I lived in a ground floor apartment with a small patio. I spread fresh cedar chips all around the patio. It looked nice and was quite effective in keeping fleas away.
From my understanding the Diatomaceous Earth powder doesn't suck the moisture out of fleas. What it does is it sticks to the exoskeleton of the fleas and suffocates them (because insects like fleas, ticks, and bed bugs breathe through their exoskeletons). But it still is a safe method of insect treatment. But just the DE powder alone will not eliminate an infestation. You'll also need to treat the animals (ex: flea combing and bathing with a safe wash like Dawn) as well.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this valuable information… I just recently got a recommendation from a nurse friend of mine that Vet’s Beat works great. I have had two gorgeous beloved German shepherds die from large tumors (belly & brain!)and finally got wise to the fact that the pesticide flea & tick chews probably caused them. So I’m determined to take care of my animals with all NATURAL NON TOXIC products
I'm sorry for your losses but this just makes me so angry! It's just common sense, if you wouldn't eat a pesticide once a month, then why do people think it's okay to feed their animals pesticides!? It's literally insane.
@@jennak.8541same happens with vaccinations too! No human that I know has vaccines every year! Same goes also for the food we feed them! Natural and fresh! Biologically appropriate raw food, (BARF) IS BEST!
I had been fighting a skin problem on one of my dogs with natural products for 5 years. He finally did so much damage I took him to the vet. Was given Simparica 3/28 , by October he had his first seizure , lost the use of his rear legs, eyes were not registering and he was slamming himself into the wall and the legs of my work bench. It took 4 seizures and 6 months for him to go back to normal. I've fed him everything from kangaroo , fish and now we're on to pork. He gets a flea combing 3x a day with a slathering of sunflower oil. I bought food grade diatomaceous earth , yesterday! So I'm glad to hear you recommend it. Thanks for the information.
Wonderful video!! Be careful with the DE though. As a pool guy I can tell U there's a huge difference between Food-Grade DE and DE for pools; but, one thing they have in common is that they are extremely dangerous to inhale. That said, I will now subscribe to your channel! Blessings!! P.S. Don't sweat it about the length of your video, U covered a lot of helpful information in a reasonable amount of time.
It can also mess up your vacuum cleaner if applied over a large floor/rug area. It is like tiny razors. If your pet doesn't have a thick coat, it might be painful, but I don't know.
I have used the first 3 and they do work. As for the yard, use a hose bottle attachment, add dish washing detergent like dawn or Palmolive and spray the entire yard. This not only kills the fleas but it makes your yard very green
Thank you so much!! We are fairly new to Texas and our dog is infected with fleas for the first time in his entire 12-years of life. We did not want to use chemicals in our home. Your information is valuable and I really appreciate you sharing this. There are three stores in the area that sell the products that you mentioned so after taking our dog to the groomers today I will be picking up one of these products to try. Thanks again for this...Blessings!!!!
having a toddler now I am all about safety for him and our dog, this video really helps me keep a safe environment for them thanks for the information!
Good thing for home is the flea trap with light.. sticky pads once it's time to replace simply use water with tiny bit of dish soap and not waste money on the replacement sticky pads. Can get the tiny lights even at Dollar store with 3 bulbs. Trying to use the cookie sheet with light over it is asking for pets to get it spilled etc but buying the actual flea trap ONCE u can then have perfect light not having to worry if light and heat is correct distance to draw fleas toward it. Just check each day to be sure it keeps water in it.. I got flea trap for $15 at Home Depot but it's a one time purchase for perfect container for water n soap from then on to add in the tray
I have used wondercide on my pet floorboards and bedding. I find it works well in combination with capstar or fastcaps, both of which have nitenpyram (a chemical, the active ingredient). Nitenpyram kills fleas n ticks on your pet but does by intercut the life cycle. I like it because you can give it as often as once a day and even to puppies, kittens and pregnant dogs n cats. I am 'assuming' it can't be that bad because of this. Very helpful if you're feeling very desperate and do t want to opt for the ultimate poisons. I've tried diatamaceous earth/silica which is made with yarrow by Buck Mountain. Not very effective for my dog which hikes in the deep woods and likes get really dirty. Btw, I was told that if using Nitenpyram, the con is that if your pet does have a bad reaction there is no antidote, but I have used it with no problems so far. Nothing really works, not Vets Best, nor any of the 'naturals' unless combined with effort on your part to recognize this will be a long process over time of cleaning, washing, washing and cleaning over and over and over. It's exhausting. Spray, sprinkle, treat or what have you, your car, all bedding (yours and your bestie's) the corners of your dwelling and anywhere your pet spends time in, such as under that couch or on the kitchen mat where they live to hang out. One thing I have yet to try which worked really well a few years ago was Kleen Green. It's an enzymatic killer which works on the exoskeleton of the insect. Harmless to mammals, it somehow kills insects. I was weeding deep roots with bushes up to my waist, initially having sprayed myself with Kleen Green, and hours later emerged tickless! This product can only be ordered online. Do your research and try it out. I keep planning to get it but haven't yet. Can't wait to see if it works it's wonders again.
