FYI some of February flea and tick meds you listed can cause death or seizures in dogs. Please do not recommend them with warning people of the side effects.

Our dog got fleas shortly before her death, and left a minor infestation in the house. I read that fleas/eggs/larvae cannot survive when the relative humidity is below 50%. I bought a dehumidifier and kept the relative humidity near 40% and the flea infestation was gone in about 3-4 weeks.

for insect bites I’ve always used acetone industrial strength (yes I have access to it) or nail polish remover works too, safer and does the trick. Told my doctor once and “he blah blah blah poison blah blah blah” If you see the active ingredient on those insect bite pens: Acetone. was using my method for 10 years before insect bite pen came into the market. I self experiment and get lectured. Doctors get paid to experiment on you.

I recall as a child having what was termed hives. I think they must have been fleas and ticks. Maybe this is why the Australian Health System refuses to believe Lyme Disease exists in Australia. I am not aware of any other disease denied anywhere.

A diy and non pesticide way to kill adult fleas is to add 2-5 drops of blue Dawn dishsoap into a spray bottle of water and spray areas. It will not harm carpets or paint or finishes. Do this a couple times a day at first and then once a day for the next three months.

To stop future flea generations spray insect growth repellent ( IGR )once a year inside. If you ever get fleas again they won’t last for more than one generation bc any insect that touches the dried igr won’t be able to have insect babies.

Issues outside shouldnt be treated with the above bc bees and other insects are needed outside. However in damp grassy areas flea nemotides can be bought and placed in the yard and they should eat the fleas.

To prevent them
