HELP #$%^&*@ Fleas!!!!

[pagrunt]

OK, this is for the pet parents. We have been fighting an unforgiving group of fleas that keep going after the dog. The sprays, collars, shampoos, & Dawn dish soap (most effective but he can't live with a coating of it on him.) I used the pills & worked but I don't want to spend $40 every six days. The house end of this seems to be OK, the yard needs another spay but the on & off rain gives a small window. I thought the dog was getting under control but today he had almost a dozen when I combed him out as we have been after every trip outside. I'm ready to scorch the grass, rip up the little carpeting we have, & wrap the furniture in plastic. We been good until this year.

Try garlic drops, add it into his water.

I totally forgot about garlic. Next trip to the store & I'll pick some up.

Spray your yard with Bayer flea and tick. Double dose if needed, Also don't waste your time on the over the counter flea and tick treats, ......spend the money and get the powerful 3 month ones from the vet, comfortis....it is perscription only stuff but it works great on my 4 dogs

I used the Bayer stuff all the time. The wife is getting him scheduled for his yearly check up & going to see about the perscription stuff.

Shave half your pubes, light the unshaved half on fire, stab the little bastards with an icepick as they flee the fire.

Shave half your pubes, light the unsaved half on fire, stab the little bastards with an icepick as they flee the fire.

OUCH! That sounds like a cure for crabs.

I Utilize the frontline treatment on my dogs and cat… Knock on wood, so far it seems to work great. I reapply once per month to each of the pets.

Seriously, I'm in the woods, and both dogs are on Nexgard with no problems. Little dog doesn't like them, but if it's the only snack, down it goes.....

Haven't seen any fleas, But we had a tick problem for awhile last winter. They were getting in between the girls toes and in their ears. I had to spray the whole yard 3 times and got tubes of some stuff from the Vet to put on their backs. I was beginning to think I would never get rid of nasty little bastards.
