FLEA CONTROL: How to Get Rid of Fleas Naturally
They may look small and seem harmless – but fleas are a BIG problem. In fact, they are one of the most common, most frustrating problems pet owners face. If you own a dog or cat, it is almost certain at one time or another that you will have to deal with fleas.There are many commercial products available to prevent, control, and kill fleas, but the majority of these products contain unsafe, harmful ingredients. Often these ingredients are toxic to the very animals they are supposed to protect – and can even do harm to you and your family. As a result, you may wish to minimize the use of such products and instead use natural methods and substances to control and eliminate fleas.This authoritative, carefully researched eBook includes detailed information about how to fight fleas outside and inside the home, and how to prevent and control fleas on dogs and cats, using natural, safe and effective methods. Numerous natural substances and safe techniques are included. The book draws from research done by such organizations as the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Public Integrity. It includes useful checklists and links to many additional sources. Contents1. Getting to Know the Enemy 2. Basic Principles of Fighting Fleas Naturally3.

Fabulous resource
This is an excellent resource to naturally combat fleas inside and outside the home. In defining "natural" the author states: "In this book, we will use the word “naturally” to refer to methods, techniques and substances that are natural in the sense that they are not artificial."
There are many products and tools mentioned to fight flea infestation. Among these are flea combs, essential oils, particularly, cedarwood, lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary and thyme, as well as finely ground salt, boric acid, dichotomous earth.
He also lists the ingredients of major flea treatment products.
So far I've tried the salt on the carpets and sofas with great success. My next steps are to use the recommended essential oils in a spray and try the dichotomous earth for the yard.
