flea treatment


Good morning,

Just wondering what you all use as flea treatment for cats? As Harris has started going out now i need to start looking at something.

I cant however use the spot on treatment on his neck as it caused his ilness to flare a few years ago and accelerated it!! ANyone got any natural remedies they could suggest?

Re: flea treatment


Hi Pamela, I use Diatomaceous Earth (food grade, organic is what I get).I just sprinkle it thru their coats. It is meant to kill the fleas and is completely natural. Mine lick their coats and it's not harmful at all. I also sprinkle it on their bedding.However as it's summer here, I also use Advantage Spot On every 4 weeks. If you google the D. Earth, it will give you lots of info. Others will probably have other suggestions.There are heaps of herbal drops that are meant to be effective too, but they have a smell and they seem to affect my cats eyes.

Good luck. !!!
