I also read that a liquid from orange zest will keep the fleas off. I have not tried it yet but if you google "orange zest fleas", you see the recipe for it.
Good luck.

There is a feed store on 195 right behind the tow truck place. Country Secrets was a clothing store that went out of business about a year ago.

I had the same problem with the formerly effective Frontline Plus. One tablet of Comfortis per month takes care of the problem almost instantly.

They usually don't carry that. It's the other mom and pop like stores that do. Anywhere you can get seed and feed for farming ect. That's what I call a feed store.

So far I've kept them out of the house, but the barbarians are at the gate!

I did some research last night and I found out that putting apple cider vinegar on your dog after a bath will help get rid of fleas. Make sure you rub it in so that it reaches their skin. The website said that the fleas hate the taste of it. You may have rewash and reapply every week for a few weeks but definitely keeps them off. You can also put a little bit in your dogs food or water a few times a week and it will get keep the off also.
I washed my dogs this morning and put the apple cider vinegar on each dog. I did a quick inspection on each dog a few minutes ago and I didn't find one flea. I let y'all know how it goes in a few days.

I asked at the vet's office when I picked up NEW flea meds about fleas this year and they said they're bad all over and the problems started earlier than in years past. We've never had a problem with them before, I was wondering if it was just us.

You are right, Ludwig. Diatomaceous Earth can also be used to kill some internal parasites, like worms. I absolutely love DE. It can get wet, and is just as powerful once it dries as it was before. True natural magic And yes, DO NOT use the POOL stuff - it can be deadly, like Ludwig said.

I use vinegar and water mix to keep my dog from itching after her bath. It also helps with the wet dog smell. But didn't know it can help with fleas too.
