Pet Flea Control
I have a friend who has asked me how to treat and control fleas for her 2 dogs (65 lbs. each), and cat (7 lbs.). Can anyone help?

Re: Pet Flea Control
i have that product called Orange Guard.. i have used it in the past for ants.. but that is for the house.. not to put on the animal.. the other solution i am thinking of is a formulation sort of like the one we did for our camping bug spray that gail had i made.. maybe with eucalyptus, cedar, lemongrass? i made two one was in a almond oil base.. the other i put up in witch hazel so that i could spray it on my clothes.. used a strong decoction of herbs, rosemary, euc., and canary island sage Salvia
canariensis just happen to have it growing.. strong scent and deer NEVER have eaten it.. even when they are reeeallly parched. decoc that, even let it sit overnight.. then i mix 1/2 part the strong tea with 1/2 part water adding a few E.O. it worked like a charm it was for the mosquitos.. there's got to be a magic blend for fleas.
o... what is the name of the herb books for dog/cat?

Re: Pet Flea Control
thanks minimom, i'll add them to my amazon cart.
i have a correction on the formula i used with the decotion. it should read:
decoc that, even let it sit overnight.. then i mix 1/2 part the strong tea with 1/2 part witch hazel, then add your E.O.
NOT:
i must have been tired. wrote it wrong
