can i put a drop of tea tree oil on the back of my cats neck, and will that get rid of fleas?
i have 16 cats guys, and my advantage (wich i buy from australia) will not get here until next month(i am on ssi) and for some reason my normally flealess, indoor babies are getting covered with fleas, it has been hot here lately and i have had the windows (they have screens)open so and i live close to the ocean, and there are the outdoor kitties ifeed so i assume my furry children got the fleas that way. i have been seeing the stuff about this tea trea oil so could i do that and would it help? thanks and god bless
Hello again Julia…tea tree oil is toxic for cats. Some natural repellants are citronella, cedar, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and lavender. Essential Oils are specially formulated to repel fleas and ticks without using insecticides. They are great for misting your cat’s legs (and your own) any time that you go out where fleas would be likely to be found. Although this isn’t a fix all alternative as good as Advantage or Frontline. Plus you really need to think about worming as well because when the cats are grooming themselves they will ingest fleas and get tapeworm as a result. So you will require a large supply of flea repellents for all the cats and dewormers that all from a vet who can prescribe these. Also your home will be infested so killing the fleas on the cats will not be sufficient as the fleas from the carpeting will only reinfest them again requiring more flea repellent on the cats again. A cyclical problem.
If you live in the US there are some low income animal shelters that will help or provide references to vets who perform low income veterinary services. Consider contacting your local humane society and ask them if they can help or refer you to someone who could.
So you’ll need to attack not only the fleas, the worms, but also the home environment as well. Consider purchasing Borax to suffocate the fleas on your carpets. It’s safe to use an is quite effective at killing fleas. Be sure to place the kitties in a room away from the Borax powder until you vacuum it up so they don’t accidentally get it on their paws. Here’s a couple websites that talks about boric acid:

Abbey Road (Remastered) $9.16 The Beatles’ last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side’s writing, John Lennon’s hard-rocking, “Come Together” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” make the strongest i… |
