If she was mine I would seven dust her. Keep it on for thirty minutes and then bath her. I would do he box or where ever she is at the same time. Kill the fleas then get rid of the seven before she whelps. How far out is she?

I thought someone on this board said to give them a bath in dawn dishwashing liquid and put a cap full of vinegar in their water.
Found a few post:
'
Mix Vinegar and Downy. Spray it on the dogs, it is cheap and works.
I was just reading an article in the Whole Dog Journal that said if you add a little apple cider vinegar to your dogs water every day, that fleas and ticks will stay away from them. It also said skeeters won't bite them and it helps with dry itchy skin and hot spots. It didn't say how much to put in a given amount of water. I don't know if this works but I'm gonna give it a try and I thought I'd pass the info along. good luck.
I use garlic and it works great. I put garlic, one tablespoon of cooking oil and water in the blender and liquify it. Pour in a coffee can and use a paint brush and spread it all over the dogs. I take the left over and spread it around the kennels and inside the dog houses. No fleas, flys, ticks or mosquitos. Insects can smell better than dogs and even after we or the dogs can no longer smell it, it is still working. I got the idea from a very expensive product that was listed on the computer a couple of years ago and decided to make my own. I think the product was mosquito away or something like that. I will try to find it again and post it on here.
Good luck and next time you guys need to herd those fish down to me so I can throw the cast net without leaving the bank!!
Later

We will go. Its just about time for those big boys to start feeding for the winter. Sometime around labor day. We will get TB and go down by Circleville. We need about 3 dozen big bluegills and some of those 12" to 15" suckers and we will hit the bank.
Good luck with the pups
