The American Beagler Forum

FLEAS IN MY KENNEL ARE A BIG PROBLEM THIS YEAR. I BLEACH CONCRETE FLOOR, DIP WITH HAPPY JACK II, USE CEDAR CHIPS,
CLEAN BOXES. ANYMORE IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO? HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD PROBLEM WITH FLEAS LIKE THIS YEAR!!

I had them real bad two summers ago and I had to treat my yard as well as the dogs and the kennel. I really had to treat the yard twice to get rid of them.

Some of the men here use liquid SEvin, tweice strength in water and a big bottle of Pinesol and a gallon of Apple Cider Vinegar. Add water to make a bath and bath dogs in it, and spray the leftover on any area they can get to, especially houses.
No fleas and cheap too.

Purchase K9 Advantix II (http://www.jefferspet.com/k9-advantix-ii/p/0040155/) Over 55 lbs - 6 month supply $70.99

Each of the 6 tubes will contain 4cc/mL of medication (24cc/mL in the whole package).

You need 0.4cc/mL per 10lbs.

For a 25lb Beagle that is 1cc/mL (1 package can treat 24 Beagles).

So one tube will treat 4 Beagles that weigh 25lbs each. This comes out to $2.96cc/mL.

To make it easier you can empty the contents into a small bottle and draw out what you need with a syringe. Put it on the dog's back between the shoulder blades.

*Don't bathe dogs for 3 days before or after applying product.
*Don't use any strong detergents/shampoos/dips on your dog while using it.
*You can use it on pups as young at 7 weeks old.
*Will Kill & Repel Fleas, Ticks & Mosquitos for 30 days.

We use this year round and we live in a very rural bug infested area with wooded & swampy terrain. Our dogs stay Flea & Tick free all year.

I have 5 beagles all between 20 and 25 pounds what package would you suggest for me??? I have never had fleas this bad ever and my yard is infested to and I sprinkled 7 dust all over to try and kill them any help would be appreciate it thank you

houndsman, what type of floor is your pen on? What kind of bedding if any?

I use Termidor SC same ingredient as frontline Fipronil 9.1% used it for 4years no fleas no ticks.get it on internet 50 to 60 dollars for 20 oz. use 1/2cc between shoulder blade monthly works great for me.

I have above ground kennels with rubber coated fencing on floor and use Cedar chips for bedding in summer and Straw in winter...

littlehawk I see that is for termites but you use it on your dogs I was just wondering if that is safe LOL I just bought some liquid insecticed for spraying my lawns and under my kennels but really dont want to spray it on my dogs but I see alot of people use things like this and I just want to make sure it wont harm my dogs... thanks for info though and just looked it up on internet

Check ingredients in flea meds most all are insecticides most of them Fipronil best of luck

Thanks for all info I got some permectrin 2 to spray my yard and under my kennels