I use diatomaceous Earth but ( here in Vermont ) only early spring and late fall and careful where you put it!...It kills ANY insect that comes in contact with so: even beneficial ones like bees, caterpillars/butterflies etc.
thank-you - enjoyed your presentation. I totally agree with "natural methods". Both pet and human need to cover nose when applying - it will help. You can mix salt with DE, and apply. It is safe. Instead of it "blowing in the wind" (dusty), I find mixing it with water, in a spritz bottle, does the trick as well - without harmful breathing issues. It will dry quickly. (oh - a little in water mixed - will help pets internally as well - not muddy, just tsp in 2 cups - mixed? - should be fine. It will settle below. You can stir periodically as you add water daily.) thanks or sharing...
I think this is a good video overall except I wish people would quit saying Demetrius earth is "completely" safe just because it's food grade. It is NOT!!! It is NOT safe to inhale! It's also not good to get in their eyes. Please do your homework thoroughly people. Dogs sniff around on themselves all the time and may even sniff Demetrius earth they find around the house or yard that you put out for pest control. If animals were given the same value as humans there would be people getting sued for saying it is safe to put on them. BTW, if it's not food grade it can very easily be deadly! Non food grade (like is used for pools for example) should NEVER be eaten or inhaled in any quantity! Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's safe! There are 100's if not 1000's of "natural" things that are bad for us and our pets and in many cases deadly!
@@jeffroid_tv yes it will kill you! It is a silica which absorbs moisture and turns into a cement type of consistency and cakes the lungs causing suffocation. It will also cause one hell of a lung infection so perhaps you should educate yourself a bit better.
@@jeffroid_tv it's common sense you fool and I refuse to try and prove a negative. Exactly where is your proof that refutes my facts? Why not spend an afternoon working in the ER like I do on a daily basis and then spew more of your toxic knowledge!
Thank you for the information. Sorry I didn't watch your video before I put Advantixx 11 on our dog. He is having a real hard time. I just gave him a bath with mild shampoo with Lavender oil. Will definitely use all natural products in the future.
Diatomaceous is very fine and dusty-spread it on your rug and it winds up on your ceiling fan blades. Supposedly doesn’t work for long in a humid climate. My advice if you discover you have a flea infestation-don’t waste any time-vacuum all the floors, especially the carpets, throughly and frequently the first two weeks, including the baseboards and in corners. Of course, use your vet’s recommendation for flea control for your pet. She knows what works best in your area of the country.
Thank you SO Much for giving naturalistic options to get rid of fleas etc. I bought a large bag of food grade DE and unsure of how to use it. Thank you for your guidance and your informative review.!
Awesome video! I just purchased Vets best and I do like the smell. Not sure if its working yet, but I am definitely purchasing the wondercide as a backup.

Diatomaceous earth is great But breathing it in can cause lung problems for us as well as our pets, so when applying it to them or to bedding, yard, etc. it must be done carefully as to not breathe the dust!
My friends and I purchased food grade diatomaceous earth and I put half teaspoon per cat in cat food with "gravy" every morning. My friend puts it in her dog's water. I also drink it in my tea daily. Her 15 year old dog has zero issues with parasites or skin. Vet says DE is amazing for her.
I've had great success with diatomaceous earth. I mix it with water and spray it where needed. Once dry, it leaves a nice film of the D.E. - this meeting works great for carpet, walls (inside and out), bushes and even the yard. It wakes away with rain, but normal morning dew doesn't seem to affect it. I've also applied it directly to my cats using a very wet washcloth, which worked pretty well. D.E. is very, very safe to eat and in fact has a lot of benefits if you do (kills parasites, detoxes, helps with digestive issues like IBD in cats, and several others). It's cheap and it's arguably the safest method that actually works to get rid of insects (ants, fleas, ticks, spiders, cockroaches, slugs etc, etc)
We have tried a lemon grass spray before, we sprayed our cats beds and they would not go near the beds anymore until I set the beds outside and aired them out for like 3 days. Also, with cats, good luck with them allowing you to put it on them. We even tried spraying it in our hands to rub it through their fur. No dice there and then they become afraid to let you touch them for a day or so. Don't use lemon grass scented sprays. That's the only one of those we've tried so far.
