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?
