to deal with fleas and other problems i use a three pronged tactic. 1st i mix the bedding in the dog house with 5% seven dust every 3 months. 2nd i getrock salt 50# and spreaded it out across the chain spot. i do this eveery 3 months as wewll the salt kills the flea eggs in the ground. last but not least i pyretin10% mix 3oz with about 20 oz of mineral oil.i sppray this on the hound once a week this will keep fleas ticks and fleas away. its basically like using adams spray but its twice as strong and last 10x as long.

yes i do this all year round alot of it is preventive mainnetaice. but this tatic will solve anybodys flea fly and tick problem