Houston skimming by. Just started DE on my boxer an working great. Been a month an no fleas. I advise using a glove while putting down the back to the tail then around the neck. Less is more. Rub in under hair. Done. Nice video info. TY
I got the Seresto collar, and my cat healed instantly, no more bumps, no scratching, and no fleas. But... I am still getting eaten around the ankles by them. I have been spraying "Adams" around the house, trying to create a toxic environment for fleas, especially in and around the bed. Thanks for the video.
Try salt all over the floor. It helps. Vacuum about every other day, pour salt sll over floor after vacuuming. Water trays with dawn in the water. In my house, have tried baking soda with no success. Just salt. Flea comb the dog every chance you get. Constant battle. But I won't use chemicals.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH US! This is going to be able to help so many animals from being poisoned like many stories I've heard in the past from harsh Flea and tick topical chemicals. It was very interesting and you should have made it a 20 min video just to piss off the dumbed down miserable dimwits who are probably impatient with everything and anyone.

I just bought a concentrate made by Natural Ginesis a few months ago. I dilute it 1oz concentrate to 7oz water in a spray bottle. Sprayed my dog thoroughly and rubbed it in. Went hiking with him for a few hours. He loves to get really dirty and roll in leaves, so he's your perfect tester. It worked. I found maybe one or two ticks if any. Usually 10+ tick count. This stuff really works. It's supposed for ticks, fleas, Luce, bed bugs, dust mites, mosquitoes. It's non toxic. Not harmful if swallowed (wow). It causes the insects to molt and shed their shell through an enzymatic reaction. It's a bit $$, but totally worth buying something that actually works and doesn't make your dog smell like potpourri.

I live in an apartment complex that doesn't spray for fleas and I mix a half bottle of apple cider vinegar and half bottle water together and spray it on my dog before taking her out, making sure to rub it down into her skin. I really kind of soak her in the morning when I first go out and then spritz her again lightly each time I take her out and it keeps the fleas off. She likes the taste of it and it's good for her so she licks it off sometimes. She's a poodle mix so I have to make sure it gets down to her skin. Every so often hopefully we'll get on her when I don't spray her good enough. Cheap natural spray. It works for me.
HI. Thanks for sharing. Very nice video. - Only thing Id add is that diatomaceous earth works by scratching, slicing through the waxy outer layer and then they dry out. So might want to be careful when breathing.
I've used DE for years and its got many good uses. That said, I decided to experiment, put a few teaspoons into a small jar, I put 10 live fleas into the jar and shook it up, the next day those fleas were as lively as ever, day 2 they still didn't seem to be dying. Lesson learned. I wish it was effective
Hi and thanks for the information. Very informative. I have been asking my vet, and she only tell me the most expensive things on the market. Which is the toxic crap, LOL I really appreciate your information and thank you so much.
I mix DE, borax and tee tree and lavender essentials. I put all in a large jar and lid it and shake. I sprinkle it all over my pets BIG cushions while the covers are washing, food grade I put in their food, on carpet and on furniture. I sweep it into the fibers then leave it for 24 hours. I then vacuum like crazy. I also twice a year put baking soda all over our mattress and let it sit all day while at work, the come home and vacuum well.
Maggie Mae Miniature Dachshunds world is it safe to feed the DE to your dog daily? My friend has puppies that she's giving away and I would like one, but the whole flea and tick thing is freaking me out. I am researching on how to keep my home smelling clean, and free of fleas and ticks with a pet.
@@philpattemore7140hi .. I find tea tree oil in dog shampoos. I'd like to know why it's harmful to pets. I don't want to add it to any sprays I make for fleas and ticks. Thanks
Some of these products are worth checking into further, but I tried that Vet's Best with the Peppermint oil only on the living room carpet... it doesn't work for every one. For me, It did NOT smell like Christmas, it smelled HORRIBLE! Such a strong odor that I MYSELF could not breathe! i couldn't let my cats into the room for over a week, even after airing it we could not go in without all of us wheezing... Did some more research...Found out peppermint oil and clove oil are both toxic to cats... and apparently to me too, in that concentration!... not doing that again. I might try it on the lawn this fall. I don't go out there much... definitely checking ingredients before I try anything else though!
