There are herbs and leaves from trees that can be applied on the fur of a dog to repel ticks and fleas. Fleas and ticks are not only a nuisance for pets but can also pose significant health risks. While conventional treatments are effective, they often come with concerns about toxicity for pets and the environment. Thus, many pet owners are seeking natural alternatives.Fleas thrive in warm, humid conditions and can multiply rapidly.
Trimming and Clean-Up: Removing leaf litter and trimming shrubs and tree limbs allows sunlight to penetrate, reducing the damp, dark conditions that fleas and ticks prefer.Diatomaceous Earth: This natural powder, made from fossilized algae, is highly effective against fleas. Sprinkling food-grade diatomaceous earth around windows, doors, baseboards, and pet bedding can kill fleas by dehydrating them.
Lavender: Known for its soothing properties, lavender oil can also prevent tick eggs from hatching and repel fleas. Bays claims that adding a few drops to your pet’s shampoo can help keep these pests away. Rosemary and Cedar: Both oils are excellent for repelling fleas and ticks. They can be added to shampoos or carrier oils to protect pets naturally.Natural flea and tick control also involves improving the pet’s overall health through diet and supplements. Supplements such as neem, brewer’s yeast, fenugreek can make a pet’s skin less attractive to fleas and ticks as mentioned in the article titled, “How to Transition to Natural Flea and Tick Control” in The Neem Team Serendipity Herbals website.
