Nothing i have tried worksQ: What good are all these product if they do not kill the fleas and ticks? everything you are selling i have tried but none of it works longger than a day or two. i have tried everything short of keepingg my six dogs inside. but not they even seem to pick up fleas indoors i have fogged the home three days a week, bathe the dogs every other day with dips and flea shampoo. i have dusted them with flea powder but nothing seems to be affective at all. i live in ozarl,arkansas.the vet here says to use dawn dishsoap but that only works for a day or two. any help you provide will be useful. i am very seriosly thinking about shaving all the hair off of the dogs as a last resort. A: You need to treat environment with good effective products as most of flea life cycle occurs off dogs. i dont like foggers alot of time. consider professional exterminator or good product like fleabusters which you can get on line. also consider oral program as well as oral capstar to kill adult fleas as alternatives if topicals not working for you. these you can get at 1800petmeds Shop for: 1800petmeds, tick, capstar
