Both our dogs hated Frontline and would cringe at the sight of the packet so we switched to a garlic spray. Worked well and they rarely had fleas. We bought it in a pet shop in Walworth Rd, now long gone. I think you can make your own and use a small gaden spray.

We’ve tried Frontline and Advantage and don’t find that they work.

We also use a spray in the house and clean frequently.

 

Dreading this year if we can’t find a solution

For dogs, try the spray that Waggy Wagon, a local groomer, sells.  I don’t know know if it’s suitable for cats as some essential oils are poisonous to cats.  Cat fleas are an absolute nightmare. 

We've started using diatomaceous earth (food grade) for cat fleas. There are a few videos online on how to do this. We made a little face covering for our cats, so they didn't inhale too much.

It's too early to know if it's been a success but we wanted an alternative to the Advantage/Frontline because of the problems associated with it as a pollutant.

One cat didn't mind the application, the other was a bit resistant but it wasn't too hard to get it on.

There is also a tick spray made by Chambers and Co.  It contains rose geranium oil and sulphur.  It’s available on eBay.  Price is £10.  Tick season is upon us.

The frontline Plus stops the eggs hatching in your home, not sure if that was the one you tried, as there is a basic frontline.   I only found it the best for my cat.  Others didn't work.

    • It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.
    • My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark
