I have tried to find the boric acid with no luck. The pharmacies have told me that they no longer make it. By chance do you sell it or have access to it?

One weighs 5 lbs. and the other around 13 to 14 lbs. I have been battling this flea problem with all of the natural solutions I have been able to find. I wash them in a solution of Essentential Oils green soap with a few drops of Dawn Dish Washing Soap. This kills the fleas and I search their entire bodies to remove all of the fleas during the rinse process. It lasts for about one day. I believe that I have more of the problem of flea infestation in our home and yard. I bathe them twice a week (at least). My small dog gets very listless when the fleas attack him. They are both on a holistic dog food, and I cook hamburger to add with it so they will eat it. I also put a product that has vitamins, garlic, and brewers yeast powder in their food. With a spray bottle that has rubbing alcohol, cedar essential oil, euchalyptus, lavender and peppermint oil I spray their beds around their beds, and on their body (in between baths). With this whole regime, I am still battling these beasts. Am I missing something. We have even treated our lawn. Oh, and I have also sprinkled salt on the carpet, left it for 3 days, and then vacuumed it, and also sprayed my spray bottle solution on the entire carpet. I just can't figure out what else I can try. Any suggestions? I am just cringing at the fact that I just may have to put the chemical treatments on them. I have 2 maltese.

We have treated outside and inside over and over again. My chihuahua, Lexi, well she gets so many on her, I dont understand or yet to find out where she gets fleas on her. It's not just a few, she gets covered. Lexi only weighs 2.5 lbs. and I bathe her but during the wintertime she get cold and I am dipping her and using different treatments but, she is allergic to flea collars and her skin is very sensative. Ok, what do you recomend? And if you recommend something like garlic etc., how much would I give her at 2.5 lbs. that won't make her sick.

I have in fact never seen an age limit on the product but you may want to contact the company to be sure. Good luck Dr Lord Flea busters has no pyrethrins and should be safe with 12 week old kittens.

They arrived with fleas, from their prev. environment, I have shampooed with a very mild shampoo (no chemicals/preservatives) and flea combed, lemon rinse, rosemary rinse and still dealing with the fleas. In the past with my previous mature pets, I sprinkled equal portions of salt & 20 Mule Team Borax on the carpet, furniture etc., and then vacuum in a few days. IS this safe for the kittens? Or how should I proceed? Is this the same as Flea Busters? Does Flea Busters have pyrethrins? Does it contain any chemicals unsafe for kittens? Please help.
