232.0. "Solution To Flea Problem" by KOALA::FAMULARO () Mon Apr 14 1986 23:18
Well, with the warm weather coming flea season is starting so I
thought I'd share with fellow cat lovers what has been for my three
cats the solution to flea problems for the last few years. It is
a product called `Pet Guard', Yeast And Garlic Wafers. These wafers
contain brewers yeast, primary grown yeast, garlic powder, partially
hydrogenated vegetable oil and geltin. They contain NO sugar,
artifical flavorings, color or preservatives. Each cat gets one
wafer a day, they think it is a treat. I have used this product
for the past three years and the cats have not had a flea problem
during that whole period.
I read an article somewhere that stated that brewers yeast and garlic
were natural flea deterrents. I was skeptical at first. But the
results I have had are remarkable. I've also talked to an individual
who's dogs had a terrible flea problem. Three weeks after starting
them on the wafers, no more fleas.
This stuff sure beats flea collars, powders, sprays...etc. I can't
say this will work for everybody but it is sure worth a try if your
fed up with fleas, fleas, fleas.
I've purchased Pet Guard at Food For Pets, Amherest, NH and in Nashua,
NH at a health food store called Earth Grown (33 Main St.). If
you can't get to Amherest or Nashua get intouch with Pet Guard,
Orange Park, FL 32073 and ask them where you can get it.
Let me know if this helps your cats or dogs.

| 232.1 | A novel solution to fleas? | WHYVAX::HAMPTON | | Thu Sep 04 1986 18:00 | 9 |
| I read in an advice column this past Sunday in the Boston Globe
of an interesting solution to the flea problem. Put a little hand
dishwashing liquid in a saucer of water and place it near a night
light (presumably in an otherwise dark room at night). The fleas
jump toward the light, land in the water and die.
Believe me, that's what it said. What do you think?

| I've seen this before, in cat magazines. It supposedly works.
There's even an ad for a comercial flea trap. It's tray into which
you pour soapy water, with a light suspended over it. The soap
in the water kills the fleas. (Which reminds me that the vet for
whom I used to work, claims that the best flea killer in the world
is good old pink liquid soap. Iusedto bath animals at the clininc
and while I won't go so far as to say it's THE best, it sure does
kill them!)

| My mom used to place a white towel on the floor and turn off the
lights in a room for a while. Then she would go in with flea spray
and spray down the towel, killing all the fleas that had jumped
onto the white towel. I always thought she was crazy.
Now that I have a white (mostly white) cat I am no longer sure she
is crazy! The white cat is covered with fleas while the other three
are clean!
I use a flea shampoo and flea dip to control the fleas here. Out
in California the flea problem lasts all year since it never gets
cold enough to kill them off.

| Hmmm, that is very strange, during my flea epidemic 2 years ago
my white persian was the only one that didn't seem to get fleas!!!
I think my brown tabby Exotic Shorthair always got them the worst!!
Interesting idea though!!
