Cheap, Effective Flea Treatments

by Shelly
(United States)

Help! My dog has fleas - I don't know where he picked them up from and I don't suppose that matters much. I need to get rid of them fast as I don't want him to suffer, nor do I want a dog flea infestation in my home.

The problem is I'm on a very tight budget and can't afford to take him to the vet but also I can't afford to buy treatments off the shelf.

Does anyone have any home remedies that I could try?

starstarstarstarstar 		A Flea Treatment That Works!
by: Shelly

Something I discovered by accident and sheer desperation. Back in 2004 we were renting a room in a house. The head renter had a king size mattress stored in the garage that he lent to us.

I vacuumed it prior to using but the first night we went nuts from fleas. I really didn't have much money at the time, but did have a bottle of eucalyptus oil, and a bottle of tea tree oil. I mixed about a 1/4 tsp of each in a spray bottle, added half a bottle of alcohol, rubbing, and filled the other half the spray bottle with water.

I then sprayed the mattress, first one side then the other. That night, not a bite or a flea in sight. Never had that problem again.

I have used just eucalyptus oil, but never killed the fleas so quickly as the misting of both oils. I have used it if needed since.

I swear by it.
