We have 11 acres; spraying would be out of the question: Cost prohibitive
for one and also POISON. No thanks.

I have the bug control people spray a product made of chrysanthemums.
(Costs a small fortune and PA has some agricultural regulations that they
can
only go so many feet from a path or fence line...have I mentioned I don't
grow my own food???) I have never seen a flea but live w/ a LOT of trees
and
brush so ticks can be an issue. At this point, only dogs that are
campaigning are on a topical.

I need some help from “da list.� I have been considering non-poisonous
alternatives to flea and tick control. The bugs are horrible here in NC
and I hate to admit that I HAVE been using the topical poisons. But I feel
they lower the immune system. I can powder the guys with DE—seems pretty
good. I can feed them garlic—that’s pretty good too. What are some
other “
natural� remedies that some of you use? PLEASE share.
