What pet owner hasn’t worried once or twice that their beloved pet had developed fleas? Worse yet, how many have worried
that the fleas had spread to other parts of the house? Luckily, there are numerous organic flea control remedies that
can both keep fleas from infesting your home and can get rid of them once a pet has been infested.
Those with pets need to know that for every flea they find on their pet, there can be more than thirty more fleas somewhere
in that pet’s environment. Your pet can get fleas from being outdoors or can get fleas through contact with a visitor’s pet.
This is why its important to learn all about the organic flea repellent remedies available that will be both safe and
effective on your pet.
Make sure you give your pet a bath and comb your pet on a regular basis. Pets that already have fleas should be combed with
a comb that’s been dipped in a glass of soapy water. Organic repellents and deterrents include the use of citrus products.
For example, you can pour a cup of boiling water over an entire sliced lemon, including the skin. Score the skin to release
more citrus oil. Let the mixture soak and sponge it on the animal. Believe it or not, it will kill fleas immediately.
Another organic pest control remedy involves using Brewer’s yeast and garlic, or apple cider vinegar in small amounts to the
pet’s food. This will repel fleas quite nicely. Cats, however, shouldn’t consume garlic.
Topical organic remedies include cedar-based shampoo, cedar oil and sleeping mats that contain cedar chips. Fleas do not
like cedar of any kind and will be repelled from areas where you put it. Other insects are repelled by organic cedar
products as well.
In the horrible event that you find you’ve got fleas in your carpeting, you should first vacuum the entire carpet, paying
special attention to low traffic areas. Seal the vacuum bag and get it out of thereAnother organic method for getting rid
of fleas is to obtain a wide, shallow pan, like a cake pan, and fill it half-full with soapy water. Place the pan on the
floor and shine a light over the area. The fleas will jump up to the heat of the lamp and will land in the water and,
because the water is soapy, the fleas will simply drown. Do this for a few nights and it will make a big difference.
If you’re desperate for a long-lasting organic and safe method of flea control in a room, purchase a nontoxic flea trap.
Basically, you place a sticky pad under a grid on the plastic device and plug it into a regular light socket. The light
and heat from the device attracts fleas on a permanent basis from as far away as 25 feet. The fleas jump up, fall through
the grid and stick onto the sticky pad. The sticky pad is easily replaceable when it is used up.
Finally, the best organic flea control for outdoor use involves buying flea control nematodes (worms) that are 100% safe
and can be spread throughout the lawn and garden. These organic little creatures kill the flea larvae and pupae so that
the fleas don’t reach adulthood. That way, your pets won’t be bringing in fleas from your yard.
Flea control doesn’t have to be complicated nor does it have to involve the use of toxic chemicals.
Your pets don’t deserve the toxicity and neither do you.
www.TheRawInspiration.com I had the pleasure today of interviewing a very special guy from the USA. He is into weight lifting, muscle building and fitness. And all that on a raw food diet! He is also father to 3 kids and shares his experience on how they live a raw food lifestyle together as a family.
Vegetarianism and raw food enthusiasts fall into many different groups with different theories of what kind of natural foods are best. Most vegetarians eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Vegans eat no animal by-products at all, including dairy or eggs. Fruitarians eat primarily fruits. And some vegetarians eat only sprouts.
Sprouts are very nutritious because they contain all the elements a plant needs for life and growth. The endosperm of seed is the storehouse of carbohydrates, protein and oil. When the seed germinates, these become predigested amino acids and natural sugars upon which the plant embryo feeds to grow. This life force we eat is filled with energy which is capable of generating cells of the body and supplying us with new vigor and life. For this reason sprouts can retard the ageing process.
Sprouts contain goodly amounts of male and female hormones, as well, in their most easily assimilated form. Research shows that sprouts are among the highest food in vitamins. They are not only a low cost food but are also tasty and easy to grow. Children and the elderly can make sprouting a profitable hobby. All of us can profit from the boost to health they provide.
Almost any seed, grain or legume can be sprouted though some are tastier than others. You may try mung beans, alfalfa, wheat, peas, fenugreek, chickpeas, radish, fennel, celery seed, etc. These are most readily found in natural food stores. Remember to soak small seeds only for 4 hours and beans for 15 hours. You also can mix these seeds. Get a 2 liter wide-mouth jar and a piece of cheesecloth or old nylon stocking to fasten as a cover with a rubber band. Put seed into the jar as follows:
2 Tsps alfalfa, 2 Tsps radish or fenugreek, 1/4 cup lentils, 1/2 cup mung beans. Soak these seeds for 15 hours and drain the water. Afterwards rinse and drain well twice daily for about 3-5 days. If you wish to make larger amounts of sprouts, so you may share with others, place 2 cups of mixed seed into a large porcelain pot, in the bottom of which holes have been drilled for easy rinsing. Simply place underneath the faucet and rinse morning and evening with warm water. Cover with a plate. The seeds grow beautifully and abundantly in a few days.
