straw bedding, carrying mites/fleas ?

[SINDASOX 256]

Get a tub of Diatomaceous Earth http://diatomx.co.uk/

 

Sprinkle on the straw and under it: kills fleas, mites etc. Not expensive, non toxic, etc etc. Works a treat and keeps working for months and months, though obviously you need to sprinkle it again each time you change the straw.

 

 

How much of this Diatomaceous would you need to sprinkle in the bedding area....???...and can you put it directly onto the dogs coat, also heard theres different grades of this stuff....is the link you put up the stuff you would recommend.

 

Thanks

I tend too use paper in the summer or blankets and straw in the winter with a sprinkle of mite and flea powder on the straw never had a problem yet got a friend who tried the same way I bed but ended up with skin problems so can depend on the dog when using straw

ive used waxed shreded paper for a few years now.

great stuff, no dust like you get with paper when it starts to break down and its cheap