The DE works no doubt but ONLY on the spot where it sticks to your pet. It’s really hard to get it on their belly etc and that’s where the fleas will go.
Hi, there!! 😊🌸 I'm right down the freeway..San Diego .. I''ll have to try your pet store one day - I tried to use that diatomatious earth a couple of times, but I have copd and massive allergies from pollen so I had to stop using it in my dog's food. Thank you for your video!! Have a nice day!! 😊🌸
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I have used the Vets best but my dog seems to have a problem with it. He may be allergic to it his skin seems to get very hot after I put it on him. I will try one of the products you talk about here. Thank you
Thank you mam so much for making this vidioe . Me and my lil dog had walked and had entered into a flea infestation a week ago . I had to get my lil dog to the vet . I've spent at least 350 this week . In one week. My lil dog suffered from the flea bombs neaurigucally . I cudda pure cried . Suffered a seaizure .
I heard of NexGard killing dogs, is that true? we use to apply my dog K9 advantix for fleas and ticks, it worked well, but we have a toddler now at home, and want to give him
Thank you very much for your time ,Bosswell is 80 lb pink skined dog and in alaska some summers are just atrosus for fleas , going to try the earth one ,i have little grand childeren and a very fussy daughter , ill show her your site and she then will belive me ,Terri Marx Ketchikan Alaska
I had a cat, and found out I was allergic to her. I had to get rid of her, but she had fleas. I just bought vets best. I was wondering how it smelled. Thanks for the video.
She's Talking about FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth, not the stuff you get in your garden center for pools. And yes it works. also fresh lemons halved, boiled, squeezed and strained, cooled, then transferred to a spray bottle then sprayed on the carpet then vacuumed after dry. haven't had as good of a result from concentrated lemon juice.
i've come upon your video quite late here as i am just now having flea issues in my yard because of stray cats...i did use the vets best lawn and yard spray before seeing this, and that has helped a lot, so far only third day. i have also vacuumed my house daily, and spray a homemade spray that i made with peppermint oil, clove oil and a little neem oil all over my house daily (i know the vets best has two of those oils). i was, however, wondering, if i could still get the nematodes for the yard and garden, or if the vets best would kill them too? thanks so much for such an informative video using natural and safe products!!!! :)
I use frontline plus on my cat and DE on floor and furniture. I have DE dust everywhere and it is visible. Once a week I vacuum and spray with pets+ vet. I've been doing this almost a year and no results. please be careful with pets+vet lot of people allergic to it. I wear mask and gloves when I spray it and leave the room for a couple of hours until it drys otherwise my eyes, lips and tongue swells up.
Thanks for posting. I just found a flea on my little boy, he was scratching like crazy and I've gotten a few bites myself. I definitely like the natural remedies. Thanks for the suggestions.
Yeah I got this natural care + flea and tick home spray and it took me almost a week to get an answer to if I could spray it on my dogs and if it would hurt them if they licked it off smelled good but did nothing as far as getting rid of fleas I went and got some Happy Jack at tractor supply and yeah after one application I’m seeing fewer fleas ...
Btw, if buck mountain's product is called something dust. I can't recall. If diat dehydrates how is it safe to ingest? Nitenpyram does not interrupt the lifecycle . Sorry, that was a typo.
If Diatomaceous Earth can dry out a himans hand and hair while applying it to a pet how can a pet eat it? Wouldn't dry out there insides? Great information on natural pet products. Thank you!
Thank you for making this great video thank you for taking the time and explaining everything appreciate it from a local person here in San Diego will be in your shop soon thank you I don't know if it's still open let me know thanks
I've used Diamateous Earth on my pets & they scratched more than just from the fleas. So it really must have a drying effect or could it be from the tiny shells in the product?
Great video but two quick questions. I use diatomaceous earth outside all the time for ants and ticks. Willet diatomaceous earth kill the nematodes? Can I use both at the same time? Forgive me if this is a silly question but will using them lead to a nematode infestation? I'm worried about them getting into the house. Lol. But you said they Perry ground so that doesn't seem likely. I'll always try to think of everything and every possibility. How do you keep the cats from getting any of the diatomaceous earth in their eyes? My cat tends to rub her eyes with her paws a lot when she's grooming. Also I don't really know if Vets Best is good or bad. I read reviews some animals getting sick and dying from the peppermint oil because it is toxic to cats. Other people say it's fantastic and works great for getting rid of fleas. I have a cat so I really don't know I should try it or not. It could be very confusing when I read these mixed reviews. Do you know of a more natural monthly treatment other than advantage? I just started using it on my pad, but very concerned about any long-term effects. Great information! thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! What do I do for my dog if the food grade DE makes her skin dry? I plan on using a small amount but I am scared that her skin will become too itchy and dry.
