I rarely have flea problems with my Basenjis -they have garlic regularly which I think may be the reason. They are around all sorts of wild animals so must be in contact with fleas at some point.
Serento Flea and Tick collars

You should read this... I would NEVER recommend this for any pet... Not only this, humans can put their hands on this collar as can children... and other pets with their mouth..... Don't know how many here use these collars but please read the information and think about changing.

Wow! We are trying to get by without system meds for flea and tick (we do give her heartworm because I am not aware of an alternative) but it is challenging because my B can not stand the smell of the natural sprays. (The vet says it won't hurt her, they just have senses that much stronger than ours that they hate it.) We are fortunate that we have short haired dogs, though and will likely see any ticks or bites they get. During these warmer months, we spend a lot of time checking her skin over to prevent any tick from settling in. So far, we've not seen any despite living in a wooded area.

Try this:
Homemade Flea & Tick SpraySince it's not in a commercial spray bottle, you can just put some in your hands and rub it on/in. That way, the aerosol doesn't bother them.

@elbrant I will try it; I have all but the cedar oil. But I have just poured the Wondercide in my hands, initially I thought it was the spray sound that bothered her, but she can smell it from far away! She even freaks out when we put bug stuff on ourselves.

@italeigha I had such high hopes!
