[LoShiNi]

Fleas are a problem for those of us with dogs or cats. It’s nearly impossible to get rid of them. We can find a great range of anti-flea products available, but most contain harmful chemicals that can affect the health of your pet.

Here are 4 completely natural solutions to get rid of these annoying pests that make life impossible for our pets (and us).

1. Make the shampoo more powerful

To have a flea-free house, it’s important for you to give your dog a bath as frequently as it is needed. However, here’s a way to make the shampoo even more effective.

Just mix half a cup of dog shampoo with half a cup of squeezed lemon juice. Rub the mixture on your dog once per week, and you’ll see how quickly it solves the problem.

2. Make an improvised anti-flee collar

There are many flea collars available to purchase, but they can be toxic to your four-legged baby. So, use a bandanna instead.

Mix 5 to 7 drops of lavender oil with a couple of tablespoons of water. Then, with a dropper, put a few drops onto the bandanna and wrap it around your pet’s neck!

3. Use your garden to keep fleas away from your pets

Some plants such as sage, lemongrass, basil, and mint are natural repellents to fleas and other pests.

4. Make a non-toxic, homemade flea poison

If your pet already has fleas, you can make this remedy to get rid of them. Take half a cup of baking soda and half a teaspoon of orange essential oil. Mix them together in a jug and rub the mixture on your pet’s fur. Simple!


Now, you don’t have to spend money on toxic products for your pet. With these tips, you’ll have a house free of fleas.
