Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Chris, I once used a decoction (I think, it's early yet) of rosemary and thyme, like 3:1 (again, I think), which had steeped for a LONG time to increase strength. I strained it in to a spray bottle, added some tea tree oil, and sprayed everything, shaking constantly to keep the tea tree somewhat mixed. I was broke and that was what I had in the house. I sprayed the carpet, furniture, everything that could be sprayed, then I sprayed a sponge and wiped it over the cat. He hated it, but got lots of treats while being rubbed down. Worked surprisingly well, considering. Today I'd add garlic to the critters diets, too, enough to make them stinky, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Chris, You have to be careful , because you got a little one.. Sprinkling diam ( sp) earth* on the places the cat has slept, hang out is a must. Bring her to a Vet for a flea dip, let them deal with it.. Vacuum, vacuum, burn the bags or deposit them outdoors. To prevent fleas, some people swear by nutritional yeast in their pet's food. I would rub mine down , by crushing some wormwood leaves between my hands and than rubbing her down with it. Garlic in their food was to to help, too as a preventative. C-M * Cant remember th ename of that stuff, but you can get in Garden Centers or Feed stores.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hi Chris, We only treat the dog. Our cat stays in all the time. So as long as the dog is free if the darn fleas, she won't bring them in the house. Good Luck. Nancy Hi folks, Being that I live in what seems like one of the bug capitals of the world - we are dealing with - fleas - in winter - oh yay! ;-p I'd love to see what everyone does NATURALLY for helping prevent flea infestations, remove flea infestations and to help get rid of (and keep rid of) fleas on an indoor/outdoor cat that CANNOT be bathed (I tried it ONCE and will never do it again *lol* Thanks! *Smile* Chris (who apparently was living the sheltered life in Colorado for too long where there are no fleas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Chris, Please do NOT take cat to vet for flea dip. The stuff they use is so poisonous and the cat will assimilate it thru the skin, causing mega problems. Some cats even have adverse reactions immediately to the poison. Diatomaceous Earth can be used in the house - furniture, bedding, carpets, etc. But you must be careful not to create a dust cloud with it. Small amounts only can be used on the cat, rubbed gently into the fur. This can be done daily. I always flea comb first and then dust gently with the DE into which I have mixed some ground herbs specific to flea control. Flea combing the cat several times a day is a must in flea control. I would not rub wormwood into the cats fur. Wormwood can be used internally to dispel parasites, but externally a rinse is used for bacterial or fungal infections, not for fleas. It is not to be used internally for more than 3 days. I give my cats DE internally for worms. I do feral rescue and many of my cats are tamed and brought into the house...so I usually have to deal with the flea problem yearly. Proper food and nutrition, plus no vaccinations to compromise the immune system go a long way to keeping the cats healthy and flea free. The safe, alternative methods to flea control have advantages over the chemical (Advantage, Program, flea dips, etc.) methods in that you are not harming your cat health.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences folks I won't flea dip kitty, cause that's not my style - don't want to poison her to get rid of fleas - the benefits don't outweigh the risks for us. Hubby MADE me get some Advantage on her cause - well - he's not a bug guy and is the type to kill an ant with a sledge hammer *lol* but I can sympathize with him after having that bout with scabies over the summer his skin is still hyper sensitive to bug bites and since I can't get him to remember to use my lavender/heli/rose hip seed oil lotion blend on his legs daily his calves and shins still looks like those of a recovering leper So I got the Advantage this ONE time ... The DE sounds good (people grade, not pool grade) as I've heard this from quite a few folks. Also heard about using baking soda and borax on the carpet. Always gotta be careful about whatever I put on the rug though with little ones in the house, and it figures that I have about 2500 sq feet of carpet in this house *sigh* I did get steam cleaner for Christmas (one that will make the water about 20 degrees hotter than the tap too), so I'll probably put that to good work this weekend and boil the suckers to death <evil grinz> The herbs and herbal decoction ideas sounds promising too ... Garlic, hmmm - it was so much easier to add anything to a dog's food than the cat's, but I'll try to get some garlic in there ;-p I wonder if I can rub her down with the garlic *lol* (just kidding - I can see Martin having a heart attack now reading about a garlic powder scented kitty I agree that promoting a strong immune system for kitty is a big help too I'm just looking for ways to not have this become a reoccurring problem (as I hear it can be in Houston).

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I second the suggestion to feed them nutritional yeast on their wet food.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Flea eggs can remain dormant for up to a year before conditions are right for them to hatch. I did a little research on fleas about a year ago. I figured the more I knew about them, the better my chances of getting rid of them. It doesn't help matters that we pretty much live on a sand hill and part of our basement has a sand floor. There is a lot of sand around here - one of fleas favorite places to live Paula ........in Michigan Coming soon Farm Fresh Soaps & Candles Becky Tuesday, January 04, 2005 8:47 PM RE: Fleas Heavens!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 HELP! Our house has become infested with little black fleas and the big brown ones thanks to the dog my husband has brought into the house. I have sprayed the floors and carpets with a commercial spray but it hasn't helped much because I am afraid to put it on the upholstery and bedding because of the grandkids and us coming into contact with it. I vacuum and mop the floors after spraying to keep it coming into contact with humans or the dog. I wash the dog every day with flea soap but every time he goes out he comes back in with more fleas; flea collars don't help. What can I safely use on the dog and the house to get rid of them because they are driving me mad with being bitten and itching. I may have to move out if I don't get some help; he will keep the dog and let me go; the fleas don't seem to bother him. I have never wanted an animal in the house and whenever he brought a dog home it eventually went out but he doesn't seem to budge on this one. I have threatened to get a miniature horse as my pet and move it in the house and see how he handles that. Does anyone know of a miniature horse in the Rome, Georgia area I could rent for a day or two? I wasn't raised in a barn but I feel like I may as well live in one if there are animals living in my house. My apologies to all you animal lovers but I don't like breathing their smells and inhaling their hair; especially as I have allergies.
