im not sure about what to use directly on a pig. but using a spray that has Permethrin In it will kill all the pests in and around her pen area. and you might be able to use on animals but read bottle first. and to tell you the truth I rarely have problems with fleas on my pigs.

DE will work. Diatanatous Earth (sp) Just sprinkle some all over and on the bedding and the flees will die. I have used it for dogs also. Totally safe.

Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
DE won't work.
Do you have Dawn dish soap or same ingredient soap?
Does the pig live in the house or outside?
Move the pig to a new hut and yard if outside
If inside, wash everything the pig walks on and sleeps on, spray flea chemicals on floors and couches.
