My dogs got fleas from the backyard. I want to treat the grass & dogs naturally. Does anyone know if fleas have any enemies? Like mice have cats, and cats have dogs, ect. I would like to treat the yard with whatever will hopefully eat the fleas! Thanks so much.

Diatomaceous earth(DE). You can spread this around your yard, and rub it into your dogs fur. It will kill fleas. Just make sure you get the food grade DE.
Its all natural and very effective.
If your dogs go inside the house you'll also need to treat that as well.

that isn't any longer a stupid question, and certain, they could. they could get on your backyard from different canine and cats merely passing via, or different issues... Edit: I had an previous pink heeler about a year previous, he were given so infested with fleas you need to work out thousands and thousands via his thick, pink fur. They were throughout him and he become extremely getting ill from it. What we did, we were given break of day Dish cleansing soap and punctiliously washed him with it, it worked completely! We watched thousands die and fall off accurate then. We went out an afternoon later and we stated no longer something. i become so chuffed! He greater on a daily basis and become decrease back to his previous self very right now! absolutely try break of day dish cleansing soap on them for the fleas.. And mange? Ohmygosh call your nearest SPCA on them, that is observed as animal cruelty no longer taking them to the vet... that is loopy and extremely unhappy that people enable this ensue.

I don't think they do, exept from the animal that they are on, I suggest you treat the dog with anti-flea shampoo.

i know there are some chickens that are good for tick control - many of the yard sprays contain plant based pyrethrins ..... FRontline for dogs once a month per package instructions is probably your best bet

GARLIC!!!!!
i am not kidding.
my dog had fleas so bad last year and nothing i did made any difference until my vet told me a interesting little trick.
rub garlic powder into your dogs fur.
and add a tablespoon full into its food.
it works REALLY well
