jeppi26 1,855 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Get to the pound shop and stock up on flea collars it's what I do change it every 2/3 months. No harm in a dog haveing a flea collar on all the time and saves money in the long run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Allan.A 27 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Haven't seen a single flea on any of my dogs for years. Frontline is the answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 At the first sign of a flea, mine get treated with Advantage. A vet said to me once, flea collars are not fit for there intended purpose, she said the only thing there are good for is once you have treated your animals with advantage or frontline, you need to hoover the whole house, cut a flea collar up and put it inside the hoover before you do. Any fleas or eggs that you pick up will be in close contact with the bits of collar for long enough to work inside the hoover... Stay away from any cheap bob martin stuff, poison a dog with that crap... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteN 15 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ive always used frontline and touch wood all has been good, at random intervals i put diatomaceous earth between all cracks and crevices to kennel and in between insulation and board, now and again if i have any left over ficam w a quick spray with that.

forest 137 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 This has been a bad year for fleas because of the way the weather has been because of humidity the best way to treat a lot of fleas on a dog is to wash them in detol then to put a flea collar on them but you need to spray all the beding down with detol aswell good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trigger2 3,100 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 frontline ie the stuff you want. get the one off the vet and not the one from your local stores as they are different even though they are both called frontline. the one from the vets is called frontline combo and the one from your local stores like country wide etc etc is just frontline and is shit. there is a different/extra chemical in the one from the vets which only vets are registered to sell thats why there one is better.

To do the dog boxes I just boil up a load of pots of water. I pour the boiling water into all the cracks and crevices. This will do eggs and fleas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
