Fleas & Ticks

[Lee]

I am looking for some advise for a natural way to kill or repel fleas & ticks. My toy poodle had a bad reaction to Advantix II. He has used Frontline & was OK, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't really want to put any chemicals on him. Right now he is having a flea problem. I'm mixing white vinegar & water & spraying it on him which smells yucky. He still seems to be getting them. I don't want to bath him in any flea & tick shampoo either since his Advantix II reaction. Any advise?

Thanks.
