What are your options for flea and tick control if you do not wish to use sprays, pills, or injections? Several healthy alternatives exist.
* Apply herbal flea powder “sparingly” to your pet’s Coat.
* Use herbal flea Collars.
* Apply natural skin tonic as a general skin toner, parasite repellent, and mange treatment.
* Add nutritional or brewer’s yeast and Garlic to the animal’s diet.
* Treat your carpets with a special antiflea mineral salt.
* Occasionally (once or twice a year) sprinkle natural, unrefined diatomaceous earth (which kills insects) along your walls, under your furniture, and in cracks where you cannot vacuum, but not directly on your animals.
* Use sprays or powders containing pyrethrins or natural pyrethrums, which are the least toxic of all insecticides used on pets.
* Another gentle weapon against fleas is a good flea comb with tightly spaced teeth. Your pet should be combed frequently during flea season, probably every day. When you find fleas, drop them into a bucket of soap suds to kill them and stop their spread.
* Try all-natural, preservative-free foods that are good remedies for or preventors of fleas: along with brewer’s yeast, try raw Garlic, zinc, and barley grass concentrates. Check with your veterinarian regarding the proper dosages depending on weight.
* Natural repellents do exist. Essential Oils such as Citronella, Tea Tree, Wintergreen, and Eucalyptus have been shown to work.
* Vacuum all surfaces where fleas and their eggs may live, and wash blankets and sheets in hot water.
