Tips for Keeping Fleas Off of Your Dog
Fleas will not cheerfully tolerate eucalyptus. Therefore, exposing them to it will help keep your pet and your household infestation-free.

TIP #1

    1. Clip a sprig from a eucalyptus tree, and be sure it has several (around six) leaves
    2. Place the sprig, or just leaves under your pet's bedding.

TIP #2

    1. Make a collar out of eucalyptus nuts by drilling through the centers and using thread to string them together. This collar will smell wonderful, look attractive, and keep the pests away.
