We use and recommend Non Toxic products to combat flea infestations.
Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) is made of the fossils of freshwater organisms and crushed
to a fine powder, but it's deadly to fleas, ticks, lice, bed bugs, and other external pests.
D.E. scratches the insect's waxy outer shell, eventually causing death by dehydration.
However, it's completely safe for all other animals. Use as a topical dusting for animals
or around the kennel and bedding for environmental control. Also can be used as a supplement
to improve health and appearance problems associated with internal parasites.

On animals: Use as a dusting during parasite season by sprinkling
or rubbing into the coat of the animal.
Kennels: Sprinkle around kennel or bedding areas where there
is a high concentration of parasites.
Oral use: 1-2 tbsp per 50 lbs as needed as nutritional supplement for animals
with skin & coat needs during the parasite season.
The Juice of Citrus is all natural and non toxic
In a pinch you can use fresh lemon juice, lime juice or orange juice. Just be sure not to use around eyes. Let sit with juice of citrus for about 10 minutes then rinse well. * never use the peel or pith of the citrus and never use citrus on cats.
We like orange juice concentrate. Any brand of pure no sugar added orange juice or lime juice. Lemon juice concentrate tends not to be pure lemon juice or is diluted with sugar.
