    My 2 week old puppies have fleas
    My Pitbull just had babies on March 21st and the pups now have lots of fleas. What can I use to get rid of them?

    You can use 20 Mule Team Borax rubbed into the coats (lightly) and on the mom's back and near her tail. You can also use it in the litter box on any of the bedding there. Just sprinkle on and use your hand to smooth it into the fabric. Rub a small amount into the back of each puppy. The fleas will eat the borax and die in less than a week. You can also use the borax safely around the puppies anywhere that they play such as on a rug. I would use it all throughout your house. Sprinkle the borax on the carpeting and use your shoe to mash it into the rug. After about a week vacuum it up and repeat the process. This way you are not using any toxic chemicals in your house as borax is a natural element.
