 Fleas, fleas, fleas
Hi there,
As already mentioned eucalyptus is a flea repellent, however it is toxic to dogs. I use eucalyptus round my house in areas my yorkie cannot get to e.g. in the furntiure or under the carpet. This will kill the fleas but more importantly their eggs.
If you grow plants, it would be worth looking into growing lavender and mint.
Both these herbs are non-toxic to animals and will repel dog fleas.
If you already grow lavender try drying a small amount of the flowers and place them in your dog bed.
The mint must also be dried and then can be used just about anywhere in the house. Try using it in your dogs bed, on your sofa, under your carpets and in your furniture.
Having mint or lavender around the house is great, they have soothing properties and they will also leave a lovely fragrance, add this on to their herbal flea control properties and you have a winning formula!
Hope this helps! |
