About this deal

Once your dog gets fleas it is imperative that you do your best to eradicate them as soon as possible. However, you should keep in mind that exposure to water can shorten the flea collar’s lifespan. Even if the collar is water-resistant, it will start losing its efficiency if it is exposed to water frequently. The smell is extremely strong, though, so you’ll likely want to use it sparingly. Also, it’s fairly expensive, which is somewhat surprising, given it doesn’t have any costly pesticides inside. You can spread this diatomaceous earth practically anywhere, such as by dusting carpets, surrounding the legs of furniture, placing in corners, or spreading in your yard and garden. It’s best to target problem areas, since the light powder needs to be reapplied occasionally.

Rubbing (Isopropyl) alcohol also has a strong scent that keeps dogs away (and often most people as well). Simply soak cotton balls in rubbing alcohol and set them in problem areas. The same advice applies for rubbing alcohol as for ammonia in many ways, but don’t ever spray rubbing alcohol. 13. Dog Poop As a bonus, citrus peelings will also help keep ants and aphids away from your soil and plants. 5. Garlic and Chili Pepper Alexas_Fotos / Pixabay Several types of nematodes are sold in stores. However, the ones you should get are beneficial parasitic nematodes. They are natural predators of various insects.

How do dogs get ticks?

Flea collars are convenient to use because they release medication slowly, over several months, and are less messy than topical treatments. However, they're best considered supplemental options. We consulted with Kristen Riley-Wheeler, a vet tech at Abbot Road Animal Clinic in East Lansing, Michigan, and other veterinary sources for this article, and have concluded that oral or topical solutions should be preferred by most pet owners. It will kill them, however, and it also takes out eggs and larvae. Unfortunately, you have to hit them with a good amount of the stuff first, so it may not be time- or cost-effective as a solution. Likewise, while you can spray it on carpets and bedding, it’s not going to do much good unless you can see what you’re shooting at.

This spray is safe for use on bedding and does not contain any medications or synthetic chemicals, making it an excellent choice for pet owners who prefer natural remedies. It also contains vitamin E, which can help soothe your dog’s irritated skin. Deltamethrin is derived from the chrysanthemum flower, and is safe for humans but toxic to fish and insects. Propoxur is toxic to humans and a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, fleas, moths, and more.The list is a long and alarming one, and any dog owner's knee-jerk reaction will be to throw away anything from repellents to dog shampoo. But is it really that dangerous? You can apply this natural lemon and eucalyptus oil to your skin or gear, and it doesn’t leave a greasy residue like a lot of other options. This is also a great option if other products tend to irritate your skin, though you’ll still want to read the ingredients. However, if you’re not a fan of lemon or eucalyptus scents, I wouldn’t suggest buying this one. These scents aren’t overpowering, but they’re definitely noticeable. The first time I took Maggie to the vet as a puppy, I heard a whole lot of terms that didn’t make any sense to me. Thomas Russo, M.D., professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York, also recommends DEET and picaridin. “There’s the most data with those,” he says. Dr. Russo also suggests looking for formulations that are made up of 20% to 30% of these ingredients for everyday use. “You definitely don’t want less or more than that,” he says. “This will give you about eight hours of protection.” If it is not the right time of the day to apply nematodes, store them in the fridge, but mind the temperature. For best results, use them as soon as you can. Otherwise, they will gradually die.

You love your canine best friend, but doesn’t mean you’re impressed when he keeps getting into your plants or vegetable garden. He digs up your ornamental flowers before they have a chance to thrive, and does his business in all the wrong places. Fortunately, dog repellent can help. There are numerous insect repellent options for canines, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. Your veterinarian can recommend the optimal option based on the specific requirements of your companion. 2. How frequently should I use insect repellent on my dog? Simparica Trio requires a prescription from a veterinarian and is available in six sizes according to weight. It's safe for puppies as young as eight weeks old and weighing at least 2.8 pounds. Harris Diatomaceous Earth is available in a four pound bag, and 10-percent of profits are donated to the Etowah Valley Humane Society in Georgia. As much as we love them, dogs can seriously harm our gardens and lawns. If your dog is digging up plants, you need a safe, dog-friendly way to keep him or her away from your flowers and vegetables. Most importantly, these methods need to be cost-effective, and safe for your pup if he were to get to the plants despite your best efforts.

Of course, it only works as long as it’s attached to your dog, so if it comes off while he’s outside he’s likely to come home with company attached. Also, it’s not adjustable, so if you have a growing dog, you may want to wait until he’s reached his full size and weight before investing in one of these. The smell isn’t bad (assuming you like oranges), it’s just overpowering. It will linger on your pet (and in your house) for days after an application. And it doesn’t seem to bother bugs at all, as they’ll still jump at the chance to jump on your pup. EPA-registered products – these are considered “pesticides” and are available over-the-counter, without a prescription. They are generally safe and effective when used as advised on the label but not necessarily when used for different purposes, for example, on a cat instead of a dog. They wait in grassy or wooded areas for animals to lay down so they can catch a ride. They also reach out their arms to grab onto animals that walk past them, so they can jump onto dogs from nearly anywhere.

While this collar is surprisingly effective and a great investment, it has a few flaws that prevent it from ranking in our top three.
