Adams flea spray will knock them down but not out. Adams carpet powder won't knock them down but when it gets them it might do for 2 or 3 years. Bayer Tree and Shrub, But you say she is already using the active ingredient . SOO I figure she is like my girlfriend and tell her the right rate is ten times the real rate because she ain't going to use but 1/10 of what you tell her the rate is anyway and wonder why she can't get rid of the fleas.

300 lbs to the acre of agricultural lime will get the yard.... permethrin 10% put a small trail down their back from shoulders to tail straight out of the bottle will get the dogs

Use Dawn dishsoap, then brush them out. Then go to the vet and get Revlotion.(Spelling sorry) It takes care of fleas, ticks and other B.S.. Treating the yard is BIG though.

your right 3 tons of ag lime would kill just about anything but 300 pounds [lbs] to the acre want hurt anything... and yes it will kill fleas.... it takes the oil off the adult flea that it has to have to live and will dry the eggs up so they dont hatch

Get Bayer Tree & Shrub or Dominion T&S. I got Dominions at my feed store. The quart bottle lasts a LONG time.
Get a 30CC syringe - no needle
Put 15-17cc of the T&S in stripes onto the dog's back, make sure it gets onto the skin - this for approx 60-70 lb. dog. In about 12 hours your dog becomes a flea killing machine. Fleas only need one blood meal of treated dog to die. Cycle is broken because fleas don't live to reproduce. If the liquid is not getting onto skin easily, thin it with a little rubbing alcohol. Repeat about every 30 days if necessary. You might only need to repeat a couple of times a year if your dogs happen to pick up fleas at hunts and shows.
I've been using T&S for at least 4-5 years - it works & it's CHEAP to use.

If your yard, kennel or house is flea infested, spray thoroughly with "Home Defense" available at Walmart & let it dry before allowing dogs to have contact with sprayed area AFTER you've treated them with T&S.

Bumping this one up by the thread "Who has...? If I thought it out I would have bumped this one first. They kind of go together.

bifen(or talstar- same thing) and i.g. regulator mixed in the same sprayer and area SATURATED!!!

one ounce of each together per thousand square feet in as much water as you can get it out in. a dial-a-mix hose end sprayer set on two tablespoons will give best saturation. spray ALL areas- in and under dog houses. problem solved. for about two months anyway.
