Small addition/ not eo's BUT,,, If you have Pennyroyal the herb, put it under

cushions and around the base boards, give the nasties less places to hide.

 

I fully agree with Butch about spraying the dog, especially with very potent

oils. I've got a young whippersnapper here and he really DOES lick himself as

much as one of me cats...

 

LURV me dog! ;-)

Hello,

I breed so I won't use anything at all toxic. I wouldn't anyway but

my stud had a very bad reaction to the drops the vet gave me

I had a nursing dog , newborn pups and fleas in the middle of winter!

What worked for me is shampooing and give a final rinse with 1/2

apple cider vinager 1/2 warm water- your dog will smell like a

salad, but it works.

 

I also use flower essences, on my dogs a product called flee free,

its for all kinds of parisites, doesn't harm the dogs at all and I

haven't seen a flea in years since I have been using it.

If you like I will send you the link to the company.

Hi, Gea, you poor thing!!!! : (

 

Get some borax powder, sprinkle it onto your carpet, work it well into the

carpet fibers with a stiff brush, wait overnight and then vacuum up the

excess. Be sure to move all pups, kids, birds, kitties, people and other

living creatures out of the room before you sprinkle. Once the stuff is

worked in and vacuumed, it's safe, but not good for anyone to breathe in --

especially the little ones. And wear something over your own nose and mouth

while beating the carpet! You may have to do half the house one day and the

other half the next, since you have to move everyone around.

 

Borax is a dessicant -- very drying -- and fleas need moisture to live. The

borax sucks out their moisture and the little buggers suffocate and die. If

you have a company called Fleabusters in your area, they'll come out and do

it for you, but it will cost you lots more than if you go to the grocery

store and get the borax yourself! (In the aisle with laundry and dish soaps,

usually. Same stuff grandma used to add to the wash loads.)

 

Best of luck!!

Oh Val, I

sympathize! We’ve been through this twice. I did NOT want to

bomb our house, so we actually conquered them by mostly natural means.

You can buy diatomaceous earth (food grade) and put it all over your

floors, and it will handle the fleas, but you have to be careful not to breathe

it into your lungs while spreading it around. You can actually EAT it, and it will handle parasites, but you musn’t

get it into your lungs or eyes. Do a search and get data on it. Organic

farmers use it in their crops to control pests. It worked great for

us.

 

We also bought 4 little electronic devices that you plug into

sockets and they emit a super high-pitched frequency that we can’t hear,

and I don’t think it bothers pets either, but it drives fleas and mice

crazy, and they leave. You get them from hardware stores or stores like

Home Depot. They’re cheap. Just make sure that after several

weeks, you unplug them for a couple weeks, because the fleas get used to it (I

was told,) especially the newly born fleas.

 

Over a year ago we had the fleas, and I handled the itching

by pretty much gouging the bites, because the flea leaves a little piece of

substance in the skin – that’s what causes the itching. It

worked, but the marks still haven’t totally gone away, so I’ll

never do that again. What works pretty well is a product by Dessert

Essence called Blemish Touch Stick for blemishes. It has tea tree oil,

but if you just use plain tea trea oil, you can end up with dermatitis.

But the Blemish Stick has moisturizers that prevent the skin from being

irritated. I use it for everything. It really heals.

 

Another good thing is aloe vera right from the plant.

It’s really strong. Or – a combination of 2 things, like peroxide

and then aloe or the blemish stick or other tea tree product.

 

It’s important to vacuum constantly and to immediately

wrap the vacuum cleaner bag in a tightly closed plastic bag and dispose of it,

or the fleas will come back out. Particularly go over the areas where the

cats sleep or walk or stand, wash clothes and all bedding in very hot water and

bag up stuff you don’t need – oh, it’s a hassle! Do

searches on fleas, and it will tell you more things. You have to learn

about fleas and understand their life cycles, etc.

 

As for the cats, I don’t know of natural

remedies, because we don’t have pets now. (We got fleas last year

because we had racoons in our attic!!)

 

Best of luck!

Herbal Remedies - Fleas

 

 

 

 

I haven't been around for awhile, but was

wondering

if anyone could give me an herbal remedy for

fleas,

how to rid kittens of them and how to stop the

itching

from the bites. My daughter looks like she

has a disease

from so many flea bites (they bite her 3 times

more than

me and they love me) what can I give her or

put on her

that will stop them from biting and stop the

itching and

help heal her sores. She is embarassed by

them and is 16

not a good combo. The kittens are 3 weeks

and covered with

fleas, I have tried to bath the mother, but she

will have

none of it, I have tried several ways and to no

avail.

