Afternoon all,

I am going to purchase some Diatomaceous Earth from Wolfcreekranch.com.

I will be using it in the yard, around the house, and in Juneau's food. I have a 2800 sq ft house but about 2/3 of that is carpet. The yard is a pretty good size too. It's probably a good 60x70 foot yard (just guessimate).

She's got fleas and I don't want to use Frontline, Advantix, etc etc. I have 6 pills of Capstar arriving in the mail tomorrow (hopefully).

I've been using the ACV and Garlic, but to no avail - it hasn't really helped. I guess all of the fleas have to be off in order for it to repeal them lol. I also used the essential oils (Lanvendar, Cedarwood and Rose Geranium) but the problem persists (once again, repeals and doesn't kill - expected).

The neighbors next door have a dog that they leave out 24/7. Their yard is trashed (literally, scattered garbage). I'm going to "assume" that they don't treat their dog or yard for pests. We have a 6 foot wooden fence. I'm worried this is where the fleas are coming from. Behind our yard is a retention pond, this could be the source too. >:l

Since I want to treat my yard, house, and Juneau, how much would I have to order?

Also, how often would I have to order before the fleas come back?

They're in serveral different packages and it's overwhelming. I also don't know how much is "too much" for per area. I hope that's not confusing.

I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the forum.

I got 1 lb and I still have 3/4 left after the house, yard and animals were treated

Don't do that buy some of, ljelgin's supply. Agree on price and shipping and handling.




Yeah swallow your pride and deal with an Okie, or is it the other was around.

Lol I'll gladly take some off his hands. I just didn't want to seem rude and ask. Lol. I'm a pretty easygoing person!
Ljeljin, do you have the one with the pour spout?

This is the one I purchased..

I would gladly package some up for you and send it to you for the shipping cost and a couple of dollars.

No I don't have a pour spout with mine.

We did purchase a weed sprayer like this one from walmart for doing the yard.

Send me a pm if you want some..

We used these something like this for instructions using it in the yard.
