Natural Remedies to Repel Fleas

by Maria

July 2007

• Grind up some fennel seed in a blender or alike, and spread the powdered fennel everywhere you want to keep fleas out of (dog kennel, kids play area, inside/outside your home, doorways, etc.).
• Add a teaspoon or more of apple cider vinegar to the daily drinking water of any animal as a cure and prevention. This works well for people too in repelling fleas and other biting insects.
• Spread backing soda or borax on carpet / area rugs before vacuuming. It is most effective if you leave it on for a little while, a few hours or overnight before vacuuming it up. We interchange by using backing soda one day and borax the next.
• Consume garlic daily any way you can. Fresh garlic in food is great. Odorless garlic pill will also work. This is good for people and animals.
• Mix in a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil into the soap or bath water when bathing your pet.

Thank you for your excellent service. I ordered the Big Berkey Water Purifier on Friday, April 17 & received it on the following Wednesday! I was amazed how quickly it came. We love our Big Berkey! We were buying bottled water every week & throwing away all those plastic bottles (even though we recycle, it just didn't make sense anymore). The initial investment will be earned back quickly. We have our own well & even though it has tested safe, there have been problems in our area with chemicals from manufacturers & also pesticides & fertilizers from farms nearby. Now we feel safe when we & our pets use our water.

Thank you again,
Dianna