Please help if you can. Thanks Vallee

A raw diet for your cats would go a long way towards discouraging fleas. My

3.75yo raw fed Golden has never had a flea in her life.

 

Another remedy is nematodes, which are little worms that come in a

freeze-dried package and you spray them on your lawn. They eat flea larvae.

When we found a stray kitten about 4 yrs ago, she had fleas. I started putting about 1/2 tsp of garlic root extract in her Iams canned food (of which she eats one can a day); and in about 3 days, the fleas were gone. I have done this every day since, and she has never had fleas since then. BTW, she's an outside cat.

Jan be careful. Your cat seems to be tolerating it but garlic is VERY toxic to cats!

Have you ever read the ingredients on that can of Iams cat food? Not much nutrition in there for a carnivore. Cats don't have any need for anything but meat. I'd bet there's very little of that in that can.

 

No criticism....just FYI. There's lots better foods out there.

I do know about it, but wasn't sure how to take care of the ones

actually on the kittens till they are older? Thanks though, I will

go and get some. We have used that for ants and pill bugs.

The kittens are 3 wks old and covered with them. The apt we moved

into was infested when we moved in and so now the cats are. My

daughter needs something on her that will repell them also.

Thanks for the advise.

That is good for the mother of the kittens, maybe her milk will get

the garlic in the milk and it will work for them too. Thanks for the

suggestions everyone.

Val, I don’t know if anyone else suggested this, but

taking lots of B vitamins, B1 in particular, is supposed to keep people and

animals pretty bug-free. If you take B1, make sure you also take B

complex, C, and calcium so as not to get a B deficiency. For your daughter,

there’s a liquid form of B vitamins from Twinlab.

Why not give your daughter garlic?

 

Re my cat and her dose of garlic bulb extract, people comment on how beautiful her fur is for an outside cat--soft and shiny. She's five years old, and still likes to play and romp when we're outside with her. Unless, she's hungry, she is out roaming and has her usual "cat nap" during the day. Maybe the garlic *bulb* is the difference as the source of the garlic. She also has never had vaccines. I think one has to look at the whole picture.

I will try that too, something has to be done. Maybe garlic pills.

We eat alot of garlic, but it doesn't seem to help that way.

I never thought about putting it directly on them. I used to feed

that to my dog with his food, good plan. Thanks to everyone for the

suggestions

I’ll just take a stab here and assume that you just

throw bulbs of garlic in the juicer! J That would surely be the most potent

form. Unless there’s something I don’t know about.

Why not give your daughter garlic?

 

 

 

 

 

Re my cat and her dose of garlic bulb

extract, people comment on how beautiful her fur is for an

outside cat--soft and shiny. She's five years old, and still likes

to play and romp when we're outside with her. Unless, she's hungry, she

is out roaming and has her usual " cat nap " during the day.

Maybe the garlic *bulb* is the difference as the source of the

garlic. She also has never had vaccines. I think one has to

look at the whole picture.

The kittens are 3 wks old and covered with

them. The apt we moved

into was infested when we moved in and so now the

cats are. My

daughter needs something on her that will repell

them also.

Thanks for the advise.

Nature's Answer garlic bulb is the only extract (liquid tincture) I have ever found other than Kyolic. And I personally do not care for kyolic, as I feel it is too harsh. You can order on-line at: www.vitacost.com or may be able to find it at a local health store. It's $4.75 for a one ounce bottle at vitacost.

Fleas HATE neem oil. You can spray it on their bedding.

Hi Kumilela,

 

There have been many posts on this in the past. You'll find lots of good

information in the archives. I think most of it is around how to keep

the pests off your pets. This would include adding garlic to their food,

various essential oils have been suggested (for dogs, not cats), etc.

For outdoors you can also use diatomaceous earth. Google it. There's

lots of good information out there.

 

Best,

Kelli

Hi Kumilela,

 

I don't know about killing them, but Eucalyptus will keep them away. Plant

a few trees in the yard gather some discarded bark from road side trees and

spread it around the outside of the house. It may not kill them, but it

will keep them away.

 

With our Lord's blessings,

 

Doug