Putting the DE in their food can make them constipated so watch for that. I have put DE in the fur in places around the neck or back of my cat but not too much and not rubbed into the skin. It can also be sprinkled around baseboards where insects tend to crawl. It cuts through the insect exoskeleton and they die of dehydration.
I sprayed wondercide on my dog (lemongrass scent) and she started salivating and running. I may try a different scent to see if she is allergic to lemongrass.

@@jeffroid_tv yes it will kill you! It is a silica which absorbs moisture and turns into a cement type of consistency and cakes the lungs causing suffocation. It will also cause one hell of a lung infection so perhaps you should educate yourself a bit better.
@@jeffroid_tv it's common sense you fool and I refuse to try and prove a negative. Exactly where is your proof that refutes my facts? Why not spend an afternoon working in the ER like I do on a daily basis and then spew more of your toxic knowledge!
@@zebfox011 Lmao! Yea... I did not think so! Bye Felicia!!! NEXT!!!
Thank you for the information. Sorry I didn't watch your video before I put Advantixx 11 on our dog. He is having a real hard time. I just gave him a bath with mild shampoo with Lavender oil. Will definitely use all natural products in the future.
I have used the Natures Best and it works really good. Also my cat loves the stuff, they roll in it.
Diatomaceous is very fine and dusty-spread it on your rug and it winds up on your ceiling fan blades. Supposedly doesn’t work for long in a humid climate. My advice if you discover you have a flea infestation-don’t waste any time-vacuum all the floors, especially the carpets, throughly and frequently the first two weeks, including the baseboards and in corners. Of course, use your vet’s recommendation for flea control for your pet. She knows what works best in your area of the country.
Thank you SO Much for giving naturalistic options to get rid of fleas etc. I bought a large bag of food grade DE and unsure of how to use it. Thank you for your guidance and your informative review.!
Awesome video! I just purchased Vets best and I do like the smell. Not sure if its working yet, but I am definitely purchasing the wondercide as a backup.

Diatomaceous earth is great But breathing it in can cause lung problems for us as well as our pets, so when applying it to them or to bedding, yard, etc. it must be done carefully as to not breathe the dust!
My friends and I purchased food grade diatomaceous earth and I put half teaspoon per cat in cat food with "gravy" every morning. My friend puts it in her dog's water. I also drink it in my tea daily. Her 15 year old dog has zero issues with parasites or skin. Vet says DE is amazing for her.
It's so important that people understand this, especially for people who already have breathing problems
Will it wash away in the yard when watering the yard (applied to the yard)?
I've had great success with diatomaceous earth. I mix it with water and spray it where needed. Once dry, it leaves a nice film of the D.E. - this meeting works great for carpet, walls (inside and out), bushes and even the yard. It wakes away with rain, but normal morning dew doesn't seem to affect it. I've also applied it directly to my cats using a very wet washcloth, which worked pretty well. D.E. is very, very safe to eat and in fact has a lot of benefits if you do (kills parasites, detoxes, helps with digestive issues like IBD in cats, and several others). It's cheap and it's arguably the safest method that actually works to get rid of insects (ants, fleas, ticks, spiders, cockroaches, slugs etc, etc)

We have tried a lemon grass spray before, we sprayed our cats beds and they would not go near the beds anymore until I set the beds outside and aired them out for like 3 days. Also, with cats, good luck with them allowing you to put it on them. We even tried spraying it in our hands to rub it through their fur. No dice there and then they become afraid to let you touch them for a day or so. Don't use lemon grass scented sprays. That's the only one of those we've tried so far.
Thanks for the info! Also the laughs. I'm going to UPtalk, in almost every SENtence, and sound like I'm asking endless QUEStions. LoL
Houston skimming by. Just started DE on my boxer an working great. Been a month an no fleas. I advise using a glove while putting down the back to the tail then around the neck. Less is more. Rub in under hair. Done. Nice video info. TY
I got the Seresto collar, and my cat healed instantly, no more bumps, no scratching, and no fleas. But... I am still getting eaten around the ankles by them. I have been spraying "Adams" around the house, trying to create a toxic environment for fleas, especially in and around the bed. Thanks for the video.
