Checked my beagles and couldn't find a single flea. Lulu, our pug, doesn't have a flea on her either. Here's the catch, I haven't put anything on these dogs since last summer. :huh:

I know where they are. :(At my house on both of our Cocker Spaniels. Advantage, Frontline, collar, powder. :huh:
Nothing seems to be getting rid of them this year. Didn't see them in the carpet but had the whole house sprayed and keep seven dust around the house but the poor ole dogs are still getting them all over.:smash:
Don't know what else to do.

You have to treat the dog yard and house at the same time then treat again in 7 days so that you break the life cycle.

My dogs run around in the cow pastures and have been covered up. I have treated the yard and the dogs and just now am I getting a little handle on them. The require moisture, humidity and shade. I have tons of trees in my yard and this year I have been getting about one small rain/sprinkle per week. Guess I am doomed till we get a cold winter or dry summer?

Got them bad in fl , Has any of y'all tried
Bayer Tree and shrub ? Been told by severial
beagle guys this is what they use.
I havent tried it yet, but as soon as I can get to wally world
im gonna get some .

They spray treat the yard and use 3 cc's from a syrenge right between the "Grown" dogs shoulder blades just like
putting frontline or advantage .
They swear by this the dogs dont have fleas or ticks.

If any here has used it on your dogs what were your results ??

I used two types of granules per instructions and they didn't do squat for fleas, but I haven't seen the first fire ant. Maybe that is the problem since fire ants eat fleas and flea larva? I had better look luck with the drops with growth inhibitor combined with old Sevens Dust 10% scattered in the shady areas. Still have a problem, but it seems to be getting better.

Interesting!! Would also be interested in hearing results of trying Bayer Tree and Shrub.... ALSO the weight of dogs that are getting 3cc per dog. My dogs are between 20 and 50 pounds...most around 40ish...

Willie,
That's what I used on mine last summer. 1 cc Bayer Tree and Shrub between the shoulder blades. Mine were covered in fleas and it wiped em out. I guess it works for years after one application because I sure haven't seen any fleas on mine since. :bounce:

Oh, this new Bayer Tree and Shrub has fertilizer in it too. The bottle I have doesn't. They started putting fertilizer in it this year. Don't know if it makes a difference or not. That fertilizer might turn your beagles into coon hounds. ;)

I just got rid of all my coon hounds 4 yrs ago
Man id be in trouble if it turned them into treeing beagles :rofl: .

Did you use the concentrate type that you mix
water with ?
Like you , all the guys I know say its the best thing since
sliced bread. They have NO flea problem...
Did you spray your yard and pens too?

So your useing 1cc per beagle , how much do your dogs weigh ?

Thanks Jody

I use Ivomec, once a month on my Beagles for Heart Worms, and have No fleas at all!

I think this Ivomec, is the answere to No fleas?

Just my thinking?
