Hello all

Apologies if this has been asked a gazillion times, but am desperate to get
rid of fleas but am reading so many contradictory things (vet's closed for
the night) and I respect the judgement and knowledge of posters here. Is
garlic OK? Cooked or raw? mixed with their food? I discovered the fleas
on only one of my dogs and got Frontline Plus and applied it on Sunday but
they seem to be getting worse. I have used a fogger in the house and washed
all bedding and vacuumed too, but still they seem to be multiplying!!
Strangely, my other dog doesn't have any (was hesitant to use Frontline on
him anyway as he has cancer; waiting to hear back from holistic vet re
this).

Want to try and feed them both some fish with garlic tonight to see if this
will abate the onslaught!! (I haven't been affected either but
psychologically...!!)
So cheers for any advice...

I would avoid the use of garlic... 25 years of experience has led me
to beleive that fleabuster powder is the safest and most effective
method of ridding your pets, your home, your yard and yourself of
fleas, ticks and mites. It is a very finely ground boric powder that
you can either apply yourself or pay them to do. it is safe for all
mammals and works immediately and lasts, they say, for upwards of a
year, provided application instructions are followed. It can be
purchased online or at most reputable pet / feed store outlets. All it
is is finely ground borax which adheres to the fibers of your carpet,
clothes or bedding, hardwood floors or yard and is transferred to the
fleas and flea larvae as they move through it and they carry along
with them thus spreading it to others. It clogs up their breathing
apparratus and causes them to dehydrate. I have consistantly seen
results overnight and because it has no limited "shelf life" or
"wearoff" factor associated with it, it stays where you apply it until
you do something to eliminate its effectivness. They recommend re-
application yearly but my experience has shown me that re-application
has been necessary only 6 times over the last 25 years and I have had
at least 4 inside pets in my house the whole time. I havent spent a
dime on any other form of pesticide, chemical or other harmful element
that could cause health and or degenerative problems for my friends
since. And if thaat doesn't satisfy you then realize that they offer a
100% satisfaction moneyback gurrantee. Thats about as much help as I
can offer you and your furry friends. Have a great life!
