For northern people, an easy way to get ride of almost any bugs is very simple. 1- close your water and heating 2- protect your furnitures 3- open all your windows in January or February for 4 days or a week and go live somewhere else during that time. 5- come back and clean. I think for flea you need like 24 celcius below zero for 4 days I think to kill all of them. If it is not cold enough where you live you might can rent somekind of air conditionner



Thank you, Sir for that info. I will try using DE and dust them in corners of the house. And also dust some on my pup's coat twice a week. I see my pup scratch once in a while; I think she is not highly infected, but prevention is good. These things are pretty new to me, as I am a first time pup/dog owner. So I try to research on things.
Our climate here is generally warm -- 79.9 °F to 82.9 °F. So many parasites that thrive on pets find that very favorable. Well, I guess I would have to learn as I go.
Thanks again.

Hello. I recently bought a new puppy for the first time.

I am wondering if flea control (esp using diatomaceous earth) would also kill ticks, lice, etc?

They say ticks are dangerous, too as they can transmit Lyme disease. And flea can spread tapeworms. I hope my information is accurate.

I have seen so many discussions focused on fleas only.

By the way, I am in the Philippines. The flooring of our entire house is made of ceramic tiles; we don't have carpets.

Thank you very much.
