Didn’t work for my German Shepherd
My poor German Shepherd ate these daily for a couple of weeks. Until I got a flea comb had no clue his back end was full of dozens of fleas.
This was after a bath with Dawn, and MD, and although Adam’s did get more. The flea comb did the trick.
Bath and comb. The Capstar killed a few, but I don’t think the weight capacity of 20 lbs and up is workable for an 80 plus pound dog.
Tried to give him two at once figuring it’s work for his weight and still fleas.
The cats on the other hand, the few they had dropped off.
Adam’s spray works great. After moping. After spraying inside the dirt devil and on the broom sweep and vacuum. Then, mop with Dawn (google why this can help) then mop with Apple cider vinegar. Plus, wiped ACV on the animals. They’ll lick and begin to like the taste. Add a tsp to the dogs half gallon of water daily and a dropper to the cat water.
The ACV repels fleas. Not kills. The Dawn ... google how to and why ... helps do all sorts of stuff to fleas.
The Dawn didn’t rid the fleas from the dog either. Had to use it on the kitten. Google why. Adams spray is awesome to end the cycle.
I use Adam’s week one. Then repeat everything week two. Then week three. Then, every few weeks.
Feel so bad for having given them all so many capstar and it didn’t work well overall.
Years ago, had two cats and it did great. After half dozen packs in a month. One from the store was $57. These were way more affordable. But, did nothing to kill the adults while treating the eggs.
Oh yeah, IGR or Insect Growth Regulator, make sure your shampoo and sprays have this to stop the life cycle. Google for why.
One thing that confounded me, I read vacuums stimulate flea eggs to birth flea larva. So, when people go on vacation or bomb their house can’t figure out why new fleas pop up after returning home.
Those little eggs are similar to cockroaches in their ability to endure. Vacuum vibration encourages Fleas to be born. Adam’s spray can help eliminate this.
The reason I didn’t flea bomb or fog is the dog likes to roll in Right of Ways. I can’t stop fleas from finding him.
House maintenance is best for us. No rugs. Attempt to keep things clean. The Adams spray helps with keeping eggs and others from their cycle.
One thing I do is add apple cider vinegar to my superfood Wheat Grass daily. Pretty sure that’s why I was never bitten. We only had a situation for a month. Just about the time it takes to rid them and make sure the house is treated through a couple of life cycles in case an egg was missed. It only takes one.
Sincerely hope this helps fur families and their humans from flea issues.
