Help Keep Fleas In Check Naturally

Fight fleas naturally with Fleatreats. Flea Treats are a B vitamin complex, specially formulated for dogs and cats. They're flavored with real liver so your pet will love them. When you keep Flea Treats in your pet's system, after about 10 to 20 days, the vitamins cause your pet to develop a natural repellent. You can't smell it, and your pets aren't bothered by the repellent, but fleas don't like it. So they stay off your pet completely. Flea Treats are safe and natural--no hormones nor insecticides. The B vitamins are also the vitamins to promote your pet's healthy skin, shiny coat, and well-functioning nervous system. Flea Treats offers an unconditional money-back guarantee, as well.

http://www.internet-grocer.net/diatome.htm Another great natural solution for dealing with fleas is diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous (die-uh-toe-may-shus) Earth, isn't dirt or earth. It consists of the broken up shells of tiny critters, called diatoms, that lived long ago and died in groups so massive that they can, today, be mined and bull-dozed. It is 100% ecologically safe to the environment and non-poisonous to man and beast. In fact, if you've eaten anything made with flour (like Bisquick), you've eaten DE. It's used in commercial grain storage as a means of natural, poison-free, insect control. It does have the ability to kill "good" insects as well so it shouldn't be use too indiscriminantly. It can be found at most nurseries, but call ahead to make sure. Diatomaceous earth is totally non toxic so it is safe for use with pets and it won't harm you or your kids (human ones that is). It works by simply suffocating fleas and flea eggs. You do need to be cautious with your use of DE. Inhaling it can cause lung problems for you and your animals. (It's a fine dust.) It's OK to eat, but don't breathe it. Use a mask when applying DE. Comb gently (to avoid the dust) into your pets coat once a week. Indoors thoroughly dust carpets and pet's bedding and sleeping areas, as well as cracks and baseboards. In the yard simply sprinkle in grass on the patio or anywhere your pet usually goes. Don't forget about the dust so remove pets when treating areas.

Here's some additional info:

Fresh Water Diatoms - Safe Diatomaceous Earth: "�Both swimming pool grade and natural diatomaceous earth come from the same fossil sources but they are processed differently. The natural grades are mined, dried, ground, sled and bagged. The pool grade is chemically treated and partially melted and consequently contains crystalline silica which can be a respiratory hazard. Thus, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ONLY NATURAL DIATOMACEOUS EARTH BE USED FOR INSECT CONTROL. This noncrystalline silica is not a hazard as the human body apparently can dissolve it. �
�Silicosis refers to lung contamination and irritation by crystalline of free silica (Si02). Crystalline describes the orientation of the Si02 molecules which occur in a fixed pattern in contrast to the non periodic, random molecular arrangement defined as amorphous. Exposure to free silica is an occupational hazard to workers. � "
