kill um with crisps 7 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Dont bother with frontline, theres another called advantage. That should do the trick. Also it would be a good idea to get a professional pest controller in twice a year to do a residual insecticidal spray of your kennels/home. Ask them if they are able to guarantee their work.

Shadowstalker 2 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Harkamitex, 15ml in 1L of water in a spray bottle, spray all around the kennel and beds and 5 or 6 sprays around the dogs neck and down its back, the bottle does say not for use on livestock but i have never had a problem in 12 years, you wont see a flea or tick or any creepy crawlie near you dog this stuff is lethal, available on Ebay for about £9 Quote Link to post

Slimsunny 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 If you can put up with the smell and your dog can! Lavender oil, comb it in and watch them jump off simple cheap non chemical quick and i'll vouch for it. It really is amazing the results! Quote Link to post
Gin 498 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Is Harkamitex not just for mites,- in birds. Harmless to animals i think, but Frontline is designed for fleas etc Quote Link to post
sounder 9 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 i used frontline i find it great !! sounder Quote Link to post
Flamin'Nora! 50 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 how does the lavender work if the dogs licking itself clean or do you only put it on back of the neck and down the spine where the dogs hard to reach? Quote Link to post
