I've tried a few things in my search for a natural flea killer, something that wasn't a poison. After considerable research, I read about diatomaceous earth and how amazing it is. I explained all of its qualities in a previous thread, but it is organic, can be used to kill many insects as well as intestinal worms when mixed into their food. Farmers use it for their livestock.

We tried it this week and I'm sorry to say that it is a disgusting product. It's a fine powder and you have to sprinkle it onto their coats and rub it in. It dries their hair out completely, causes the hair to tangle constantly and smells like a kitty litter box. And after three days of litter-box hell, the fleas seem to like their new terrain and aren't showing signs of leaving or dying.

They smell horrible. This powder makes them feel, look and smell like stinky, dirty dogs

I'm going to buy Revolution and bath them over the weekend.

Oh no!!!!!!! Im sorry to hear that the product did not work. We are lucky to not have any fleas on our dogs at all. Not sure what we did, but there was never one flea on them, ever.

Luckily Mika was clean when we got him too. Is there nothing you can get at a vet that they can eat to get rid of the fleas?

Thanks Marilize, I was thinking of getting some this summer as the fleas here seem to have built up a resistance all the known flea products.........BTW: Same goes for the ants here, they just won't die................................
