My neighbour borrowed my old, overweight and arthritic dog to deal to his rat problem. You should see her go, 5 rats in 2 days. Unfortunately she also brought back some backpackers from his unkempt and overgrown garden. So the vet sold me one tablet of Comfortis 18kg for $23 and said the fleas will drop off within 1/2 hour. Active ingredient is spinosad, which is a naturally occurring bacteria. They sure did hop off. On to me and the rest of the house. EEEK.
The next morning and the scratching is worse than before. Am going to wash her bedding in hot water and tea\ tree and leave it in the sun for the day to kill eggs and larvae. My house is now a lavender house after spraying every surface with a weak soluton. My poor dog is allergic to the flea bites so am spraying her with lavender too and using paw paw cream to ease her troubles.
Additional Info: Look up Spinosad in Wikipedia and the blog NATURAL WAYS TO GET RID OF FLEAS. This is a light infestation, for more serious ones of if the natural way doesn't work work with your vet and pest terminator before it gets out of control.
