• Flea Season is at Its Peak!

  

  Henry has fleas! We have been flea combing him daily and getting around 5 -10 fleas off every day. We put Advantage on him but it does not seem to work. Our Vet tells us that neither Frontline nor Advantage work these days because the fleas have built up a resistance to them. I am going to investigate food grade Diotemaceous Earth. The following info describes DE:

• Perma-Guard Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is totally organic and safe.
• It contains less than 1% percent of Crystallin Silica.
• Some of the uses for Diatomaceous Earth include; household pets, gardens, flower beds, field crops, grain storage and livestock feeding.
• Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature’s product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people.
• Diatomaceous Earth is not earth, it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called DIATOMS. 
•  Diatomaceous Earth kills by physical action, not chemical, by puncturing the insect’s exoskeleton and absorbing the moisture in their bodies. It desiccates the bugs.
