How do I apply this to get rid of fleas? My dogs and cats have never had fleas. Fontline Plus and flea shampoo failed us. Best application areas?

I don't have pets so I can't help with this, sorry. We used it for bugs in our apt.

We just rubbed it generously in their fur. especially in the neck area. Give them a good bath and completely dry them first. You'll want to apply it to carpets and furniture as well. It's not a "quick fix" but it'll keep working as long as it's being used. DE works by getting under the exoskeleton of fleas and cutting them. It also works as a drying agent, drying them out, killing them. Good luck!

I powder my animals with it. It's edible so it won't hurt them. I also powder my floors and furniture (if the infestation is really bad) using a flour sifter. I let it sit a bit then vacuum it up. Do this every few days or so (especially powder on the animals) until the fleas appear to be gone. The key is to be sure any newly hatching fleas get caught in the powder.

I use the product for personal intake. Unable to answer your question. Good Luck

Use " Vets best" Flea and tick homespray (all natural and it works ; here on Amazon) on your dog everytime you go outside and stay away from any wild or untrreated cats , squirls or wild animals ( they have lots of fleas) in your neighborhood look for infeasted flea areas around your home inside & outside and treat.. Put a barrier around your home (outside )where your dogs go with Diamaceous earth. Again use both products inside your home where the Dogs lay. You can also set up Flea traps but I have never used them.Do an inspection on your dog before and especially after a walk.

First off, be prepared for a mess. i sprinkled it on using a measuring cup, the longer you leave it on the more effective it is with fleas. make sure you wear a mask when you lay it. it's safe to eat, but not to breath. and frontline, if your pets werent previously on it, takes about 3 months to control an infestation alone. so we did this, combined with lots of vacuming, washing of bedding, and frontline, and we are now flea free. took 3 months for our infestation though. (plus i have tons of this left over for my garden this summer :))

I am not sure, sorry but it really doesn't help at all with reinfestation of fleas, etc. I hated to use chemicals but had to in the end as fleas were making my dog ill. The cat was infesting the dog over and over, so now they are both on Advantage/Advantix products..natural is better in our minds but those darn larvae and eggs don't go away!

I have found it best to spray everything, as I don't want the fleas to come back. I started with the furniture then the floors. One application should work to kill the fleas and eggs. Just remember to vacuum the floor and furniture first.

This did not work for either of my dogs. I still give it to them for general health, but it had zero effect on the fleas. I got nitenpyram and lufenorem capsules which are actually working to stem the flea population. The dogs love the brewers yeast tablets and think they are treats, but I cannot recommend them at all for flea control.

There has been a lot of talk about it helping with fleas, so I thought I would give it a try. I saw no difference at all, but a friend said that you should rub it into the fur instead of on their food. I still have a lot left so I might try that the next time.

The medicine only kills the fleas and eggs on the animal. You still need to spray flea killer on furniture and wherever the pet sleeps, wash bed linens, and vacuum frequently until the fleas are eradicated.

Yup I think it worked great. I really sprayed on a covering by our garbage. I also put it on the couch and NOPE dog and cats stayed away. IT does not hurt anything you spray it on. JUST be liberal with it. The other thing is you can use a squirt bottle with only water. WHEN they do something just squirt the water and say NO ??. My adopted puppy does not chase the cat anymor since I spray and say stop chase. GOOD LUCK

My dogs have never had fleas. I've used Brewer'sYeast tabs on them since they were about two years old. They are now 11 and 10.

I have no idea how to answer this question about your anamial. I use it on cats. I have to soak, sort of, my cats and then product works instantally on infected anamials. Once the cats are treated, spray Adams around your home as you would spray fly spray. Do that fonce a week for a few weeks or more and you will be flea free?

From what I understand, it's not a remedy for fleas but rather a non hypoallergenic without a smell that attracts fleas. You need an additional treatment for the fleas. I have used the shampoo 3 times and it is helpful but not a solution. Good luck.Mike

Yes, it can be used after flea applications. This is a great product, it does the job, and our old guy sure smells a lot better afterward. MEDICATED shampoos WILL wash off flea applications, so avoid them.

Used multi approach as fleas were bad and getting worse Steam cleaned carpets and let dry before using Steam kills active fleas continued using frontline washed and sprayed bedding put cedar chips in yard Can't give a time frame as shotgun approach was used Sure am happy fleas are gone. If used again would apply before fleas were so bad

I have found this to be very effective flea control for my dog..just rub the top of the bottle ( it has a small plastic opening ) on the fur coat...brush it in a bit and the dog will LOVE you as fleas will avoid this smell like the plague..just watch pet's eyes tho do not let oil touch raw skin or eyes...

I hear some flea populations can be more fierce than others. But here in southern California, I put this on a stray cat that adopted me as she wanted to come in my house. She's been using it for two months, and I only find a few fleas here and there. Perhaps two a week - she is still outdoors everyday. You might give it a try! :) You're a kind soul!

I too feed a "friend" .after years of different treatments with frontline etc etc i tried bayer serestoThe first time I bought it it workedThe second time it took a bit to get going..my indoor /outdoor cat is the one who I am treating with itI had her cut and flea bathed before putting it on.I added advantage plus to it and finally am on top of the problemMy uncle who is a vet out of state says you HAVE to get the products from the vets office. he says the others may not be full strength etc etc He uses Frontline Plus so next time that is what I will buy
