Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Natural, Homemade flea spray My mom gave me a new book on "going green" topics. One of the things they mentioned in there was an all natural flea spray. According to the author, peppermint and cederwood oils help repel fleas. They recommend using a peppermint liquid castile soap for bathing and then using the following spray on them: 4 oz distilled water 10 drops peppermint essential oil 10 drops cedarwood essential oil -Mix the ingredients together and store in a dark glass spray bottle. They also recommend making a natural flea collar by using a natural hemp or cotton covered collar- putting 5 drops of peppermint, 5 drops of cedarwood oil in your hand and rubbing into the collar, repeating every 2 weeks. Any thoughts? Opinions? Caveats?

| I use Natural Defence spot on formula. It has all oils in it and from what I read on the box it doesn't have any harmful chemicals. It has worked for us so far! It smells like a strong cinnamon. I love the smell. You can find it at Petsmart , that's where I bought mine.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Thanks for those ideas. I'll definitely look in to them. The Advantage I've been using works well for them, but 20 years in the medical field has left me very sensitive to chemicals. When I put their last dose on them, I broke out in a rash. I don't want my babies to get bit, but I want to be able to hold them, too.
