Comments on Natural Flea Control: Stop Using Pesticides to Kill Fleas

I've heard or read somewhere that poultry seasoning (sage, rosemary and thyme) are an all natural flea treatment for cats! Hope this helps!

DE!!!! Diotamecious Earth !! Fleas love it, eat it up and explode, a lot like what BORAX does too!!!!! Lots of uses in and out of the house.

This is from an Indian homeopath who has a book on how to use homeopathic remedies to rid your garden of pests. I have not tried this yet, but just bought some vials of Ledum Palustre to try when flea season starts again. I just don’t know how to make a tincture of it to rub on my dogs. Anyone?

“Fleas are fleas, right? So the remedy is the same as for fleas on cats – Ledum palustre herbal tincture. Rub it onto you dog’s skin but do it in the garden so the fleas have somewhere else to jump to rather than into your carpet or onto you.” Kaviraj.

I have a older Cat. This is the first year she has gotten fleas. I have bathed her, salted the carpet. She still has fleas. It driving me crazy. What do I do
She does not go out side since this started. HELP.

If you read the fine print on the precautions labels for Nexgard ,for example, it says that the product has not been evaluated on breeding and lactating dogs, and yet veterinarians are giving it to them. They also state use with caution on dogs with history of seizures? What does that tell you.?

I put Frontline on my Buddy - back of the neck - yesterday morning around 10:00. By 10 p.m. he was shaking his head violently, like dogs do when their ears are infected. He was scratching himself, chewing at his feet, and was restless and anxious. I found the horror stories on the Internet and shampooed his neck around 11:00. About an hour later I shampooed his neck again, using Dawn dishwashing liquid. He calmed down and we slept until he started shaking his head violently at 5 a.m. I gave him a benadryl. He calmed down for a while but started shaking his head again around 6:30. He is still anxious and restless. I will call my vet at 8:30 to see if there is an antidote. I don't know if what she will do will help or harm Buddy. She prescribed Apoquel. After a recent skin flare up , he is now on antibiotics and she gave me a betamethasone spray. We are trying to get his ALK PHOS down from 6,000+ by eliminating steroid Tameril P that my old vet had him on for several months. I found this site and stopped Apoquel yesterday. I should have kept reading, but I had researched Frontline and it seemed the safest topical. I had been using Advantage Multi and wanted to stop the oral flea preventive.
All that to ask this: Is there anything I can do for Buddy to get him through this adverse reaction OTHER THAN take him to Whitecoat and pray she doesn't harm him? I am very frightened for him, but so far he has not had the seizures that so many have reported. Since 2007. Unbelievable. Insane.

Im thankful for the post. Great.

I have to say its been a year since I stopped using frontline. My dog would dive into the pool as soon as I put it on her skin. Thats what made me think!! She must know something I don't.
I thought about the last time I had seen a flea in my area of Florida, couldn't remember, so why was I using this on my dog in the first place?
Still haven't seen a flea and my dogs feel better. I will cross the bridge of ridding them of something when they get it.

What natural remedy can I use, instead of Revolution, for preventing heart worm? I live on a lake on Galveston Island where there are many, many mosquitos. Are there any holistic vets in Galveston County?
