    This is unrelated to fleas, but your pic under your signature doesn't work on my end. Is it linked to your personal computer, intead of the net?

    I gotta be an expert on this!

    We live in South Texas...breeding grounds of the BIG FLEA! Because of the heat and sandy enviroment, we have FLEA SEASONS here. We treat our yard with Dursaban (anything from yard and garden centers that has dursaban in it). We do not dulute it alot either, we make it strong. But first...I STRESS THIS ALOT: Be prepared to keep all your animals INSIDE or somewhere else for at least a full day. Spraying your yard in the late evening is best. If its possible, stay in a motel for one night or at a friends house, get some of those d-con or raid room bombs...set them off at the same time you spray outside. After twenty four hours or longer...I gaurantee you won't have any fleas. Do it again two weeks later. We did this on a rent house because it was covered with fleas....its been three years and haven't seen a flea since. We also only treated the yard once a year after that. We bathed our pooches and kitty before going home, we also use the spray mist they sell over the counter too...but only if we leave, like walks down the neighborhood or park. So no 'hitchhikkers allowed' on our poochies! Just a few ideas...we are scratch free! I know it takes time and some work, but its nice seeing your animals sleep peacefully!

    bombing the house sounds like a good idea. I'll have to wait until we get our little kittens homes first and then we will check into doing that. Yeah, it will be nice to see them sleep easy, they're always scratching.

    Thank you for the reply and advice!

    About the pic not showing up on my posts, I have no clue what I've done wrong. I've did the thing and at the end thing and all the in between stuff and all I get out of it is an X where the pic is suppose to go. Any advice on this one??

    I responded to the pics on your puppy shots thread.

    I hope you get it figured out soon.

    Shiloh uses Frontline. Since Killian has liver disease, we can't use it. The liver bb suggested Skin So Soft original by Avon diluted 1:2. I've just started Killian on that. So far, so good.

    Does the Avon stuff really work? I have friends who said it did not work very well. But...their dogs didn't have any liver problems either and I know you have to be careful on what you use.

    We just started Killian on it. I'll compare with Shiloh using Frontline and I'll let you know in a few weeks how good it works. We have to try something very mild with the Kill-Boy!! I sure do hope it works!
