How to Make Your Own Flea-Killing Spray

Instead of running to the store the next time your pet or home has a flea outbreak, try making your own flea-killing spray. Commercial flea-killing treatments are chock full of harmful chemicals that can cause adverse reactions in both animals and humans. A safer and more environmentally friendly alternative is to make a homemade flea spray using essential oils. This spray will kill the fleas that come into direct contact with it, and it will deter new fleas from coming near your pet or your home.
