Admin...not sure if this is where this belongs....if not please move.

I have read a couple of threads lately about fleas and what is safe....Someone posted this on here over a year ago. (Original Poster...I hope you don't mind that I am re-posting this).

It is all natural oils and is applied to the back of the neck ...I haven't had a problem with fleas so I haven't used it. Don't know about you guys but I would rather use something natural on my furbabies than to use something that is chemicals

Here it is!

Flea be Gone!

* Peppermint Oil
* Cinnamon Leaf (not Cinnamon Bark) Oil
* Lemon Grass Oil
* Clove Oil
* Thyme Oil
* A carrier oil, such as sweet almond or jojoba

In a small jar fitter with an eye dropper lid, add 15mLs (1/2 oz) of a carrier oil, one drop each of Thyme, Cinnamon Leaf and Clove, and four drops each of Peppermint and Lemon Grass. Shake well before applying drops to your dog's neck and back, parting your dog's hair so that the solution is applied to the skin. Use five drops per ten lbs of body weight. Do not apply to puppies under 12 weeks of age. Apply as frequently as every two weeks. Alternately, six drops of Geranium, four drops of Peppermint, and two drops of Lavender in 15 mLs of a carrier oil can also be used to effectively repel fleas and ticks
