Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Help! We are in desperate measure here. We've had a tick outbreak for the last few months (we live in Florida). We have had " enough " with all those chemicals and don't want to subject our dog to any more (nor do we want to fumigate our house yet again). Is there an herb that we could give to our dog that would naturally repel those blasted vermin? Thanks Kristin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 I'm not sure if it works on ticks but fennel is supposed to be good for getting rid of fleas. You can use the herb in the bedding and made up as a tea for a rinse after washing your dog. Whole garlic taken internally is also good for fleas and intestinal worms.

Hi Kristin Same problem here in Australia. Around where I live on sandy coastline they are ferocious. My book suggested rubbing/soaking the animal in tea tree oil. But it didn't say how often. I suspect it would be a daily chore. I will be trying it myself for I think the risk that it doesn't work is still worth the chance. Good luck Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
