Fleas...Yukky

[Babz]

Did you know that if you mix a little garlic in pet food it can stop fleas
from biting your pet !!

[Celyn]

But what if your pet is a vampire?

[Babz]

Well Cel in that case feed yourself the garlic....lolololol

Just slightly off topic, if you get bitten by those nasty flea things
mix some Base oil with Vetivert and rub onto your skin, the little beggars
can't stand it !!

[Celyn]

Yep. I could eat the garlic. Garlic is Good!

Incidentally, eating garlic, or those odourless garlic capsule thingies is said to be good for avoiding midgie bites.

Hiya Ladies

So these are some great tips. I don't eat garlic myself. I really don't like the taste. But I also hear that eating Garlic could help pervent Cancer, but then again, they do say that about a lot of different things.

Anyway, my Kitty doesn't go out, but I do let her sit by a open window, so I do put on the "flee & tick" meds monthly from FrontLine.

But can you tell me what "Vetivert"?

Did a search for you and came up with this...

Vetivert is a scented grass native to Southeast Asia and botanically
related to lemongrass and citronella, although it smells nothing like
them.

Reduces stress and tension


Calming
