Tea Tree For Fleas

Preparation

To make your own flea spray, you need:

• An empty 2-ounce or larger plastic spray bottle (with a fine mist spray nozzle). You can buy these at many stores or online. If you have a collection of bottles, choose one that’s clean and without any residue on the inside.
• 1 cup water. This should be fresh tap water—not bottled—and it should not contain chlorine or fluoride additives. Tap water from a well may contain other minerals that can adversely affect the efficacy of this recipe; in general, it’s best to use filtered water if you have access to it. If you don’t have access to filtered water but do have an activated charcoal filter for your tap (like Brita), that will work as well!
• 10 drops tea tree essential oil

Application

Tea tree oil is a very powerful essential oil. It should be diluted before use, and applied to your pet using a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil. Dilution rates vary depending on the size of your pet, but in general you can expect to apply 1-2 drops of tea tree per 10 pounds of bodyweight. You can repeat this application once every few days until the infestation has subsided.

If you have an indoor cat that spends time outside, it may be helpful to apply tea tree oil directly to their bedding when they are inside as well as on their body when they are outside. This way all of their surroundings will become infested with fleas rather than just one area!
