yes garlic works for keeping the fleas off

someone i knew used to crush up human burpless garlic tablets in the dog
food . much nicer for doggy .

eucalyptus works

can wash them in a eucalyptus wash

also tying a little sash thing on their collars with it in

but you have to treat all areas , where the animal sleeps etc

they are also in the soil.

easier to go with frontline etc it works .

We use Frontline on our dog.
​
 
frontline I use on my dogs
and advantix my brother in law uses
both top notch

garlic is actually bad for dogs digestive system

​
 
Borax, it's natural.

If you have good air conditioning that also dehumidifies then you shouldn't have to worry much about any long-term flea infestations though.
 
fleas

we use brewers yeast or garlic .. also ..plant some lavender plants .. its a natural flea repellant.. if you cant .. get a lavender spray..( healing gardens makes a nice one) i spray the edges of the doors and kids mattresses with it .. also i bath my dogs once a week..i take some lavender leaves and rub it on the cats.. living in the country the way we do..we have fleas...theres no getting around it ..also.. clean your pets bedding ...
 
If they do get fleas bath them thoroughly and rinse them with a flea rinse. Do this a few times over a couple of months, as well as using Frontline or something similar at the start of each month to prevent it happening again in the future.

I don't know about natural remedies though, sorry

Garlic in the dogs food ..just a little of it will help keep them off. I use to put a few banana peels in the yard for some odd reason it kept them at bay..ticks an fleas this works on. Not to many though might slip on them plus it looks gross after a while..lol
 
My two dogs have never caught fleas. I use this shampoo especially made for dogs to prevent fleas/ticks. I wish I could remember the name cause it works great! But natural ways :dontknow: maybe keep them inside the house more often.

You bath them in that?

No. You give them a normal bath. Then use half water and half vinegar in a spray bottle.
Then you spray the animal all over, avoiding the ears and eyes. Then let dry.
If it is a huge flea problem then you would want to repeat in a few days.

You can use the vinegar in the bath if you mix equal parts of dish soap, vinegar, and water to make a shampoo like solution.

Thanks! I think my dog might have fleas cause I saw some flea dirt on him but I dont see them x_x
 
If you want a non chemical solution: dawn dish soap works wonders. feeding your dog garlic will cause several issues. please consult a professional instead of the internet...
 
Garlic will screw up your pets digestive system, dont want to risk a huge vet bill or even death, might as well buy the most expensive flea killer.
I buy capstar, they sell it at the vet for 30 bucks a box or 5 dollars a pill, fleas are coming off and dying within thirty minutes, by the end of the day most to all are off, if not, you can use another pill as early as the next day. The pills releases something off the dogs skin which acts like poison. It may not be a home remedy, but bathe your pet in dawn soap and then use that pill and you should be good to go ^.^

ok ms salesman
 
Lol, hey I dont like to spend too much money especially on a budget, I've had my state of spending money on crap that doesn't work >.>
 
I work at a vets office and A lot of our clients Use/Like Frontline But over the last 2 yrs we have heard people complaining about this. Well we now have 3 different options: #1 The new frontline Tritak which works within 5 mins #2 a tablet called comfortis which is great (Give with a full meal) or #3 Trifiex I strongly recommend this one it does everything in 1 including Heartworm prevention! Also We have great rebates going on now for frontline , and trifexis !!
 
I don't know about you guys, but it's also tick season! Here's something I found while floating around on the internet that'll work for ticks and fleas.

'For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent). To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.'

I heard that apple cider vinegar works. You just pour some on a towel and rub it on your pet.😀

This is a good piece of advice. Thanks for sharing! I didn't know about it. I should say, it is great to find a non-chemical solution. Usually I order sprays and collars on Pet Express (I always use tрis site to buy all necessary products for my pets), but I don't want to use them all the time.

Looks like this is a old thread, and a old problem with having cats and dogs. We dint know fleas could live here where we live !! we got a infestation when 2 pups we bought had to go to the vets to get fixed. I over heard one of the vet techs talking about their flea infestation, sure enough we had fleas when we brought the pups home! we did everything to get rid of those pesky things!! finally resorting to unnatural ways, sorry to say!
Super bugs are a thing and i feel fleas have became one of these "super bugs", that have gotten used to what we do to kill them .....
 
Ticks are very annoying and very often guests in my house unfortunately . Really hate them. My little doggy almost died cause of those
 
Cat's always get fleas. Especially those who walk out frequently. I have three cats and they got fleas several times as well. I take them to a vet and follow his advices. I also found much useful info at https://www.catfoodpoint.com/how-to-get-rid-of-fleas-on-cats to prevent them from getting fleas in advance, like getting a flea collar, and provide info on how to make remedies for fleas at home.

Getting them off your pet is easy, removing them from the house is not. Typically you're going to need an exterminator.

i dont do natural when it comes to fleas and ticks, monthly spot on and treating the yard along with the dog has kept them at bay for me. different meds work in different regions which is why some work for some and others dont.

if its got to exterminator point here, i'd rather douse it in gas and aim & flame it. 😆

not sure the wording goes with the topic but the pic does 🤣
 
Being a fellow cat I stay away from @David NY he's always itching. Something ain't right about that kitty 😛

In all seriousness, I use Seresto flea collars. I've never had a problem with fleas since using them. One year we did and it was hell!!! Had to treat the cats, the house, and it took forever to get rid of them. My one cat Gary has dermatitis to their saliva so he suffered health problems when we had them.

You wouldn't talk to me the way you do if he was here I know that for sure.

I don't have fleas, but you definitely are terminally online. Hope you manage to go outside one day. x
