If your like me , you like trying natural cures for health concerns, instead of using pesicides. I have had flea collars that rubbed sore spots on my cat's neck or caused contact dermatitis.
Cats might chew on each others collars, while breathing in the vabors that these products emit. The powders can get on your furniture or transfer onto your hands and onto your food as well.
Flea bombs can fill your house with a poisonous flammable powder cloud, that could cause an explode if you leave your stove pilot lights lit.
Natural Flea Repellents include:
Using dried pennyroyal around the outside of your house and lawn. Or sprinkle around inside your home and under the cushion on your cat's bed. (Do not use the oil, as it could pose serious health issues for cats).
Sprinkle lavender oil on 2-3 quarts of rock salt and let the salt absorb the oil. Sprinkle under dressers and sofa, and on your rugs.
Feed your cat brewer's yeast. The yeast gives the skin an oder that fleas do not like. To prevent gas problems, put the yeast in small amounts in moist cat food.
A friend of mine rubs the brewer's yeast in her cats fur and says this too helps prevent fleas on her cats.
If your cat is allergic to yeast, buy rice-based B-complex vitamins at your local natural food store.
Have you ever tried any of these natural methods?
