Create a diluted spray (lavender, eucalyptus, lemon) to lightly mist your pets’ bedding and areas they frequent. (Avoid spraying pets directly).

3. Regular Baths

Regular baths using gentle natural shampoos will remove and deter fleas effectively.

4. Flea-Repellent Collar

Soak a fabric collar in a diluted essential oil mix. Dry and place around pet’s neck, naturally repelling fleas.

Frequent vacuuming removes fleas from carpets, furniture, and corners where fleas commonly hide.
