Fight Fleas and Ticks Naturally

I came across this article on CNN and I thought it would be a good article to share.

"Controlling your pet's fleas and ticks naturally" offers alternative methods of tick and flea control rather than using products made of synthetic insecticides.
Here is a the quick summary of options, please read the article for more detail:

  • Use a flea comb
  • Read the label carefully and look for ingredients like "Pyrethrin"
  • Neem oil
  • Oral treatments
  • Peppermint and clove oils
