If you have read our 3 must-have anti-tick & flea products, here’s a list of effective natural remedies to repel ticks & fleas in pets.

Yes, you can get rid of them naturally too!

Neem Oil

Neem oil has been used in Indian traditional medicine for centuries due to its remarkable properties.

But How Does Neem Oil Help Against Ticks & Fleas?

Neem oil contains natural compounds like azadirachtin, limonoids, and terpenes that act as powerful insecticides.

These chemicals disrupt the growth and development of ticks and fleas, interfere with their feeding habits, and affect their reproduction.

Neem oil’s multifaceted properties make it an effective and natural solution for eradicating ticks and fleas from pets.

How to Use Neem Oil Against Ticks & Fleas?

1. Dilute neem oil with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil. The ratio should be around 1 part neem oil to 10 parts carrier oil.

2. Apply the diluted mixture to your pet’s coat, paying special attention to areas where ticks and fleas are likely to hide, like the neck, underbelly, and tail.

3. Massage the oil into the fur, allowing it to reach the skin. This will help repel ticks and fleas while nourishing your pet’s skin.

4. Leave the oil on for a few hours or overnight. If your pet shows any signs of discomfort or irritation, wash it off immediately.

5. Repeat the process once a week to maintain protection.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has natural antimicrobial and suffocating properties.

When applied, it can suffocate ticks and fleas by blocking their airways and disrupting their ability to cling to the pet’s skin. This natural approach helps deter and manage these pests.

How to Use Coconut Oil Against Ticks & Fleas?

1. Ensure the coconut oil is in liquid form. If it’s solid, gently warm it up until it melts.

2. Part your pet’s fur and apply a thin layer of coconut oil directly to the skin.

3. Massage the oil into the skin and fur, ensuring even distribution.

4. Allow the coconut oil to absorb for a few hours before bathing your pet. This gives it time to repel ticks and fleas.

5. Repeat the process every 1-2 weeks for consistent protection.

Remember, these natural remedies will act as a preventative remedy. Using these once weekly will help your pets immensely.

But if your pet has a history of extreme tick & flea infestation, you should consult your vet.
