In this article, we will talk about home remedies for ticks and fleas that are easy to use and effective.
Natural Remedy For Fleas And Ticks
Essential oils are a great option for getting rid of fleas and ticks
Essential oils are a great option for getting rid of fleas and ticks. This is because they are natural, effective and safe for both you and your pet. Essential oils do not have any chemicals or synthetic ingredients which means they can be used safely around children or other pets. Their use dates back thousands of years as a natural remedy for various health conditions including skin problems like rashes, acne etc..
You can make the essential oil spray with the following ingredients
1 cup of vinegar
2 drops of lemon essential oil (or other citrus essential oil)
4 cups of water
Mix the vinegar with water
To start, gather the following items:
- a spray bottle or atomizer (if you don’t have one, you can use the bottle that your vinegar came in)
- water
- white vinegar (about 1/3 cup)
Once you have these things, fill your spray bottle with water and add in some white vinegar. You’ll want to add enough so that when it’s all mixed together, there’s about 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Pour this into a separate spray bottle if necessary.
Add the essential oils to the mixture
Essential oils are a great option for getting rid of fleas and ticks. However, they only work when they are used correctly. Essential oils can be toxic if used incorrectly. When using essential oils to treat pests on your pet, make sure you use the right amount of oil and the right concentration of it. You should also make sure that the oil is appropriate for the pest you’re trying to get rid of in order to avoid any complications or side effects in your beloved pet or family member!
Mix well in a spray bottle
Shake well before each use. You do not need to mix this solution every time you use it.
Apply to your dog’s coat.
Now that you have your mixture, it’s time to apply it to your dog’s coat. The first step is to shake the bottle well and spray a light layer of the mixture over all of your dog’s fur. Remember that this is not a repellent or preventative measure; it will kill fleas and ticks on contact. So be sure to rub the mixture in well until you see no more white residue left behind on their fur.
Put a few drops on your dog’s collar for good measure.
When applying the spray, be sure to coat your dog’s skin and not just the fur. You can use a standard spray bottle or use a cotton ball and rub the essential oils into the fur.
If you want to take it one step farther, add a few drops of essential oils to your dog’s collar for good measure. This will help control any fleas or ticks that might try to make their way onto your pet as well!
Just remember: If you’re going out in public with your best friend, always make sure that he is safe from any potential harm!
