Moisturizing Insect Spray
This useful spray repels fleas, ticks & mosquitoes, as well as keeps the coat in good condition.
2 cc - Eucalyptus globulus Oil
1 cc - Citronella Oil
1 cc - Cedarwood Oil
10 drops - Peppermint Oil
1 cc - Coconut Emulsifier (available from Time Laboratories) OR
other natural emulsifier.
4 oz. Sea Dew Tangle Tamer (by Time Laboratories) OR
other moisturizing spray without artificial fragrance.
Blend the essential oils and coconut emulsifier in a glass cup. Add moisture spray. Stir well. Return to spray bottle. An injectable syringe with the needle twisted off is useful to measure the oils. If fleas or ticks are a problem, use this blend daily to mist your dog's coats. It is also very useful to place a drop of pure Eucalyptus, Cedarwood & Citronella Oil on your dog's bedding each day. Add some pure of the pure oils to your cleaner as well. When insects are not a problem, use Sea Dew Tangle Tamer without the additional essential oils to mist your dog's coat. * Added note, Time Laboratories now offers a ready product called Aromatic-Pest Away Mist.

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
