Natural Flea Tick Remedies

Natural flea tick remedies are available commercially - check them out!

More and more dog parents are concerned about the potential harmful effects of conventional flea control products (e.g. flea collar, dips, flea bombs, etc.), not only on their dogs, but also on human family members and the environment. As a result, many dog parents opt for natural flea tick remedies that are milder and safer for all concerned.

There are herbs and essential oils that can be used to effectively repel pests such as fleas and ticks.

If you do not want to concoct your own natural flea remedies by yourself from scratch, this page recommends some effective flea tick remedies that are available at some pet stores. All the products on this page are made from natural ingredients that are safe for us, our dogs, and the environment.

Flea Tick Remedies - Sprays and Essential Oil Blend

Ark Naturals Neem Protect Spray for Cats and Dogs

The main ingredient in this spray is Neem oil which is renowned for its insect-repelling power. In fact, this oil has widely been used for ages in Asia as an insect repellent. Neem is natural and safe on pets, and may help reduce the risk of infections, itching and other skin flare-up from insect bites.

Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Spray

This spray contains several effective flea-repellent essential oils such as lemongrass, neem, and citronella. The oils are highly diluted and therefore the spray is safe for use even on cats.

Flea and Tick Wellness Oil

This is not a spray but an organic aromatherapy oil blend that contains rosemary, citronella, eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oils - fleas and ticks don't like the smell of these plants. This oil blend can be applied topically to the dog's skin to repel fleas and ticks.

Flea Tick Remedies - Flea Powder

Fleago Natural Flea Control

This powder contains a borate crystal salt which is not toxic to people and pets. The salt mechanically dissolves the outer coating that protects fleas as well as their eggs and larvae. The good thing about killing pests mechanically (as opposed to chemically) is that, the pests cannot develop immunity to the substance.

Please note that this powder is NOT to be used on our pets - only on our carpets and upholstery.

Only Natural Pet All-in-One Flea Remedy Powder for Dogs and Cats

This powder contains diatomaceous earth (DE), a mineral substance formed by the fossil remains of prehistoric algae. While non-toxic to people and pets, at the microscopic level, it is razor-sharp and is lethal to insect pests like fleas and ticks, whose shells are cut as the powder covers their bodies. Fleas, along with their eggs and larvae, become dehydrated and die within hours when exposed to this powerful substance.

Similar to the borate crystal salt as described above, DE kills pests mechanically, not chemically. Therefore, pests cannot develop immunity to the effect. It is also more environmentally-friendly because it does not release any chemicals or toxins that may harm our surroundings.

This powder can be safely applied directly in your dog's fur as well as the living environment, such as the dog's bed, carpets, furniture, and even in the yard.

Anibio Tick Clip

The Anibio Tic-Clip is a "wearable" remedy for ticks and fleas. It is hard to explain how it actually works, but basically it uses the power of the bioenergetic field around your pet to create an energy barrier that repels insect pests for two years.

My dog (who likes the outdoors) has been using it for over one year now and so far she does not get any ticks and is flea-free!