Seresta collar is v dangerous...look up google it's dangers dogs dying ..listed in area where there are 2020-2021 dog and cat food recalls
I used to use Seresto also till I found out recently that around 15 hundred dogs/cats have died from it. That’s what brought me to this video.
My cat is totally perfect after 6 months on Seresto, and my ankles are not bleeding from scratching fleas. She's a tough little rescue kitty.
Seresto gave my dog horrible seizures. I will never use chemicals on her.
Try salt all over the floor. It helps. Vacuum about every other day, pour salt sll over floor after vacuuming. Water trays with dawn in the water. In my house, have tried baking soda with no success. Just salt. Flea comb the dog every chance you get. Constant battle. But I won't use chemicals.
I add green clay powder and neem leaf powder to my DE . Great video.
Very helpful and informative video...
Thanks a lot for sharing ....
Thank you for taking the time out to share this information... very helpful
Wondercide is amazing! I have 5 indoor dogs and this stuff works great. I actually like the scent.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH US! This is going to be able to help so many animals from being poisoned like many stories I've heard in the past from harsh Flea and tick topical chemicals. It was very interesting and you should have made it a 20 min video just to piss off the dumbed down miserable dimwits who are probably impatient with everything and anyone.
I love your attitude! What a joy!
You're a God sent! Thanks so much and God bless you sister for this vital info😇🙏

I just bought a concentrate made by Natural Ginesis a few months ago. I dilute it 1oz concentrate to 7oz water in a spray bottle. Sprayed my dog thoroughly and rubbed it in. Went hiking with him for a few hours. He loves to get really dirty and roll in leaves, so he's your perfect tester. It worked. I found maybe one or two ticks if any. Usually 10+ tick count. This stuff really works. It's supposed for ticks, fleas, Luce, bed bugs, dust mites, mosquitoes. It's non toxic. Not harmful if swallowed (wow). It causes the insects to molt and shed their shell through an enzymatic reaction. It's a bit $$, but totally worth buying something that actually works and doesn't make your dog smell like potpourri.

+Hagar Yanay What are the ingredients in Natural Ginesis?
Just enzymes; looks good! www.naturalginesis.com/kleen-green/
@@judyg9889 this does nothing to protect the animal from getting the pests on them in the first place...which IMO is the place to start before bringing them inside and keeping them off in the first place
Thanks for the information. The Nematodes sounded fantastic! I Subscribed and will check out your website.
Thanks! I'd never heard of nematodes, but that sounds like a good idea. Going to look into that.
Thanks for sharing the informative video.
I could watch more of your videos. You're easy on the eyes. 😉
Thank You! Obviously, you TRULY CARE about what's BEST for our ENTIRE family (both 2 & 4 legged members)! I sincerely APPRECIATE & RESPECT you for CARING & sharing your knowledge! Best Wishes 2u & your family!🤗

I live in an apartment complex that doesn't spray for fleas and I mix a half bottle of apple cider vinegar and half bottle water together and spray it on my dog before taking her out, making sure to rub it down into her skin. I really kind of soak her in the morning when I first go out and then spritz her again lightly each time I take her out and it keeps the fleas off. She likes the taste of it and it's good for her so she licks it off sometimes. She's a poodle mix so I have to make sure it gets down to her skin. Every so often hopefully we'll get on her when I don't spray her good enough. Cheap natural spray. It works for me.
HI. Thanks for sharing. Very nice video. - Only thing Id add is that diatomaceous earth works by scratching, slicing through the waxy outer layer and then they dry out. So might want to be careful when breathing.
I've used DE for years and its got many good uses. That said, I decided to experiment, put a few teaspoons into a small jar, I put 10 live fleas into the jar and shook it up, the next day those fleas were as lively as ever, day 2 they still didn't seem to be dying. Lesson learned. I wish it was effective
Did you let it go anywhere past the second day mark? I'm just curious
Hi and thanks for the information. Very informative. I have been asking my vet, and she only tell me the most expensive things on the market. Which is the toxic crap, LOL
I really appreciate your information and thank you so much.
