How about a no-fail flea treatment? I have googled


Posted: Mar 1, 2012

flea treatment and I see sprays and links for homemade treatments, but I have tried some of the homemade treatments  and they do not work.  Does anyone have a no-fail method?  It has been very warm here lately (supposed to be 80 today!) and they will be bad this year.  Any help MOST appreciated:)

I have my dogs only on heartworm medicine - nothing for fleas for the last 6-7 years - I keep eucalyptus throughout my house in vases, under the couch where the dogs can't reach it, etc. Haven't seen a flea yet in all that time.
I looked it up and am going to try that. I might as well... - sm

Buy a few boxes of table salt, generic will do. Sprinkle it liberally over the carpet and work it in a little. Allow to sit for a few hours or a day, then vacuum thoroughly. The salt will dessicate the fleas. Good luck!

Flea Treatment For DogsDec 02, 2011
Hi Everyone,   What kind of treatment works best for your dogs?  My 3 little doggie children are having the darnest time keeping fleas away.  The last treatment I tried only kept them away for about a week or so; can't think of the name, but it's the one you can get at Walmart.  Was thinking of giving Frontline a try . . .     ...

Flea Bites?!?!Jul 30, 2012
Why all of a sudden am I getting flea bites?  I have had cats for over 16 years and normally every summer about this time, the fleas come.  I treat my fur babies with Advantage, vacuum and wash their bedding, but they go out in the fenced yard and other strays come in, so I know the fleas are a way of life, just try to keep them at bay.  But over the past week or so, I got big, itchy red welts in spots where I come in contact with my cats.  One is on the back of my upper ...

Lyme Disease TreatmentAug 02, 2012
I am looking for any information in how you (or someone close to you maybe) was treated for Lyme disease.  Was it done only with antibiotics, pulsed antibiotics, or something else?  My sister-in-law is really in a bad way with this. She apparently has neuropathic pain too and nothing seems to be helping it.  She's hardly gotten out of bed in 2 wk.  Any experiences, suggestions, ideas, would be much appreciated. Thank you. ...

I underwent an Achilles tendon repair 6 weeks ago, went for one of my postop visits a couple of days ago and about 2 cm of my incision has opened and may be infected. My doctor started me on some major antibiotics, 2000 mg of Keflex a day, and has referred me for wound care treatment, trying to get this healed quickly so I can start physical therapy. I have been on a walker and absolutely no weightbearing on the surgical leg for 6 weeks, so kind of anxious about getting this thing going. Any ...

BTW, Baucus'  proposal was to let tax rates rise on Jan. 1 on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples fell on a vote of ...

One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance ind ...

Ending "too Big To Fail"?Nov 11, 2009
The anti-monopoly laws in the US are weak. Large corporations are multi-conglomerates. Put the two together and you have companies that are "too big to fail" without taking too many people (as in jobs, personal savings, and such) down with them. Thoughts on the legislation to correct the formations of such behemoths?  I'm not crazy about ignoring the issue and letting the market cure itself. To me, that seems like passing the problem off on later generations because I don't ...
