Major Flea Issue!

Yes it is, the main thing to watch out for is that you dont get it in their eyes and that you get food grade quality.
Diatomaceous Earth

on the side note, I started doing little more research about it and decide to try it myself, I mix with with juice and drink it once a day. I noticed that few weeks into it, my brittle nails started growing out and those white specks have dissapeared. I also have a tendency to bite nail when I'm nerveous (I know, awful habit), but since taking this, I cant do it anymore because they are so hard.

I keep my dog on Revolution. A capsule you open and put contents on in between the shoulders once a month. I have been using this on my shepard mix for the last 10 years. I also take him to doggie parks. The old guy has not had a flea on him since I started using it..Oh the good thing is that it protects him against heartworm. A little expensive, I believe it is like $86.00 for 6 capsules. Cheaper for smaller dogs, goes by weight. I travel back and forth from Florida to Michigan several times a year.

I think at one point I used that to battle cockroaches.

I live in Illinois and have never had a flea problem. Ticks from the woods and greneral walks yes! But since useing Vectra 3D ~ no ticks and well fleas never had!

This was the worst year for fleas that I remember in a long time. Out of my 2 dogs and 3 cats only one cat (long hair) got them bad. The others you would find one or two fleas but he was loaded! I had to take him in and they gave him capstar and a steroid shot. It's under control now.
