Fleas: Pullex Irritans homeopathic, Cedarcide Reported toxicity of borax as flea killer FLEAS!

[Guest guest]

Tropical Florida appears to have the worst flea/insect problems; probably the entire Gulf Coast area too. HOMEOPATHIC BORAX is fine for other purposes. Pullex irritans homeopathic is made from fleas, and a spray may help. USE FOOD GRADE ONLY DIATOMACEOUS EARTH; NOT ALL SUPPLIERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. Luke's Pet Supply in midstate Florida sells that and 100% cedar oil Cedarcide, which some claim works perfectly for them; the whole home, especially behind walls, can be fogged with Cedarcide and DE with no toxic effects for general public.To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Sent: Tue, January 24, 2012 7:01:50 PMSubject: Re: Reported toxicity of borax as flea killer FLEAS!

thanks for the info, went + got my D.E. today and new grain free dog food, got the Staphosogria remedy on order. I know borax wouldn't work for us, when I tried to used it as a non-toxic cleaner my chemically very sensitive little one reacted to it, nosebleeds + probably plenty of screaming, if I remember correctly.

Re: FLEAS!

I give my pets a garlic/brewer’s yeast powder on their food daily and it keeps fleas away. The fleas don’t like the garlic smell apparently. I also put 2000 Mule Team Borax powder (found in laundry section of store) on the carpets over night and then vacuum it up in the morning. If you have a problem in your house already, do this every time you vacuum so it will break the flea cycle. Hope that helps.

I could use any advice...I recently moved to a tick/flea area from AZ (no fleas + tics) and now my daughters service dog has fleas (yes, in the middle of winter!) Needless to say if I have to deal with this now I am going to need a lasting resolution by Spring.

I'm concerned about the commercially available treatments due to my daughters energetic + chemical sensitivity ( she has reacted to vaccines that have been freshly given to animals near her, so she is super reactive) I must admit I have not researched what options are available. I need to get a handle on this, any thoughts? Anyone using the commercially available stuff, are they safe or just an injectable pesticide?

right now I am attempting the tedious work of using lavender dish soap and a flea comb... I realistically can not keep this up and will need something a little more low maintenance. Help!

thanks!

Hi Jeanette- I was looking for the health effects of borax and couldnt find much. Im concerned as I use it to kill ants at our house and Ive always thought that was the safest thing on the market for ants. Please let me know where you found the information.

Do not recall, but it was within the last two months. Maybe Debra Lynn Dadd website? Use different search terms and you will find it. The Roach Tablets are wonderful and safe because kids and pets cannot get to them if you hide them behind walls. Also, Terro is a boric acid sugar syrup that kills ants; there are no pesticides that I know of with that either; just has to be put in a safe place.To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Sent: Tue, January 24, 2012 7:41:42 PMSubject: Re: Fleas: Pullex Irritans homeopathic, Cedarcide Reported toxicity of borax as flea killer FLEAS!
