Re: Beans talk

O.K. ya'll...after doing my "due diligence" on natural flea control (and
also, because of the goats who get lice..not the kind that get on
people...but bothersome to them) I researched "food grade" diatomaceaus
earth and then searched for a reasonably priced one...and found it. I
tried it on the dogs and cats first because the fleas are HORRIBLE here.
Works like a charm. Tried it on the goats. Works like a charm. You just
rub it in their coats and walk away. The fleas and other pests are gone
within a couple of days and it stays that way as long as they have some
of the powder on them. I will never be without it again. I ordered four
5 lb. bags of it. Should last me awhile..and it only cost me $25.31.
