7 drops peppermint essential oil and
3 drops lemon essential oil
Store it in a dark glass bottle.
Apply 2-4 drops to the back of the neck, chest, legs, and tail base you can also add a few drops to a bandanna or cotton collar.
I use this on my three and it is completely safe for them. I just started using it on my Friday and she was just bred. I can say that this blend kills fleas because I gave Friday a bath and comb her with a flea comb, only found one and put a drop of the oil blend on it within a few second it was dead.
Oh and I got the recipe from this book.

Wow! Thanks so much. I've only had a flea issue way back a few years ago, but you never know when you may need it. I'm going to run this by my Reproductive Vet, but it does look completely safe and organic.
