If you’re looking for alternatives to harmful flea-killing pesticides, look no further than your home. There are many natural pet flea treatment home remedies for dogs and cats that can help you with flea extermination and get rid of fleas and ticks if you look hard enough.
Cedar oil and cedar shavings are excellent weapons, as parasites simply hate the smell and will avoid them like the plague. You will remember the old treatment of using cedar chests and drawers to keep insects out. This is the same reason why you should use cedar wood related products. The beauty of cedar is that while parasites hate the smell of it, it smells great almost anywhere, including on us. Simply drip the essence on your pet, bedding, sofa covers, carpets and it will repel fleas from miles away.
One trick I often use, albeit a bit wacky, is to put a few drops of cedar oil oil in my bucket of cleaning water before mopping the house. This helps me cover almost every cedar-scented area, making my house smell nice while keeping bugs out. This approach has proven to be very effective as part of my pet flea treatment routine.
Another trick that I have discovered that is also very useful is that you can put a couple of drops of cedar oil in your washer or dryer and let the smell soak in. When you wear that protective armor, the fleas just avoid you and you also get full protection. But remember, never overdo the dosage. Also, make sure that everyone at home does not have any allergic reactions if you decide to use this home remedy to get rid of fleas.
And the cost is very affordable for the average home. Imagine being able to keep fleas at bay with just a few dollars a bottle of gas and it seems to last forever too. Natural cedar oil essence or chips are readily available at any drug store as they are quite popular among housewives and can be found in almost any home. If you’re too lazy to go shopping, just log on online and you can have them delivered to your doorstep. Some pet stores carry a variety of cedar-related products for pets, including pillows, bedding, and even small mattresses made from them.
Cedarwood is effective as a flea control measure on pets, as you can continue to use it to keep parasites away at a very affordable cost. They are readily available, easy to apply, and leave no side effects for both pets and your family members. So always keep some at home and keep using it as part of your flea extermination activities.
