:shock: Rip up the garden and pave it instead - saves water and you don't get fleas :?

:lol: Hiya widge, just a thought, but would flea powder you use for cats and dogs and homes work in the garden? I haven't come across this problem before but thought it might work. Hope so. :)

Interesting..I cant stop my Doggy scratching recently...she has a flea collar and that front line treatment....but she scratches all the time....any suggestions ??

ps..she always swims in the pool...could that be an antidote ??...for the collar ??

:? more than likely that the chlorine in the pool water is reacting with her skin, I would check that out first, if not it could well be that exposure to the water is making the flea collar less effective.

Hi Re flea control, although you may have treated your pet with Frontline,
some dogs require the spray type Frontline as does mine. £25. a bottle. 8)
Re garden fleas try good brand of Bug contol, it should do the trick : :roll:
