Lovin' The Homestead
So, we've had dogs for 6 years, since we bought our house, and have NEVER had an issue with fleas.
A few months back we watched a friends 2 dogs for them for a couple days, and noticed that they were itching, but didn't think anything about it because we thought that they were on flea meds/collars. Needless to say, they were not! When they came home to pick up the dogs, they said that when they got home they had fleas in their house!
Fast forward to now... they've moved away and we're stuck with the fleas!!
We cannot afford to take all of our dogs to the vet and get the meds right now ($45 for each dog (4) for an office visit and then the cost of the medication as well.)
I bought some Permethrin at TSC, and that does seem to help some, but it doesn't seem to last very long? I've bathed them with dawn and neem oil, washed bedding, vacuumed, used borax and DE on the carpet overnight... I'm at my whits end!!!
Is there something that I'm missing? Should I try to put the permethrin right on them undiluted? Try something else? Help!!
