Avoid Fleas and Ticks Forever With This Natural Remedy!

Having a dog comes with some drawbacks, like fleas for example. The commercial flea treatments are abundant in different hazardous chemicals which often lead to various adverse effects.

In fact, the flea treatments and the similar products are the second most common cause of poisoning in dogs. They also have numerous adverse effects, such as seizures, skin irritations, and even death.

People who own dogs have begun searching for natural solutions to the problem of fleas. Here is a recipe that is the favorite one of the holistic vets, because it is natural and has incredible effects:

Ingredients:

• Half a cup of yarrow powder
• Half a cup of neem powder
• One cup of food grade diatomaceous earth
• Twenty drops of eucalyptus essential oil

Instructions:

Put all ingredients together to make a mixture, and then store the mixture in a container that has a shaker top.

Use:

Take the resulting powder and apply it onto the fur of your dog. This powder is being applied on a dry fur, and the fur then needs to be brushed so that the powder comes into contact with the skin. Still, you need to be careful and avoid the areas around the nose and the eyes.

If the fleas are actively infesting your dog, apply this powder every other day until you completely eliminate them. Also, apply this powder on the places where your dog spends the most of its time, for example, on its bed or on the carpet. Make sure the powder stays and acts for several hours, and then vacuum it up.

This powder can also be used as prevention. This means that you would need to apply it once a month during flea season.

This powder is highly efficient, and it is all due to the properties of the ingredients it contains.

Yarrow Powder

This is a substance with strong anti-inflammatory effects, and it is thus very useful when it comes to soothing irritations. Also, it is very beneficial for preventing further problems, as the bites of fleas can easily become infected.

Neem powder

This is a substance with long tradition in the fight against ticks, fleas, lice, and other pests. The neem powder contains azardirachtin, a compound that prevents the development of insect larvae, meaning that it stops the multiplication of new generations.

Salannin is another substance present in the content of Neem powder, and this substance has been proved to be excellent in repelling pests and even more efficient than DEET.

Diatomaceous Earth

This substance is made from the silica from the fossilized aquatic organisms. These silica grains are safe for you and your pet, but dangerous for insects. When insects come into contact with these grains, it cause dehydration of their skin and punctures them.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

This oil is highly efficient, which has been confirmed by the CDC. Experts have proven that it is very efficient and that it has the same effects as the chemical DEET. Moreover, eucalyptus oil has powerful antiseptic effects, meaning that it speeds up the healing after the bites.

Here is a video which provides additional information on natural flea treatments, meaning that it is worthy of careful watching.
