Tea Tree Oil For Fleas On Cats
Introduction
Tea tree oil is a natural, botanical essential oil that can be used to kill fleas and ticks on your cat.
Tea tree oil has been used since the 1940’s for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tea tree oil has been used since the 1940’s for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to be a powerful natural flea repellent that can help prevent the spread of fleas between animals and humans, as well as kill adult fleas.
It is a natural substance derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a plant native to Australia.
Tea tree oil is a natural substance derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a plant native to Australia. The oil has been used by aboriginal populations in Australia for hundreds of years. It was first introduced to the rest of the world as an alternative treatment for acne in the 1920s and has since gained popularity as a natural remedy for many conditions. While tea tree oil can be ingested safely when diluted with water or taken internally as an essential oil, it should not be ingested undiluted.
The oil can be used in many ways; it is particularly effective as a topical ointment that relieves inflammation and irritation.
Tea tree oil is a staple in the medicine cabinet. It can be used to treat just about any ailment and come in many forms. You’ll find it in a liquid, cream, or ointment form.
There are even new ways to use tea tree oil that aren’t considered traditional methods. Some people like to use their own method of applying the product by shaving their dog and massaging them with the oil after they shower (this is not recommended). Others choose to add drops of this product into their dog’s water bowl every day, but if you do this make sure your pet doesn’t consume too much because they might vomit if they drink too much at once! Some pets may also get sick from ingesting too much tea tree oil so make sure you’re not putting toxic amounts into either method before trying either one out yourself as well!
It fights infection by killing bacteria on contact, is said to reduce the size of pimples, eliminate lice, soothe sunburns, and calm rashes.
Tea tree oil is a natural antifungal and antibacterial agent. It works by killing bacteria on contact, which makes it effective in treating skin infections like acne or boils. Tea tree oil also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent that can reduce the size of pimples, eliminate lice, soothe sunburns, and calm rashes caused by eczema or psoriasis.
The active ingredients in tea tree oil include terpinen-4-ol (which provides a fresh scent), cineole (which has a woody scent), alpha-terpineol (an aroma similar to eucalyptus), limonene (which gives off citrus scents) and camphor. These components may be absorbed through the skin when applied topically but are not harmful if swallowed because they are quickly metabolized by the liver before they reach other organs such as the brain or kidneys
Tea tree oil contains natural compounds terpinenol-4 and cineole that are known to be deadly to fleas. In addition to fleas, it is also effective against ticks, mites, and other insects.

Tea tree oil has become extremely popular as a natural insect repellent over the last 20 years due to its low toxicity levels. It can be used as a pesticide and is safe for pets, children and people with allergies. However, it is not very toxic in small amounts and kills fleas and ticks on contact. Tea tree oil can be used in shampoo, soap or lotion to help repel fleas from your cat’s fur and skin. Tea tree oil is also an effective insect repellent for humans!
When applied directly on the skin, tea tree oil causes no adverse effects for humans or animals.
When applied directly to the skin, tea tree oil causes no adverse effects for humans or animals. However, it should be noted that tea tree oil is moderately toxic if ingested by cats. It’s important to keep your cat away from the bottle of tea tree oil after you’ve applied it and make sure he doesn’t ingest any of the liquid.
There are several different ways in which you can apply tea tree oil directly to your cat’s fur:
- Using a soft cloth dipped in some diluted (1/4 cup) tea tree oil solution, rub down your cat’s fur from head to tail until he is well-coated with the liquid. You can either let him walk around for awhile before brushing him out again or brush him immediately after applying so that all of those nasty fleas are removed at once!
- After showering, rub an undiluted amount onto a clean towel and use this towel on your kitty as an extra-gentle way of removing fleas from his coat without getting his skin wet (just like people). The natural antiseptic properties will help heal any itchy spots where there were bites while also killing any existing insect infestation on contact!
The only issue with using tea tree oil is that it should not be ingested nor should it enter the eyes or mouth of any living being. If it does enter the system orally or via eyes or nose, it can cause drowsiness and nausea in humans (obviously).
Tea tree oil is not a replacement for your regular flea treatment. It is best used in conjunction with other treatments as an extra layer of protection against these tiny pests.

There are several ways you can utilize tea tree oil in your home to repel fleas on your cat(s).
- Put a few drops of the oil on the cat’s neck, or use a bandana with some drops of tea tree oil and tie the bandana around your cat’s neck. This will help repel fleas from coming near them.
- You can also put a few drops of tea tree oil into a diffuser and leave it running throughout the day or night. The aroma will keep away not only fleas but other bugs as well.
- Another way to use this natural pest repellent is to spray it around the house. Tea tree oil has many benefits that make it an excellent choice for this job; its strong smell deters pests such as spiders, rodents and cockroaches from entering your home! It is important however that you do not spray directly onto any surface where food preparation takes place (elevate any food prep surfaces above 3 feet off ground level) as there have been instances where people consumed this product unknowingly by taking bites out of bread before realizing its presence due to its strong odor being masked by other food smells such as bread baking in oven).
