Essential Oils

Essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and cedarwood can help repel fleas. You can mix a few drops of these oils with water and spray it on your pet's fur (make sure to avoid their eyes and mouth). You can also add a few drops of these oils to your pet's shampoo for extra protection.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that can be sprinkled on carpets, furniture, and pet bedding to kill fleas. It works by dehydrating the fleas and their eggs, ultimately getting rid of them. Just make sure to use food-grade diatomaceous earth to ensure it's safe for your pets.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be added to your pet's water or sprayed on their fur to help repel fleas. The acidity of the vinegar makes it difficult for fleas to survive on your pet's skin. Just be sure to dilute the vinegar with water before using it on your pet.
