Found a good flea repellent. Apple Cider Vinegar.
Also an insect killer that doesn’t hurt you or your pet. You can eat the food grade. I rationalize that flea powder is in fact this.
Diatomaceous Earth. ... I used it in my apartment cabinets on roaches. It’s perfectly safe, clean, and no problem for us large mammals. But not insects.
Are pets allowed on the truck?

I've got 3 dogs, an 3 cats. My household is never at rest. I either got a puppy who acts like it's been fed nothing but sugar an meth or cats causing trouble just to cause trouble. Loves to screw with the older ones. One of the cats is around 1, an still acts like a kitten. Her an the puppy are demons in fur. Cute, but demons I tell you. They keep me entertained. An the pup is the perfect riding dog. She'll take a minute to be all curious at the start of the trip, bout 20 miles out she'll be curled up on the passenger seat snoring away.
This happens a lot..
Anyone with a cat and one of those laser toys will understand..
Again...owners will understand..
Sorry, beagle snuck that one in...

Blue Dawn Soap is also a good way to contain the flea issue. It'll kill them, but is harmless to your pet. Good luck with bathing your cat though. I'm not that brave. My dogs don't mind though, as it helps them feel better. Can only do it though once or so a week, to much an you'll strip the natural oils from their fur.
This stuff here...Diatomaceous Earth. Very important to say the food grade version. There are two kinds, one is safe for pets, to the point you apply it direct to their fur, or in their food. The other kind will kill them. Make sure you get the right stuff. Feel free to google it, lots of helpful info on flea an tick control without resorting to the topical like frontline, etc. Here on my sandbar the topicals have not been working very well the last couple of years. The newer collars that last 6 months to a year will work, but are costly. My face munchers an the cats all get a prescription from the vet for their flea/tick pill. Cheaper an less of a hassle then the frontline, etc type stuff. An not all that stuff is created the same. The cheap stuff you find for 5 to 10 bucks a dose has lot of reviews of it being harmful to pets. From death to other medical issues.
The other thing about the earth stuff...it works by dehydrating the flea an it's eggs if I recall properly. So it's good to use on your carpet, etc. Most flea treatments won't kill the egg/larva. This stuff does via dehydrating it.
Anyhow, sorry for the novel. Hope it helps, an if it doesn't...I'll pretend it did.

You can always tell when you’re snoring too loud. You get a mouth full of fur from your cat laying on your mouth.
