Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have a great solution. Years ago, I was inundated with fleas, and after trying everything else and still no luck getting rid of the little buggers, I discovered Fleabusters, which at that time was a service only. Then they began selling just the product, it's so easy to apply. And the best part, it's a salt which dries out the fleas, but is pretty innocent as far as toxicity goes. It lasts a very long time, and is not impacted by vacuuming. They say a year, I find it lasts even longer. Rugwashing will probably weaken it though. Whenever I see the first indication of fleas now, I use it and voila, fixed in a couple of days. And no worries about me or my pets getting sick from it. It's great stuff. You can get it online, through their website, and some vets carry it. Not sure why it's not in pet stores anymore. My theory is that it's too effective. I sent for it online and got it really quickly.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I found the salt based compound at Rainbow Market in bulk.

It's simple self defense, the same reason that I carry spiders out of the house but mosquitoes do not get the same treatment... -Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
