1. If your dog or cat is suffering from fleas, make a "tea" of lemon peel and water, and let it steep overnight. Citrus naturally repels fleas—if you sponge the tea on your flea-infested pet, the fleas will die instantly.
2. Rub your pet all over with tansy, fennel, basil or mint, pennyroyal, or another strong-smelling herb. You can also grow these herbs, as well as wormwood, rue, pyrethrum, or marigolds around kennel areas or parts of the yard where your pet likes to play or bask in the sun.
3. Add salt to the water that you bathe your pet in to kill fleas.
4. Add brewer's yeast to your pets’ food—animals that eat brewer’s yeast are distasteful to fleas. This natural "additive" will give them a shiny coat to boot!
