2. In dog house, wash down interior walls and floor every few weeks with solution of salt water.
3. Put few drops of dish soap in a shallow pan of water on the floor. Put a lamp next to it. Fleas will come toward the light and jump into the water and drown.
4. Put equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Apply directly to dog's coat and rub in. Can be applied to cats but might have problems as they don't like the smell.
5. Remove ticks by dabbing with rubbing alcohol before pulling off. Grab tick as close to dog's skin as can and pull straight off.
6. In the yard, spread ice-cream salt in yard to repeal fleas.

A Cats Prayer
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
