Adding yeast to the food and supplementing B vitamin intake isn't going to hurt per nutrition. It might even help the skin a little. Doubtful it will do anything for fleas. Neither is there any scientific evidence that garlic repells fleas.

The pyrethrin spray is a natural insecticide per the African Daisy. The carbamyl compounds found in flea powders are known carcinogens and sort of scarey to use on one's pet.

Currently I depend on the Program embedded in the monthly heartworm preventative Sentinel to sterilize the female flea and break the life cycle at the egg stage. Never had any luck in applying the Advantage and/or have it really work. When my two pick up a few stray fleas from the neighbor's dog I depend on the old fashioned flea trap which consists of a nightlight with a sticky pad underneath. Recently it has been averaging about 2 fleas per night. If one has a heavy infestation in the house it's not unusual to catch 20-50 per night. Not effective for heavy infestation, but will nab an occaisonal stray flea during the night. Place where the dog likes to sleep.
