Repelling Versus Killing
When choosing the appropriate way to deal with fleas, consider your options. Commercial flea killers are quick and effective; however, they use toxic chemicals to do it. If you are looking for a safer alternative which will not harm you, your family or pets, rosemary is the answer.
Rosemary
Rosemary can be used individually or mixed with other ingredients to create a flea repellent. It is completely safe for both you and your pets. When choosing rosemary for a flea repellent you can use oils or the leaves.
Applications
One option is sprinkle a few drops of rosemary oil onto your dog's or cat's collar to repel the fleas. Another option is to mix together rosemary, lavender and peppermint to create a flea repellent. All three ingredients repel fleas on their own. Together they make a pleasant smelling and effective flea treatment. Sprinkle the mixture on your pets, carpet, furniture and pet bedding.