I mix DE, borax and tee tree and lavender essentials. I put all in a large jar and lid it and shake. I sprinkle it all over my pets BIG cushions while the covers are washing, food grade I put in their food, on carpet and on furniture. I sweep it into the fibers then leave it for 24 hours. I then vacuum like crazy. I also twice a year put baking soda all over our mattress and let it sit all day while at work, the come home and vacuum well.
Maggie Mae Miniature Dachshunds world is it safe to feed the DE to your dog daily? My friend has puppies that she's giving away and I would like one, but the whole flea and tick thing is freaking me out. I am researching on how to keep my home smelling clean, and free of fleas and ticks with a pet.
Tea tree oil is not good for pets
@@philpattemore7140hi .. I find tea tree oil in dog shampoos. I'd like to know why it's harmful to pets. I don't want to add it to any sprays I make for fleas and ticks. Thanks
Some of these products are worth checking into further, but I tried that Vet's Best with the Peppermint oil only on the living room carpet... it doesn't work for every one. For me, It did NOT smell like Christmas, it smelled HORRIBLE! Such a strong odor that I MYSELF could not breathe! i couldn't let my cats into the room for over a week, even after airing it we could not go in without all of us wheezing... Did some more research...Found out peppermint oil and clove oil are both toxic to cats... and apparently to me too, in that concentration!... not doing that again. I might try it on the lawn this fall. I don't go out there much... definitely checking ingredients before I try anything else though!
The DE works no doubt but ONLY on the spot where it sticks to your pet. It’s really hard to get it on their belly etc and that’s where the fleas will go.
You could mix it with tiny bit coconut oil and rub it deep into their coat.
Hi, there!! 😊🌸 I'm right down the freeway..San Diego .. I''ll have to try your pet store one day -
I tried to use that diatomatious earth a couple of times, but I have copd and massive allergies from pollen so I had to stop using it in my dog's food.
Thank you for your video!! Have a nice day!! 😊🌸
You should get paid for all the things you have to sale here! I love the effort! Just not what I wanted to watch, or looking for!
how much water do you put in benificial nematodes. thanks. what a great video
I am about to buy the Vets best flea and tick now.
I hope it works for My Puppy.
Great info.
Great video, what are your thoughts on dog and cat vaccines? Which ones are harmful and which ones are good for pets?
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I have used the Vets best but my dog seems to have a problem with it. He may be allergic to it his skin seems to get very hot after I put it on him. I will try one of the products you talk about here. Thank you
Thank You so much! I can't wait to get mine!
Thanks so much! This was very helpful!
WAS JUST WONDERING,CAN YOU PLEASE ALSO DO A VIDEO ON AT HOME CARE FOR “WORMING” A 3/4 MONTH OLD KITTEN? Thanks For Sharing
Thank you mam so much for making this vidioe . Me and my lil dog had walked and had entered into a flea infestation a week ago . I had to get my lil dog to the vet . I've spent at least 350 this week . In one week. My lil dog suffered from the flea bombs neaurigucally . I cudda pure cried . Suffered a seaizure .
Peace & Unity love the information I have two French Bullies and this info will really benefit them greatly thank you!
Thank you. Your video has been very helpful.
Very nice video, good info thanks for sharing.
aphotowarrior too long . Get to the point.
I heard of NexGard killing dogs, is that true? we use to apply my dog K9 advantix for fleas and ticks, it worked well, but we have a toddler now at home, and want to give him
Thank you very much for your time ,Bosswell is 80 lb pink skined dog and in alaska some summers are just atrosus for fleas , going to try the earth one ,i have little grand childeren and a very fussy daughter , ill show her your site and she then will belive me ,Terri Marx Ketchikan Alaska
I had a cat, and found out I was allergic to her. I had to get rid of her, but she had fleas. I just bought vets best. I was wondering how it smelled. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for responding to my question
I will be trying 🙏 I have a 3 pound Yorkie and I'm so afraid of those flea pills!!!
I’m in the same boat, have u found something?
She's Talking about FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous Earth, not the stuff you get in your garden center for pools. And yes it works. also fresh lemons halved, boiled, squeezed and strained, cooled, then transferred to a spray bottle then sprayed on the carpet then vacuumed after dry. haven't had as good of a result from concentrated lemon juice.
i've come upon your video quite late here as i am just now having flea issues in my yard because of stray cats...i did use the vets best lawn and yard spray before seeing this, and that has helped a lot, so far only third day. i have also vacuumed my house daily, and spray a homemade spray that i made with peppermint oil, clove oil and a little neem oil all over my house daily (i know the vets best has two of those oils). i was, however, wondering, if i could still get the nematodes for the yard and garden, or if the vets best would kill them too? thanks so much for such an informative video using natural and safe products!!!! :)
DE works but it takes a little while. It's also very abrasive which if overused, may irritate ur pets skin.
