Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Does anyone have a homemade recipe for flea control for cats? I remember seeing one somewhere that involved citronella but can't locate it now. TIA, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Dear Kathy, Citronella and other things like eucolyptus and other oils deter fleas but do not handle them for good on your pet. The best remedy I have found in the flea capital of the U.S. (being Florida) is adding fresh garlic to the pets food. Cats prefer dried and powdered to fresh but you can still attain the same results with powdered garilc, just takes longer. Doc has a Total Pet Nutrition that also has garlic in it and once you relly notice that the fleas are totally gone this formula alone will keep up the maintenance for your pets repelling fleas. Garlic is also good for killing parasites in the animals bodies as well. But fresh garlic is the most effective flea repellent and preventative I have ever found. Using a garlic press use about 1 clover per each 10 lbs of your pet. Cats should get about 1/4 a clove for every 8 lbs. At least this is what has worked for my pets.
