flea season is around the corner

As much as I look forward to spring and summer every year, there is always the dreaded knowledge that flea season is once again on the horizon. My treatment in past years has revolved around diatomaceous earth powder, lots of vacuuming and lots of flea combing.

While I do find the occasional flea or two (or three) this protocol has kept the situation from getting out of hand. I have not had to use anything chemical on Chloe or Kate which makes the twice a day flea combing and the almost daily vacuuming tolerable.

What do you do to prevent fleas from getting out of control with your dogs and cats?
