Natural Flea and Tick Control For Dogs and Cats!

Natural Flea and Tick Control For Dogs and Cats!
By Brett Rodgers

Anyone looking for an alternative to using dangerous pesticides on their dogs and cats to repel fleas and ticks should try CEDAR OIL and CEDAR shavings. Remember grannies old cedar wood chest? She put clothes and other important things in there that she did not want the bugs to get to. Bugs hate cedar wood but it smells great to most humans. This essential oil is the perfect flea and tick repellent! Cedar wood oil is totally natural, you can drip it all over your pet, (even on your pets belly) and it won’t kill or make your pet sick! Yea! In addition to all that, cedar wood oil is inexpensive.

An application of cedar wood essential oil on a large dog costs only about $1! If you buy an extra large bottle the cost would be even smaller. You can buy cedar wood oil at any health food store or on-line. Also, put cedar shavings in your dogs house for pet bedding. It’s awesome and works while your pet sleeps. If you like you can use the cedar shavings as a pet bedding in a pet pillow inside the house as well.

In the past I have tried other natural forms of flea and tick control like Diatomaceous earth, garlic, Borax, flea collars, pyrethrum, Pennyroyal and others. They did not work and most of them were problematic. After using diatomaceous earth my lungs burned for two days. Borax created a nasty mess and smell all over the house too. Cedar oil works GREAT though. Bugs run like hell!

Apply the oil all over your pet OUTSIDE. (As soon as the oil hits the pet, the bugs will evacuate so you don’t want to apply it in the house!) Then thoroughly brush it into the fur. Re-apply once or twice a week during the peak season for bugs in your area.

I hope this article has helped you with natural flea and tick control for your dog, cat or other critter.
