johnnyboy28 1 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 [What do you do then just stand one in the corner of where the dogs sleep? or do you spray your dogs with it? can you tell me which method you use please Quote Link to post
juckler123 707 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yeah they work like an air freshner and look the same i used to have a little box in the top of the kennels with holes drilled in so as the dogs didnt eat em an a good cover on the kennel door and 1 stood in the living room never had fleas since there designed to kill all walking and flying insects up to wasp size but as i said i think theyve been withdrawn from sale another firm did them but i cant remember the name at the mo but ive only got two left myself so ill be checking the garden suppliers out i should imagine theres loads of other firms doing these vets use em for ticks on snakes etc . oh and they last for about 3 months and cost 3 quid a bit cheaper than shampoos dips etc and the dogs dont get the stress Quote Link to post

Guest EWOK Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 If you can find a chemical called Admire, it is use by farmers here to keep bugs off bedding plants, it works just like frontline, k-9 plus, and all the apply to the top of the shoulders flea controls. A pint here cost 60-70 dollars which is high but it only takes a couple of drops a month to control fleas and at that rate the bottle will last years, I split a bottle with my son in law a few years ago.

I pay monthly for all my dogs treatment. My vets do this thing called the pet health club. I pay something like £12 per a dog a month. This includes years supply of frontline for each dog, milbemax worming tablets every 3 months, 2 healthchecks a year, and boosters. My vets would be out of business if i wasn't one of there clients.
