Getting Rid Of Fleas

Ever since I can remember, we have had cats in our house. When I got married, I brought with me my cat that I had had for years. She lived to be 17, and it broke my heart when we had to put her down. Since then, we have only had one other cat who stole my heart, and unfortunately, he was put to sleep when he was only 2 years old, due to complications with his kidneys. I know it sounds crazy, but I am just not ready to welcome another cat into our home right now.

The one thing I don't miss about having pets are the fleas. My friends uses Promeris for Dogs on her dog, and she says it works well. We had an awful flea infestation, and after several attempts at bombing the house, we finally got rid of them. Since then, I have used Advantage Flea on my cats. I have also used Frontline Plus, and find that it works well, too. I don't miss the days of flea collars. I remember how much our cats hated them when I was growing up.

Not as much as they hated those collars with the bells on them, though, those were really annoying.

Right now we don't have any pets. We have had a dog and a cat plus many other animals. I sure don't miss flea problems that go along with having a pet.

We have always given our pets brewers yeast, the first year we had our two newest additions we forgot about it since the others didn't have any problems this past year we gave them the tablets and it works like a charm! Fleas don't like garlic....
