Has anyone used this flea treatment for their cat or dog, and if you have was it any good?

Garlic? Garlic cloves or garlic water sprayed around?

Just in case anyone is wondering, I am NOT the seller of this product on eBay!
Besides, my feedback rating is 100%.

Don't do it. I don't know this particular treatment, but it doesn't look good.
Fleas need chemicals to kill them I'm afraid. Fortunately, modern flea treatments from a VETS (not a pet shop) are quite safe, and effective. Frontline in particular only works on the skin - it has no systemic action, so incidents of problems are all but unheard of. Pet shop or 'natural' treatments cannot make the same claim - and best of all, it doesn't work half the time!
I would never put anything on an animal that I didnt know what it was. Look at that ebay advert for this stuff - 'put a few drops on your animal' - what kind of instructions are those??
Do yourself a favour and stick with safe and effective products from professionals, not random stuff from the internt, you don't know WHAT you'd be buying.

I use a flea control that is recommended by my vet but although it works it is not natural. I have heard that some people use a clove or garlic water based spray that they mix and spray on the dog. I think the natural way is probably healthier for animals. Good for you!

I'm a dog breeder and use garlic capsules daily for my dogs. We have never, in 15 years had a dog with fleas, so it must work!

Hiya, i have been advised before to use tea tree, as the flees dont like it, also they will stay away from citronella, u can buy these concentrated and water down, have heard that feeding garlic in with the food would do too... the odour that the dog then sectretes will put them off. x

I think that you'd be better using Frontline from the Vet.
I asked my Vet about these Flea Collars and she said that they weren't very good
My little black Witch's cat is happy as a Sandboy with Frontline.
Follow Chalice's advice. It's good!

I used happy homemakers carpet powder it works. Use it on my animals dogs and cats use lavender drops so won't hurt them. Sometimes I just use lavender oil only. Just pour some in my hands with a little water and rub it in the fur.

I've never used that and not sure I would. I didn't see a list of ingredients. Check out this page for natural flea control ideas and links:

I've never heard of it. You're better off using 'FRONTLINE.'
ps. I can't understand why it costs £5.25 more to get 1 less bottle....
BUY 3 BOTTLES @ £4.50 GET 1 FREE =£54 for 16 bottles
BULK SPECIAL 15 BOTTLES AT JUST £3.95 A BOTTLE = £59.25 for only 15 bottles.
