Try spraying them with Mint mixed with water, right before you take them out.

I had a cat who had a litter of kittens before you knew it there were fleas everywhere someone told me this and it is true it worked for me go out and find magnolia trees and pick the leaves off tree bring them home and place them all around your house and between furniture cushions fleas hate the smell they will leave dont know about ticks

i put lime in my yard. i know fleas don't like lime and i don't have a problem with ticks. i do this after i put flea and tick killer in the yard. fleas will not cross lime, snakes don't like lime, and it makes your grass greener
i put a drop of lavender in their bedding.
i use frontline
when i vaccuum i put a flea collar in the cannister. when the fleas get sucked up it kills them.
get an exterminator or bomb the house with raid
i don't have a problem i live in the country in MS i use to have a big problem.
also a vitamin b suppliment can be given to the dog. it works from the inside out. i have never done this, i read it in a book. talk to the vet before doing this

CEADR!! I live in Central Texas and cedar spray worked for the 4 dogs my parents have!! They had a bad flea infest and we got cedar and it cleared up in like a week or two!!
You can use cedar chips on the outside of your house to keep them from coming in and the spray you can use on the animals and carpet and furniture!!
Good Luck, I know what you are going through!!

Garlic is supposed to work great. I've also heard people using blue or lemon scented Dawn dish soap. Also brewers yeast is supposed to be great. Email me and I'll send the ingredients for doggy flea fighter biscuits.

I've heard that eucalyptus is the answer to flea and tick control...Put them under your furniture, in flower arragements, and every where the culprit is found, and you should get a handle on them...

There is a natural repellent called Neem; you can find it in some pet shampoos.

Garlic (in their food) and pennyroyal oil (on a bandana tied to their collar).
