I've heard raw garlic can make cats/dogs extremely sick and even result in their death, so be aware.

That flee tea is too expensive, and does not list what is in it, you should do thorough research before ever using herbs on pets as some are toxic even to humans, and could make them sick or even cause death. Furthermore, here is a simple remedy you can make at home. Thinly slice one whole lemon and add it peel and all to one pint of water and put into a pot of water on the stove, bring just to the boiling point and turn it off, then let it sit over night. Then add to a spray bottle and spray while massaging into your pets fur and skin until damp, not drenched but damp. This is a natural flea killer and only needs to be done once a month.
I am an herbalist, faith believer of God, and a Certified Kundalini Reiki Master/Teacher, amongst other things, so I know what I am telling you is excellent advice.

Just check with your vet before you dose your cats etc. Also young kittens can be poisoned with some of these remedies. The cheap flea stuff at Walmart has made my cats sick. Bottom line be very careful. If it is harmful to pregnant women etc, what will it do to your cat? Now I keep my two cats in the house and fleas are not a problem.

I just bathed my feral kittens then rinsed with vinegar. Do not rinse the vinegar off - just dry them - put in bathtub - vinegar does not kill fleas it just gets them off the kitten. I went in every 5 minutes and picked up the fleas (flushed them down) after 15-20 minutes remove kittens and clean tub (washing fleas down the drain). Will have to repeat but this can be used on young kittens - keep kits from draft until completely dry.

Add nutritional yeast to their food (sprinkle it on) and also pill them with a small pill sized piece of garlic once a day. Then you won't need any other treatments.
Pennyroyal oil is great; you put a dab of the oil on the base of the tail and under the neck,but it's ery strong smelling and will make the pets' eyes water and yours too. If they lick it, they will froth because it's "hot" like fresh cinnamon oil. It is not to be used around pregnant women as it can cause miscarraige.
By the way, pennyroyal oil works to repel termites as well so if your neighbors have a problem, sprinkle it around your house.

You could try a spray bottle with some Olive Oil and add a couple drops of Peppermint or Lavender essential oil. Mist the animal a couple of times and then rub the oils in with your hands. For some reason fleas and ticks don't like Peppermint or Lavender.

before flea drops came out I always put a capfull of gum spirits of turnpentine in my mop water and used D.E. were my animals slept and kept them away from other animals that had fleas and I never had any problems. I'm not using anything now and still don't have any fleas.
