Need Help for Fleas

My yard has been taken over by fleas. Any advice on how or what products to get rid of them?

I've never had fleas but when I had those crabs that one time....****, wrong board!!

Try diatomaceous earth. The Link

I haven't had flea problems since I got my dog on Advantage. Of course, he's primarily an indoor dog, but he had them pretty bad 2 years ago. As long as I keep up with the Advantage, I don't have to treat the house or the yard.

I took Loopy's advice and went with the nematodes. Problem solved.

Beneficial nematodes is the way to go....Also takes care of fire ants, tics and june bugs....

DIAZINON (liquid)

trust me - apply it at twice the recommended rate and you'll have NO unwanted living beings in your yard.

but stock up on it now because the environmental wackos have managed to get it outlawed and it will be off the shelves soon

I exagerrated a little - but I have been applying Diazinon twice

a year at 1.5 the recommended rate for the past 10 - 12

years and have never had any of my dogs (or cats) show

any ill effects - I've also never seen them scratching fleas. I

also don't have problems with flies or mosquitoes.

You're also contaminating your pets, yourself and your family.
The recommended rate is there for a reason.
I'm an environmental whacko, and a former certified commercial pesticide applicator.
