      TY so much for ALL of your helpful advice! I use DA on my fur babies and I found a little trick. I add some of the powder to a small sock and use it to gently powder them all over, it really helps to get into those hidey places where the fleas like to go. Afterwards I give the babies lots of love and really work it into their coat. We use it in our yards and have converted our neighbors, it really helps!

    Thank you!!!Have used this for years! Sprinkle it on doggies beds, blankets and around. Before the flea season begins, I start at my back door, then work out from there. On fold of stairs, on patio, and then circumference of yard outward. We live in rural area with animal life and their fleas are huge. Weather conditions must be dry, if it rains application goes again. I buy a huge bag at feed store to do this. Apply both back and front areas, but primarily where dogs most activity. I hope this helps anyone with those terrible fleas.

      Most of what I out on Dogs will fall as they move around going for water, food, etc. Like when one applies those chemicals down their spine, some of this powder will fall down to the skin, I leave it on. Do this after a bath and when they are well dried. Same with Beds, blankets and around their beds. Most of it will get cleaned or swiped away when I clean around the area, but pretty much leave it until I bathe and wash again in a month or if they get soiled. Thank you

    I've used this before. I never had a problem with it. I also used it on the carpet and furniture and it does work but not instantly. I also used it in the garden and lawn because it works well on ants 🐜. The food grade version can be ingested by animals and humans also. It makes a great dewormer and gets rid of intestinal parasites. You should move to the USA because we love our alternative medicine doctors and vets!!!

For around a litter box or for treating all the floorboards or furniture, it's ok. Plus lots of vacuuming. We had a flea infestation once and I think I vacuumed like, twice a day, everywhere in the house, for almost 3 months before there were no more fleas. Good luck with your D.E. experience!

    I can say, from diatomaceous dust cloud experience, it caused little to no ill effect. It was my first time doing it, there were 4 dogs and a bunch of cats and i took them out to the yard and dusted them but they would shake themselves and it was an absolute cloud! I did use a lot because most were long haired and i was waging war againt a flea infestation that was so bad and so resistant to pesticides, you could directly spray them and they were fine. So i went crazy. But it worked! I definitely breathed in a bunch of it and no issues.
    Nowadays i go a lot lighter, but food grade diatomaceous earth and a dawn bath once a week knocks out flea infestation. Its a harsh routine, i feed my pets fish oil to help with the dry skin, but its temporary and better than poisons and constant flea battle

    I use on my cats been 1.5 years. It's organic food grade. When an out break happens I use a small amount sometimes daily. The one cat licks it off it can be immediately. I have put in the carpet. I think the flea liquids are really bad. This stuff does work! I am using the CBD oil from you keeps the coat shiny.

    The best flea control or elimination, in my case at least, is coconut laundry soap bars. Here in Brazil it's very easy to find.
    It kills all the fleas on the animal! Believe me. It does.
    The vacuum cleaner is your best ally in your fight against flea eggs. They hide in rugs, carpets, in the blankets/beds your pets sleep on, and if you have wooden floors keep an eye open for gaps between the planks of wood. There are products you could use on the floor. Fun (maybe not that fun) fact: flea eggs can live for over a year as eggs.
    I got rid of the rugs and my pet's beds and blankets.
    I have a cat. They sleep anywhere. Your bed, couches, chairs, boxes...
    I, personally, don't like carpets or rugs. So I never put them back. If you do, maybe have them professionally cleaned.

      Yes, I got a kick out of your "not so fun-fact"! Been there - I actually was going over all of the piping on our couch to make sure there were no eggs anywhere; had to buy special hand held vacuums for some of the places that had to be cleaned. So glad that is over. Another thing you can do as far as bedding or, in our case, cloth toys that our one cat was really attached to: If it's small enough to go in a plastic bag and then in the freezer, put it in there, for like 2 weeks or so then launder them when they come out of the deep freeze. I am not sure if that will get the eggs (I think it does) but it gets them at every other stage. You know, if the eggs are laying around somewhere and someone walks past, the vibration of their steps can actually trigger the flea to break out of the shell, and then you have one jumping around till it gets on the cat. I think someone said very hot temperatures kills them in the egg stages, so sometimes we would put the heat on (this was in July/August/Sept for us) and keep it on for several hours at a time, along with a woodstove fire to heat up the house and kill any eggs I didn't get with the vacuum or with hand mopping the floor. What a nightmare. I agree with you about carpets - don't have any wall-to-wall ones, but I do have an area rug in two rooms. Does this coconut laundry soap have a name? Is it Zote?

Dr Jones; could you help with hot spots... my dog is chewing himself (and me ) crazy and I can't figure out what is causing it; I can't find anything on him; I comb him out everyday, and I make a natural tonic of cedar, olive, ginko, cammomille, alittle home made acv, and coconut oil weekly, and (we call it "spa night") and give him a sponge bath with it, as he hates getting wet; I works great for a while, and then he's right back at it... He just started chewing on himself a few weeks ago... He is a puppy mill victim, and he has a few issues; and I'm wondering if this isn't an emotional nervous thing. How do I stop it; and is there any natural product; herb that might help? I've had a few dogs; and have never had this problem before; it's perplexing to say the least, and I'm worried that he will cause secondary infections.

    I used it for awhile on my dog and her coat became super dry. She started scratching more from the dry skin than any fleas. So use caution. It is not for my dog. I make homemade flea repellent with lemons and apple cider vinegar. Good for the coat and effective at repelling fleas.

      I did not find it to be effective as well as drying out their skin. I wish it did! I hate the toxic chemical drugs.
      I bought food grade from two different suppliers thinking that maybe I received something that was substandard from the first supplier.
      I read as soon as you get it wet it doesn't work so I made sure to spread it around the house and didn't wash the floors for 3 days, leaving the powder there, dry. Still, last year I ended up having to buy the pills because they really were suffering with the fleas. I hated having to give them those pills!