Skin so soft cut with 50% water
I use frontline plus on my cat and DE on floor and furniture. I have DE dust everywhere and it is visible. Once a week I vacuum and spray with pets+ vet. I've been doing this almost a year and no results.
please be careful with pets+vet lot of people allergic to it. I wear mask and gloves when I spray it and leave the room for a couple of hours until it drys otherwise my eyes, lips and tongue swells up.
Thanks to take your time to share this with us. Can i use it on my sofa, mattress, couch?
Thank you for all the information can i use it on my mattress, couch?
Thanks for posting. I just found a flea on my little boy, he was scratching like crazy and I've gotten a few bites myself. I definitely like the natural remedies. Thanks for the suggestions.
Thank you, very helpfull!
Yeah I got this natural care + flea and tick home spray and it took me almost a week to get an answer to if I could spray it on my dogs and if it would hurt them if they licked it off smelled good but did nothing as far as getting rid of fleas I went and got some Happy Jack at tractor supply and yeah after one application I’m seeing fewer fleas ...
Q: What works for CIGGERS ? Preferably for humans and cats ? Local VET said ciggers don't bother cats ?
Thank you very much for this informative Video
Btw, if buck mountain's product is called something dust. I can't recall. If diat dehydrates how is it safe to ingest? Nitenpyram does not interrupt the lifecycle . Sorry, that was a typo.
If Diatomaceous Earth can dry out a himans hand and hair while applying it to a pet how can a pet eat it? Wouldn't dry out there insides?
Great information on natural pet products. Thank you!
That powder kills bed bugs too
Would you happen to know if VapoRub is good for ticks, mosquito's, etc ???
Thanks for sharing.
I think Wondercide is pretty good too. I've used it and saw a difference
Thank you for making this great video thank you for taking the time and explaining everything appreciate it from a local person here in San Diego will be in your shop soon thank you I don't know if it's still open let me know thanks
Are these products ok for dogs with allergies
What do you think about coconut oil uses?
I've used Diamateous Earth on my pets & they scratched more than just from the fleas. So it really must have a drying effect or could it be from the tiny shells in the product?
Great video but two quick questions. I use diatomaceous earth outside all the time for ants and ticks. Willet diatomaceous earth kill the nematodes? Can I use both at the same time? Forgive me if this is a silly question but will using them lead to a nematode infestation? I'm worried about them getting into the house. Lol. But you said they Perry ground so that doesn't seem likely. I'll always try to think of everything and every possibility. How do you keep the cats from getting any of the diatomaceous earth in their eyes? My cat tends to rub her eyes with her paws a lot when she's grooming. Also I don't really know if Vets Best is good or bad. I read reviews some animals getting sick and dying from the peppermint oil because it is toxic to cats. Other people say it's fantastic and works great for getting rid of fleas. I have a cat so I really don't know I should try it or not. It could be very confusing when I read these mixed reviews. Do you know of a more natural monthly treatment other than advantage? I just started using it on my pad, but very concerned about any long-term effects. Great information! thank you so much!
Thank you. Great info.
Links to products would make your videos extremely useful. Just under the vids as is often done.
can i use this spray on myself?
Thank you for this video! What do I do for my dog if the food grade DE makes her skin dry? I plan on using a small amount but I am scared that her skin will become too itchy and dry.
Putting the DE in their food can make them constipated so watch for that. I have put DE in the fur in places around the neck or back of my cat but not too much and not rubbed into the skin. It can also be sprinkled around baseboards where insects tend to crawl. It cuts through the insect exoskeleton and they die of dehydration.
Great vid! Thanks! Careful on you or your pets, inhaling the diatomaceous powder!
TRY WOOD VINEGAR, $5 FOR A LITER (QUART).
What's that?
About wood vinegar, how do I apply and where to buy? Thanks Army Guy 👍. If you served in the military, thank you for your service.
Thank you for a great informational video! :)
Thank you for this video very informative but can you let me know the name of the powder. Thank you
Thank You that was very informative 😇
But does the worms that you are talking about hurt chickens?
Where can I buy the Diatomaceous Earth powder
I sprayed wondercide on my dog (lemongrass scent) and she started salivating and running. I may try a different scent to see if she is allergic to lemongrass.
