FOOD GRADE DE is the only thing you should use on your pets. I use it, it works and my home is flea free!

P.S. try to minimize the amount that is breathed in by you and your pet!

There are several kinds of DE. As a pool owner and also animal owner I know this. If you use DE, make sure you get the right kind as there is a big difference between food grade DE and pool grade DE. If would be awful to poison your pet by using the wrong stuff. Do your research.

DE that is used for swimming pool filters is toxic to humans and will not control insects; therefore it is important to understand the difference. Other brands of DE advertised as “insecticidal” often include additives of toxic harsh chemicals such as pyrethrum and piperonyl butoxide – these products are not safe to eat and should not be administered to animals or humans.

Hi Kimberly, checkout the post on diatomaceous earth. You could try to put a little DE directly onto your cat. I also use a cedar oil mixture in a spray bottle (you can find the recipe in the ebook) which is quite effective on repelling fleas from my dogs. Thanks for your comment! Jack

I have 2 cats, 1 cat does not have a problem with fleas, the other, I can say flea and he gets them. Both cats go outside. I know it sound strange. I will try your suggestion. I tried the drops between the shoulder blades and the 1 cat his fur came out. Willing to try anything natural.

Thanks for your suggestions
