Natural Flea Killers
that get rid of those
nasty biting fleas !!
Why natural flea killers ?
Using natural flea products is an environmentally friendly way to get rid of fleas on your dog or pet, as they are NOT made from chemicals that can be harmful to your pet and home environment.
Many chemicals used in pesticide based flea products tend to accumulate in your pets body, which over time may bring on unforeseen health problems.
Now, there are alternate products available that are sourced from natural ingredients.
In's and Out's of using natural flea killers
Usually treating your pet with a preventative is sufficient to keep them flea free but sometimes perhaps in the warmer weather you may find more fleas in the home than you would like. If this is the case I recommend treating all your pets, inside your home and don’t forget the outside yard too.
As with most treatments what works well on some pets will not work well on others and this is the same with natural products.
Often more than one product is required to fight infestations of fleas in your home environment.

Natural ways to control fleas in your yard & outside areas
It is a good idea to have a fenced yard to keep stray animals out so fleas do not get transported into your yard. Try to keep lawns cut and your yard clean and tidy, don’t allow lawn or garden clippings to build up as fleas love damp dark places and so do your pets.
