What a wonderful age we live in. And I happen to think that the “Internet” must surely be one of the greatest blessings of all. Whatever one is in need of can generally be found on the internet. (Google search, et all). Just happen to have a couple of examples:
My dog has fleas I have bought flea shampoo and it gives only temporary relief. This is not the answer. I won’t give her those shots which go into her whole body – that is not my style. Don’t want to harm her, want to help her. Let’s see if I can F.I.O.T.I. (find it on the internet) So, Google: want non-toxic way to get rid of fleas. There was a lot. But one of them explained that any shampoo would do the job as it is the sudsy foam that snuffs the fleas. Just leave it on for about 5 minutes. So you stand there and massage the foam all around while you tell her a story. Keeps her attention and time passes. Then you can treat the carpet with plain ole 20 Mule Team Borax. Sprinkle everywhere into the fabric and take an ordinary broom and gently sweep it in. Then vacuum it up. There were products also non toxic that you can spray into your furniture and bedding if you want, but I didn’t write that down – you will have to google it yourself. Classy, right?
Ant Invasion: Again, my pet.. . . . they were crawling all over and into my pet’s food and drowning in her water. No matter what treatment was put down in the kitchen, I still had ants. . So, Google this: Want non-toxic ant remedy. What I like best was plain old white vinegar. Its cheap. Use a spray bottle, keep it handy in the kitchen or where ever and just spray the counter, window or caulking – what ever seems to be the problem area. For me it was all that plus my pooch’s feed dish and water bowl I swear, I sprayed a line of ants and they stopped in their tracks never to move again. Could hardly believe it. It worked so well – and its only vinegar – can’t hurt anybody with that, right? It took a day or so until the message got out to their nest. It works Isn’t that nice to know?
