Is there a homemade fLea repellent that actually works?

In: Pets

Answer

There are many natural products you can buy and one is 'Sergaents Nature's Guardian. You can also go to a large Health Food Store and ask their advice.

Putting a small amount of crushed garlic or (no odor garlic oil) into your dog or cat's food is also said to repel fleas. When giving the oil please check with your vet to be sure how much you should give your dog or cat. The old saying 'if you have a cat, you have fleas' is true. Still, just having a dog that is out in the backyard off and on is enough to bring fleas indoors. People also bring fleas into the home! If someone is cutting their lawn they will often bring in fleas without knowing it.

Fleas love the corners of rooms so every day vacuuming is a MUST and get in those corners as well as vacuuming carpets, mats, under the cushions of sofas and the sofas.. I use a piece off a flea collar in my vacuum bag and you can also do this with a natural flea collars. It is best to use a spray or oil put between the dog or cat's shoulder blades rather than a flea collar of any sort. Flea collars can often cause irritation around the neck of pets.
