How would u use tea tree oil for fleas? I swear by it for loads of things but havent heard of that one. Frontline is useless, ours seem to have got used to it now.

see my post above, Advocate is brilliant, even against fox fleas!

I put some TT on my hand every few days and rub it into her coat, but never when I Advocate her.

It is a Bayer product, its available in Spain and it is the only thing that takes care of the fleas on my working dog.

I´ll second that. I use it on my Akita who has a very thick double coat.
