This is a new natural flea and tick spray recipe. If you like what I’m sharing on the website, I really encourage you to get a copy of my free book. You can click the link below. Our spray recipe includes five ingredients.
1. nonalcoholic witch hazel extract.

It,s a great natural anti-inflammatory, and it’s really important for skin health, but it can soothe your dog or cat’s inflamed skin from flea bites. It’s important you’re using the non-alcoholic witch hazel extract because the alcohol can be really irritating and painful if the skin is damaged.
2. liquid coconut oil.

There’s a great study showing the very effective repellent benefits of coconut oil, and I want you to get the liquid coconut oil. If we want our spray to stay as a liquid, then you can spray it. It’s completely safe if your daughter’s cat licks it, and in fact, it may even be providing medicinal benefits.
3. Neem oil.
Neem oil
Neem oil from the neem tree in Asia has some wonderful anti-insecticidal properties. Neem oil is the most studied and proven natural insect repellent, and when neem oil is diluted to appropriate concentrations, it’s safe for both our dogs and our cats.
4. The cedarwood essential oil.

Cedarwood oil has been extensively studied and also shown to be an effective repellent against fleas and ticks, and when it’s diluted to appropriate concentrations of 2% or less, it’s also safe for our animals.
5. lavender essential oil.

Lavender has antibacterial properties; it can heal infected skin; secondarily, it has antihistamine-type qualities, so it can decrease the level of skin inflammation. Lavender is considered one of the safest essential oils for animals, especially when it’s diluted to an appropriate dose of 2% or less.

Next, Neem oil.
The awesome insecticidal, but smelly plant-based insecticide oil, the neem oil You first got to heat the neem up to turn it from a solid state into a liquid state, so I stuck it in a little cup of hot water, and now it’s a liquid and ready to go. We’re putting in three males, which are three droppers full. Each dropper full is one male, and that’s going to give us a 1.7 percent dilution.
Number four is a very effective insecticidal essential oil. This is cedarwood oil. We’re putting in ten drops of cedarwood oil.
Number five is a soothing and wonderfully smelling essential oil. ten drops of lavender essential oil I want you to mix it all together,

I picked this guy up in my local co-op pour that into your spray bottle and we are almost ready to naturally prevent fleas ticks and even mosquitoes shake it really well before use and then lightly mist your dog staying away from the sensitive parts their mouth their eyes we’re just gonna lightly mist your Pipster then I want you to get a flea comb like this one here cost me all of about 50 cents at the pet supply store and then you’re gonna use that to evenly spread that spray throughout your dog’s skin you can safely spray your dog three times a week for cats just once a week.
It is important that you try to keep this in a warm place and if you do see any of the liquid solidifying specifically that would be the neem oil, then you’re just gonna have to warm it up and then make sure you shake it really thoroughly before you’re reapplying it I also really like the fact that two of the main ingredients, the non-alcoholic witch hazel extract and the liquid coconut oil, are completely safe for our animals; they can lick them, and it will do them no harm. All these plant-based oils are well-diluted, making them safe for our pets. So if you want to repel fleas and ticks and you’ll want to avoid some of the side effects from conventional insecticides, you should consider this all-natural flea and tick spray.
