I will read some more about it. I have it diluted and it has not irritated my babies at all.

Eucalyptus is used not only to control fleas but also to repel existing infestations. It is a powerful deterrent against fleas as it produces a strong, distinctive scent which they find intolerable. It can be used directly on animals or on furniture, bedding, carpets or pet collars. The essential oil is also found in many commercial natural flea repellents.

Eucalyptus can be used for flea control in various forms. The essential oil is the concentrated essence of the plant and the strongest form available. It can be diluted with water and used as a spray to keep fleas away. A few drops placed on a pet's collar are also effective, as long as the pet cannot chew on the collar and ingest the oil. It can also be used to make a natural flea shampoo by mixing several drops with a natural soap base or baby shampoo.
Another way to use eucalyptus for flea control is to place leaves under carpets or bedding where pets frequent or the flea infestation is worst. Using eucalyptus seed pods in this way is also effective.
