Natural Oils That Kill Fleas

Can essential oils get rid of fleas? That depends on a couple of things. For example, is it an adult flea or a baby flea?   Fleas lay eggs which means there will be more to worry about after you think you have gotten rid of all the fleas on your dog.   Keep reading to discover how to use essential oils to kill fleas and other helpful information. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years as ingredients in perfumes, medicines and other various things. Some people use essential oils to scent their water while others use them in a diffuser to purify the air. What most people don’t know is that these oils can be used to drive fleas from your carpets, floors, and more. Now you may be wondering, how are essential oils good at repelling pests?

Natural Oils That Kill Fleas

Eucalyptus oil

Eucalyptus oil is a natural alternative to insecticides, and it can be effective against fleas. You can use eucalyptus oil as part of your daily routine to keep fleas at bay or use it in conjunction with other products or natural remedies.

The first step in using eucalyptus oil is applying it directly to your pet’s fur and skin, preferably before they go outside. When applying the oil directly, you should not rub it into the animal’s coat; rather, you should let the fur absorb the oil naturally by leaving some time between application and outdoor time. For best results, you should reapply eucalyptus oil every three weeks (or sooner if needed).

If you’re having trouble finding an insecticide that works well on your dog or cat without having potentially harmful ingredients, consider trying out this alternative method instead!

Lavender oil

Lavender oil is an effective way to kill fleas on pets, but it can also repel mosquitoes and moths. To use it as such, mix about 1 drop of lavender oil per teaspoon of water. Wash your pet with this mixture or spray it onto the fur in areas where your pet spends time. You can also add a few drops of the mixture to shampoo when washing your pet’s coat; this will help keep fleas away and make their coats look shiny and beautiful!

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil is a natural way to kill fleas. It’s extracted from the peppermint plant and comes in liquid form. You can buy it at health food stores or online, along with other natural remedies like diatomaceous earth, baking soda, and vinegar.

How does peppermint oil work?

The chemicals in peppermint oil are toxic to insects, including fleas. They disrupt their nervous systems and lead to death by paralysis or respiratory distress — which sounds pretty brutal but better than being covered in festering sores!

How do you use this method?

You can apply it directly onto your dog’s skin as needed for about 30 seconds before rinsing off with water (or else use diluted white vinegar). You can also add a few drops of the essential oil into your dog’s bath water as a deterrent if they’re not currently infested with flea eggs or larvae

Lemongrass oil

Lemongrass oil is a natural pesticide and flea deterrent. It can be used on both pets and in the garden. It’s also safe to use around children and pregnant women, so long as it is diluted properly (no more than 1% dilution).

Lemongrass oil has a strong citrus scent that may not be for everyone, but it does have some powerful flea-killing properties. To use lemongrass oil for indoor flea control: mix 1 teaspoon of lemongrass essential oil with 1 tablespoon carrier oil (like coconut or olive), then add 5 drops of this mixture per gallon of water in your spray bottle. Spray the floors, furniture and rugs in affected rooms once weekly until all signs of fleas are gone; repeat treatment every week or two if necessary until there are no new signs of infestation after 3 months

Cinnamon oil

Cinnamon oil is an effective flea killer and preventative. When applied to your pet’s skin, it can keep the little bloodsuckers at bay for up to three weeks! Cinnamon oil should be diluted with water before application to your dog or cat.

To apply cinnamon oil:

  • Pour at least 1 cup of water into a plastic dishpan or small bucket.
  • Add 5 drops of cinnamon bark essential oil to the water and stir until dissolved (you can also add more drops if desired).
  • Mix 1 teaspoon of this solution into 1 ounce of carrier oil (like coconut or olive), then apply it directly to your dog’s fur, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyes and mouth. This should be repeated two times per week for best results—but always check with your vet first. If you don’t have access to a full-strength concentration right away, there are some other ways you can use less potent forms like cinnamon tea bags or capsules filled with powder made from ground bark rather than just using whole sticks since these contain other compounds that may have negative side effects when consumed orally in large amounts (especially by children!).

Oils can be an effective way to get rid of fleas.

Using oils to get rid of fleas is a safe, simple, and effective method. There are several oils that can be used for this purpose. The oils listed below are commonly known as natural flea repellents:

  • Eucalyptus oil
  • Lavender essential oil
  • Peppermint essential oil
  • Lemongrass essential oil
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil (when used in conjunction with eucalyptus)

These oils make effective flea repellent sprays because they have an unpleasant odor that deters fleas from attacking your pet. You can also purchase these ingredients separately at the grocery store or health food store and mix them yourself into an all-natural spray solution!
