Lemony Scent

Try combating fleas with lemon. Fleas do not like the scent of lemon or any citrus flavored odor.  Buy some standard size lemons and cut a few into thin slices and boil them in water over a hot stove and then let the lemon mixture sit overnight.   In the morning, take some of the lemon mixture and pour it into an empty spray bottle. Spray areas of the house where fleas are suspected to hang out. Also, you can spray your pet lightly with the mixture, but not too much, as it could hurt your pet if you douse them with the lemon mixture. Be sure to gently rub the lemon mixture into your pet's fur, being careful not to overdo it.
