How to EMERGENCY Flea/Chigger Removal

So, your pet has caught a bad case of fleas? Its Saturday, and your vet is closed for the weekend. What are you going to do to help out your family friend? This is an effective and safe way to temporarily rid your pet of fleas until you can get some real flea medication from your vet. p. s. Hartz flea drops work about as well as doing nothing!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Jar of Minced Garlic and a strong nose.

1. I would suggest performing this in the bathroom. Smear the minced garlic into your pets coat. Make sure you have rubbed an ample amount of the minced garlic into the fur under their belly, on their legs and behind their ears. Fleas, like most humans do not like the overpowering scent of garlic.
2. Put your pet into the garage or outside into a kennel, unless of course you truly like garlic and wish that every surface the pet touches smell of garlic for the next three months.
3. Wash pet after two days to remove flea eggs. (The small white dots you see in their fur.) Repeat as necessary. It may not smell the best; but will provide emergency relief to your pet. Also helps with chiggers.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a flea comb to remove eggs and dead fleas from your pets' fur. Be sure to rinse the pet down first.
