did put a flea collar on him and I've washed him with Dawn a lot. I don't want him to get sick from the bites and I know he is uncomfortable, because I am. Not to mention that my niece today had fleas on her socks and when I sucked them off with the vacuum I saw flea bites all over her ankles. I have never seen a flea infestation so bad. This has gotten bad and I don't know what to do.

| The best thing you can do is call an exterminator. I use Diatomaceous Earth. It is amazing. It is non toxic and will not harm the pets. It has to be FOOD grade. Look it up it is amazing. It will kill the fleas with in 24 hours. Good luck

Flea collars are more dangerous than Frontline Plus.

YT 3000 Club Member | do you have a company called flea busters in your area, I used it last october and it worked very well, and its guaranteed for a year and is non toxic. Flea collars are dangerous, very toxic, good luck. |

| You can also look online for CedarCide Best Yet. It is a natural non-toxic product that is great for killing fleas! It may not smell very nice, but it definately does the job! |
