With our seven cats we have to be very vigilant and they all get treated with Frontline once a month (except in Winter)- expensive but worth it.<br />Many years ago we 'house sat' for friends in France and there was a flea 'epidemic' in the area. We tried everything we could but couldn't get rid of the beasties. They would even jump on your feet when you walked round town. . . .sablonneusehttp://sablonneuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-35894376427597589862009-07-24T08:21:25.007+01:002009-07-24T08:21:25.007+01:00do chickens get fleas?!do chickens get fleas?!Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-25130641474939003092009-07-24T05:04:07.927+01:002009-07-24T05:04:07.927+01:00Georgie is 12 and has never had Frontline problems...Georgie is 12 and has never had Frontline problems.

I'm pretty vigilant about checking her and if I see one I catch it. <br /><br />I'm not sure if I've ever described de-ticking Chester. He had them everywhere. Everywhere. Yes, including the dog's bollocks. I tweezed them, too. It takes them a whole day to latch on and if you get them before they've bitten through the skin they can be removed with tweezers.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-17696571236543276242009-07-23T17:54:53.096+01:002009-07-23T17:54:53.096+01:00Front line does the job here as well.

It's fairly powerful stuff and Tilly's an old dog, so I'm a bit cautious about using it, though we used to use it sometimes on Chester. He was a setter/collie cross and was a keen rabbiter at one time. The year he had ticks though, he got them from sheep. I spent weeks removing them several times a day by hand.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-37951113540523605922009-07-23T17:34:35.944+01:002009-07-23T17:34:35.944+01:00My Tilly is permanently covered in fleas and ticks...My Tilly is permanently covered in fleas and ticks, a side effect of permanently being down rabbit holes...front line does the trick, didn't mean it to be an ad but it's the only stuff that keeps them at bay.
