| Flea killer combs? Hi everyone, I wondered if anybody has tried these flea killer combs as a natural method of flea control. I would like to know if it works well, as I would really like to use natural flea control instead of Frontline etc. I thought I could maybe attack the fleas naturally on all fronts by using a cedar shampoo, a supplement with garlic and brewers yeast and then this flea killer comb. What do you think?

| Hi Yvonne!! I have never heard of one of those Electronic flea combs here in the states!! I would be curious to know if they work!! I am lucky because I don't use any flea products and we don't any fleas in my area, we have clay soil and I guess it's just too hard for them to nest!! I hope someone else has used this and can comment!!

| Thanks so much for replying, anyway. I will put this post in the Europe forum in case it is only available over here. You are so lucky not to have a flea problem. Luv Yvonne xxx |

| Franceen, I would like to know too. I asked the same question about a year ago and no one had answers. I guess someone is gonna have to bite the bullet and order one. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | All I know is that I bought an Epilady hair removal system in the 80's that was supposed to be painless, it was the biggest rip-off I've ever seen. Eighty dollars when they first came out, in a cute leather pouch. I would never buy another product made by Epilady, they use false advertising.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You actually could use it? It was so painful, I don't know if it worked or not. Maybe the flea comb works, but since their advertsing stressed pain free, I don't really believe them.

| Thanks for all the replies. Nobody has used them, it seems. I put the question on the European forum, but got no replies. If I decide to try one, I will let you all know if it is effective. I have been asking friends to ask around for me, but they have also found that people know about them, but haven't actually bought one and tried it out. As you say, Cindy, SOMEBODY is going to have to bite the bullet and try one. I'll think about it. Luv Yvonne xxx |
