Sprayed with what? I live on a farm and can't do it all but can do
the area used. Same with the area of the ferals.

Ticks have been horrible this year, I'll do a little research to see

there are any solutions.

On the same sort of subject: I had a feral contract babesiosis (I

from a tick in December. It was a budget breaker. Luckily, Red

He spent a lot of time at the vets' and a lot more confined but looks

two off

me daily. The ferals can't be treated individually. Any ideas
would be
appreciated.

I have never heard of it, but what I have just read on several sites,
Sevin
powder sounds very dangerous and is definitely poisonous!
Diatomaceous earth is not, it's just an irritant when inhaled.
One can
also
use the food grade diatomaceous earth to control worms in cats by
mixing
it
into the food once in a while.
How to Kill Fleas With Sevin
Killing flea populations is easy with Sevin Dust. This product
works on a
variety of insects and is very effective in controlling fleas. The
active
ingredient in Sevin Dust is carbaryl, an insecticide that kills
over one
hundred insect species. Sevin Dust can be sprinkled in the yard on
your
lawn, and also on fruit and vegetable bearing trees and plants as
well as
shade trees, bushes and ornamental type plants. Some people put
Sevin
Dust
on window sills to keep fleas from coming inside their homes.
Sevin Dust
is
a highly poisonous product so care must be taken when handling it.
It is
not
recommended that you use Sevin Dust on your pets, even though some
people
do.
Difficulty:EasyInstructions
Things You'll Need
Sevin Dust
Gloves
Mask
Goggles
Shaker bottle
1 Read the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
Sevin
Dust
is a poison. While it has been approved for use, you do not want
the dust
on
your skin or in your eyes. More importantly, it is easy to inhale
Sevin
Dust
as the powder is very fine. Wear a mask while working with this
product.
2 Decide what areas you want to treat. Because Sevin Dust is so
versatile,
you can sprinkle it anywhere in your yard. The caution is that
Sevin Dust
is
a wide spectrum insecticide, meaning it kills many different types
of
insects. While you may not like fleas in your yard, other insects
are
beneficial. Insects are killed when they ingest it, so put Sevin
only in
the
places where you know the fleas are, and out of places that
beneficial
insects such as lady bugs inhabit.
3 Sprinkle Sevin Dust on the areas you wish to treat. Put it into
your
shaker bottle. Now shake the Sevin Dust on the areas you want
treated. If
you have fleas coming into your home, treat the perimeter of your
home by
sprinkling Sevin Dust where your home's foundation and ground
meet. Place
Sevin Dust at the base of any doorways, being careful not to get it
inside
the door frame. Lastly, sprinkle Sevin Dust on your lawn.
4 Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when you are
finished. Also discard your mask, or if it is plastic, rinse it off.
Change
clothes and put your used clothing into the washing machine.
Tips & Warnings
Use a container that has a shaker on top. The product is very
fine, like
talcum powder, so a shaker enables you to put Sevin Dust exactly
where it
is
needed.
Sevin Dust is a poison. Use with caution and be careful not to
inhale the
dust. If by accident you ingest Sevin Dust or get it in your eyes,
contact
a
physician immediately.

Frontline used to not kill the fleas, just make them sterile, is
this still the case? I couldn't use it because my one cat scratched
himself raw because the fleas were still crawling.

Have any of you used Pet Armor? It is supposed to be the exact same
thing as Frontline Plus - Fipronil and S Methoprene - The Pet Armor
site claims it is a generic for Frontline, and it is much cheaper.
I'm seeing it advertised in all sorts of places now, so if any of
you
have used it and find that it works and is not harmful, please
let me
know.
