Toss out that vacuum cleaner bag, and after you've combed your dog,
sweep
the floors again - 2 times a day. A sweeper won't pick up larvae, but
it
will pick up adults. If you don't want to toss the bag every time you
sweep, put it in a plastic bag, tie it shut and toss it in the freezer
between times.

Or put those useless flea collars to work and put a cheap one in the
bag.

A flea allergy could also be the culprit for itching. It only takes a
bite
or two.

They're definitely spreading, as I'm now covered in bites and found one
in
my bed this am!! My vet did say garlic was OK in small doses, but it
doesn't seem to be doing much :-( Am combing her as suggested too.
Strangely enough, I haven't spotted any on my other dog; wonder what his
secret is!!
Will keep trying all suggestions
thanks

mags,

I've read that fleas, which are really dinosaurs that have developed
immunities to just ablout every chemical known to man, can jump 530
times their body height, straight up. if we humans could do that it
would mean that a 5'8" person could jump more than 3000 ft straight
up, thats way more than the height of the Empire State Bldg.

Thanks for suggestions
I can't get Siphotrol here in Australia and I'm having trouble ordering the
Fleabusters online (perhaps that can't be shipped here either?). Local vets
say the Advantage/Frontline should be enough and washing all the bedding
etc, which I am doing. I am also using a variety of oils which, yes, as you
say, is doing bugger all! I am combing her daily too. Both dogs have same
natural raw diet, except one (sans fleas) is getting a variety of herbal
treatments for cancer! Will keep trying...
Thanks again
Mags
