    Mainly don't want to use it because of the cost

    In all honesty you might find trying so many different things will cost more then getting a treatment. What size is your dog?

    yea I do, you get some and really rub it into them, DH drowns our puppy in it =P For the first 6 months or so we did it every month, because we noticed he was scratching etc. but in the last 2 months or so, we havent gotten around to it, and havent noticed him scratching or anything at all.

    Only chemicals will work unfortunately. I use Revolution, but Frontline plus is cheaper and is for fleas only. I get mine from eBay and it's heaps cheaper. A 6 month packet for a 10-20 kg dog is usually about $120 in the vets, but it's around $80 from eBay.

    Also it says one application every month, but sometimes I've done it every 6-8 weeks and my dog hasn't even started to scratch. So you can stretch it out longer.
