Essential oils such as rosemary, lemon eucalyptus, and lavender are effective at repelling ticks and fleas.
A natural flea and tick repellent can be used on your pet once a week or as needed for ongoing protection. These sprays can also be applied to bedding, which makes them ideal year-round preventatives.

Luckily, there are plenty of safe alternatives to traditional pet-safe flea and tick sprays.
