  You said it: with a rise in temperature comes a rise in the flea population.

Here is an all-natural flea control recipe:

1. Combine one part of as many of the following powdered herbs as possible: Eucalyptus, rosemary, fennel, yellow dock, wormwood, rue.

2. Put mixture in shaker-top jar.

3. Apply the flea powder to your dog’s fur by brushing backwards and sprinkling it into the base of the hair (especially focus on the neck, back and belly).

4. Immediately take your dog outside so the vacating fleas don’t wind up on your floor.

5. Use this natural flea control recipe as frequently as necessary, up to several times per week for more serious infestations.
