We ave two dogs and three cats and I am about to order flea stuff for them> It is soooo expensive using Frontline or Adavantage so I am wondering if anyone here has any cheaper alternatives that WORK. If I have to pay for results then so be it but there has to be a cheaper way any suggestions?

Use 1/4 teaspoon of Eucalyptus Oil in an 8 - 10 ounce spray pumper bottle filled with water. Spray your carpet, furniture, pet's beds. Fleas apparently hate the aroma and will "flee". Spray your pets with this mixture as well. Vacuuming is also important for getting the eggs that may be in the carpet.

You can also try Lemon Tonic - boil one pint of water and remove from heat. Add one thinly sliced lemon and allow to steep over night. Strain. Pour the liquid into a spray bottle and apply liberally to the pet's coat. Rub it in so that the skin is wet. Lemons are good for the skin and contain limonene which is an effective insect repellant. The limonene actually dissolves a flea's waxy coating causing them to dehydrate and die.

Yet another remedy is 1 cup of Avon Skin So Soft, 1 tsp of citronella, 2 cups white vinegar and 2 cups of water. Mix well and spray on with spray bottle.

You could consider getting rid of the dogs and cats. This could result in saving a fortune, not just on flea powder, but food, vet bills, cleaning costs, doggery and cattery bills, overwhelming sadness when they die (consider a tortoise) etc etc.

Many thanks for both your input some constructive some not so lol.

Of course I could combine both solutions and guarantee results ........... Spray them down, panic cos they are too wet and put them in the tumble dryer to dry off and wham bam no fleas and dry fluffy dead pets whoopee do no more worries .


Well maybe not but it's an idea as flea season is just around the corner.
