Re: Pet grooming - anyone do it themselves?

I've been using a propane fogger with some stuff (can't remember what it's called off the top of my head) that's supposed to kill fleas, mosquitos, etc. I'm sure the dogs are getting the fleas in the yard, especially since I've never seen any in my house that weren't on the dogs, but what to do? Got to let 'em out! <G> I'll look at Home Depot next time and see if I can find something better. Thanks, Jeannie!

We have found that even with using the Advantix/Frontline on our animals, we have to treat our yard. I am not sure what you used to "fog" your yard but we go to Lowe's or Home Depot in the garden/pest control section and get stuff that we attach to the hose and spray our entire yard. It doesn't just do fleas but ants, etc. Be sure to spray EVERYWHERE, even up the trunks of trees.
