What is a good all natural treatment for fleas?

Tweezers and a magnifying glass..Cant get any more natural than that. Of course you need a lot of time on your hands to maintain it. LOL I'd rather use the drops.

if they are in you house, they breed in millions and hatch constantly. You will need to have the home exterminated. Put on a pair odf white socks and walk around your home and see if they turn black with flees,You will know what ot do. Then for the dog get it to a groomer and then follow up with a flea shampoo @ home on a regular basis, Have a flee comb to get to the skin area of the dog since they travel fast and hard to see.

Flea Spritzer Blend:
2 drops of cedarwood, lemongrass, rose geranium
1 teaspoon AVC (apple cider vinegar)
1 teaspoon vodka
1 cup of dried peppermint, eucalyptus, bay leaf herbs
1- 2 cups of water

Add the essential oils and vodka in a bottle, tighten the lid and shake well. Once the mixture blended (should turn white), add apple cider vinegar. If you have some herbs mentioned above you can make an herbal tea to use in your spritzer.
Boil 2-4 cups of water and remove from heat. Add your dried herbs in the water and let is simmer for 30 minutes. Once cool, drain and use instead of plain water in your spritzer. If you are using an herbal tea, this mixture must be kept in the refrigerator as the herbal teas have the tendency to go bad faster.
Once you have your spritzer you can use this by gently spraying it in to your dogs coat, legs, tummy and back. Rub it in well and apply it as necessary. Do not use any of the essential oils on your dogs face or around nose, ears and eyes. Respect the sensitive nose he/she has and go easy when using aromatic substances such as essential oils.
Check your dog often for fleas and ticks by play petting and inspecting. I always have the following handy when we are conducing an inspection.
o Tweezers
o Jar filled with rubbing alcohol
o Tissues
o Cotton balls

Keep in mind that not all ticks carry a disease causing organism, and just because you had a tick bite does not mean you will get Lyme disease. Even if a tick is a carrier, its bite may not always cause the development of disease, but proper caution and care always is crucial in prevention. If you see any abnormal rashes after a tick bite, you should consult your doctor or your dog's vet immediately.
