QUESTION: I am using Advantage.

Answer
D.Earth Natural Powder for fleas and ticks;  Tick control all natural;
This will work:

Many great ideas to go along with your Advantage:





The Spot Treatments, ( most of them) are poison to us and the animals. But, the BIG drug company is making a Fortune !!! OUR pets and Ourselves may suffer or WILL suffer in the future.
( If you use ADVANTAGE use a little less than the full tube... JUST my opinion)

4. D.E. ( From the EARTH)
****************************************************
*** Diatomaceous earth (DE) works, and it's non-toxic not only to your dogs, but birds and other animals that pass through your back yard.

About D. Earth:

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring substances made up of crushed fossils of freshwater organisms or marine life. Insects like the fleas have a waxy coat which helps to prevent water loss through the body surface. What the diatomaceous earth does is that it slices through the coat of the fleas and as such causing dehydration and eventually causes death of the fleas, larvae and eggs.

DE is inactive in presence of water, it's more suited for use on dry walks, dry decks, dry patios, dry lawns. Outdoor flea treatment should focus on areas where your pets rest, sleep, and runs, such as doghouse and kennel areas, under decks, along fences and next to the foundation. Use natural grade rather than pool grade diatomacious earth. Natural Grade for pets.........
It is seldom necessary to treat the entire yard or open areas exposed to full sun. Simply sprinkle the Diatomaceous (DE) powder onto these areas.
PLEASE NOTE****
If it rains, you will need to re-apply the D. Earth to your yard.

You can also use D.E. on your pets/ just avoid the face/ eyes...
NON toxic and very safe...( get a salt shaker or powder shaker...)

GARLIC/ In the NuVET - VERY small amounts do help!!
Also, give a NuVET wafer per day to your dogs...NUVET has a trace amount of Garlic in them...PLUS loads of other supplements that Keep the Fleas away...

Fleas hate the taste of a Healthy pet's blood... They JUMP right off.
If you have D.E powder they may not jump on at all.

CATS can use D.E., too!

As for the cats, you can use D.E for them too...
Just dust them 1 x per day with the D.E. powder.
Make sure you get the PURE and Plain D. Earth.
CATS have a NuVET formula too!!
Cats also can benefit from some NuVET feline powder, too.



Ok, I have given you some very good options - you will need to use One of the top 2 and then a NuVET -
Or you can try the D.Earth and the NuVET.
HOUSE dogs and CATS may be able to get away with the D.Earth powder and one NuVET per day...

KEEP me posted.
This will be so much safer for your pets...
