Because his skin is so sensitive she sprayed his collar with the spray I made...He never got one bite! I used 10 drops of peppermint oil, 10 drops of lemongrass oil and 10 drops of lavender oil, (all flea tick and insects repellents) added these to a cup of water and put in a spray bottle. this is also supposed to work on humans as well...,Of course it has to be applied more often but, I feel it's better than putting chemicals on our furbutts. |
i actually did this for the dogs but these oils cannot be used on the cats via the research i did online so that leaves me still putting toxic stuff on the cats and i have one who goes outside and hunts everything so hes probably bringing the varmits in!! thank you for sharing though!!
