Is this the case or will just planting the plants really help? I heard that having the plants is not enough, that you also have to routinly crush the leaves.

I plan to try some of the plant suggestions, but I've read that garlic can be harmful for dogs in larger quantities. I'll have to research the others to make sure they are safe if my dog eats them. I also tried Atlas' suggestion of taking garlic and it worked splendidly. I am a mosquito magnet and last night was prime mosquito weather. I took two no-odor garlic pills 20 minutes before I went outside and the mosquitos would get close but would not bite. Apparently they can still sense the garlic even if we can't smell it.

Also, comb the pet with a fine-tooth comb and put the fleas you comb out into a bowl of soapy water, then flush the water.

I'm going to OA ordeal in a couple of weeks, and I don't think they let you use bug spray. Thanks!! so, wait, if I eat basil, rosemary, and/or garlic, then the bugs will leave me alone? awesome!
