How do I make a home made flea powder. Well I'm not so sure how to make a home made flea
powder but I sure know how to make some home made flea repellent. A couple of different
things you can do, the first easy one to do is take some lemons, cut them up, preferably
about six or eight or so. And you are going to boil them in some hot water just like you
would like a tea. And let it sit for a couple of hours. Obviously you want to let this cool
down, this is still kind of hot. Cause we are doing this as a demonstration. But you
are going to put it into a spray bottle. And then you are going to take the spray bottle
and you can spray your animal with it. Now the fleas do not like a certain part of the
lemon, a certain chemical part of the lemon juice that repels fleas. You want to make
sure you are careful not to spray around the eyes or face of the animal because this is
lemon juice, essentially, lemon tea. And we don't want to get it in their eyes because
it will be quite painful and sting. So that's one option. Another option is you can take
a floral scented shampoo much like this one, something with a very strong flowery scent
to it. Take that dilute it in water and then you are going to use that in the same kind
of way, you are going to spray it lightly in a spray bottle onto the animal's fur again,
you don't want to to get it in the eyes or in the face, and then you let it dry, don't
wash this off. But you want to dilute it a lot. I mean we are talking very, very little
shampoo to water, really just trying to get that floral scent on the animal and that's
going to help repel the fleas as well. But again neither of these are going to work nearly
as well as the commercial flea repellent and I highly recommend using a commercial one
before you do the homemade stuff.
