Home Flea Remedy for your pet(s) - see below. Just remember, all of this work will be pointless if you do not get your yard treated. Call 770-895-1966 to set up a consultation to have your yard treated. We use a mix of organic material that is safe for your pet once the application is dry. You will have to make arrangements to keep your pet(s) out of the yard for a few hours after treatment. The yard treatment should last a minimum of 30 days.
Flea & Tick Remedy
8 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz warm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Mix dry ingredients first then slowly add to wet as the vinegar and baking soda will react slightly. Put into spray bottle and spray pets down. Be careful not to get in pets eyes.
* It is safe for any animal, apple cider vinegar has a shelf life of about 3-5 years so I would assume you'd be fine to store it for a long time, just keep it out of direct sunlight and it shouldn't spoil. As for application, if your pet if flea and tick free then once a week, or after every bath. If they're infested, spray every couple days until infestation is gone, then do maintenance spraying of once a week or after every bath.
Use Borax throughout the house, sprinkle it on the carpets and let sit for a few hours, then vacuum. This should kill all the fleas and ticks in your home and on your pets.
* Borax on animals: I wouldn't put borax directly on the animals, it might irritate their skin, but use on the floor is perfectly fine. I've used this combo in the past when I had dogs and cats that were indoor/outdoor. Works great! Also cedar chips in and around pet beds works to repel fleas and ticks.
You can also find a pill in the pet section of the store called Brewer's Yeast with Garlic. The garlic in the pill makes the skin stink to a flea. But if the flea does bite, the yeast will expand and kill the flea.
