The American Beagler Forum

This may have been on here before but I wanted to share a flea remedy i found on another forum.

Have any of you tried the Bayer tree and shrub on your dogs?
The fleas got pretty bad here and I tried this stuff after tring some other "flea treatment" with no luck. The next day there was NOT A SINGLE flea in sight!!!!!!!!!

I used 1CC/ 10# and you can get it at Wal-Mart or home depot for around 20.00 for 32 oz.

How do you use this product on dogs and how long does it last?

Did you use the Bayer Tree and Shrub with fertilizer? I have used the other type but can't find it without fertilizer this year.

You use it just like you would use Frontline or any of the other flea treatments. Just put it on the back of the neck under the hair so it makes good contact with the skin. I put about half the dose behind the neck and the other half on the back close to the tail. May not make a differance (probably dont) thats just how i've always done it in the past.

Its suposed to last 1 month according to everybody i've talked to.

I didnt use the one w/ fertalizer. Not sure if the fertalizer would hurt the dogs or not (may turn em into coon dogs ). To start w/ i bought the one w/ fert. but then I got lucky and found 5 bottles of old stock (w/o fert.) on the back shelf in Lowes. Im going to use the one w/ fert. to spray around the kennel though.

Theres another brand thats put out by "Gordons" thats the same ingredients as the "bayer" but w/o fertalizer.

I use it. I have for the last couple year. Haven't had any trouble. and no fleas

We tried it this year as a spray and it has worked really good. Just mixed it up with water and sprayed it from a squirt bottle.

Has anybody else tried this?

ive tried it
the only way to get rid of ticks

but ticks are not phased by it in the least

Finding the Bayer without fertilizer is getting to be rare.........if a place has it, it's stock from last year since Bayer has added fertilizer to it.

Old Dominion Tree and Shrub and Gordon's Tree and Shrub (Tractor Supply) is like the original Bayer Tree and Shrub version.

believe or not everyone,dawn dishwashing liquid kills fleas

we bought this stuff, but i have not grown enough balls to try it yet. josh
