fleas

Well its time to start fighting the fleas any suggestions would benefit us all thx in advance.

Re: fleas

What I typically do....I switch from permethrin, Bifen (Talstar) and admire. Admire is great but hard on the wallet. Southern states sells a product called TALSTAR, great for fleas and ticks can be sprayed in your kennels. Use ceder chips in your houses by the way because fleas can't stand ceder but they love hay and wheat straw epecially after it gets a little moist. Flea treatmeants have what's called an IGR ( insect groth regulater ) IGR's kill flea eggs/larva and just about every other type of insect eggs/larva. IGRs is what makes Advantix so good. You can get IGR at some feed stores its called MARTINS IGR. They sell it in 1 ounce or 4 ounce bottle. I highly suggest buying it by the 4 oz bottle because 1oz cost $9 or you can buy 4oz for $14. The best way to buy it is by the quart online and the best outdoor brand I could find is ARCHER IGR. . Its about $50 a quart but it really makes your time,money and effort into killing fleas worth while. What I like to do and is suggested by the IGR makers is mix it right in with my pesticides whether it be permithrin, Bifen or Admire and spray the pens. Check out this website they have everything you could ask for about pest control http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/. Most of this info came from help that I got from Travis Wethington, very usfully information hope it helps you out as well.
