Has anyone used this natural flea/tick preventative?

TripleSure Natural Flea & Tick Spray


It's got decent reviews. I'm trying to avoid using Frontline on Dottie this spring/summer. I'm so afraid DS will hug her within that 24/48 hour window of the application and then lick his fingers Chat Icon .

So, I was looking for some natural preventatives.

TIA!!

Hi

Now you know me, that I am super cautious.

Well we use Frontline and I was worried about this also. I have spoken with the reps and they also connect you with a vet if you have an exposure, etc.

I have been repeatedly reassured that it cannot harm a child or a human, or evecn your pet should they lick it. That the way it works it only can harm a flea's nervous system, which is microscopic compared to ours/us. They told me the most that would happen is they might foam at the mouth a bit, but nothing bad can happen when humans are exposed. Believe it or not? Well I have to say that i am going with this b/c to get fleas in my home I think would be a LOT worse of a health risk to my DD than the chance of a lick of this stuff. Fleas carry some serious diseases and since my dog has gotten them in my neighborhood 2 times, I know I have to use it or my house could easily become infested.

I know you didn't ask THIS. But I just wanted to share b/c I too wanted to know if anything safer existed but never found something I trusted enough.

As for Frontline, you can call them yourself if it might make you feel better.Chat Icon

My parents used Brewers yeast tablets on their dog for years and never any ticks/fleas.
