How to Make a Flea Wash

In this article you will learn how to make your own flea wash. If you need some extra help with getting rid of fleas on a dog then this flea wash might do the trick.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Fresh or dried rosemary
• Water
• Sauce pan

1. In a sauce pan bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil pour 1 cup of dried or fresh rosemary into it.
2. Cover the sauce pan and allow the water and rosemary to steep until it is cool. Once the water and rosemary has cooled down strain the ingredients.
3. Bathe your dog as you normally would, making sure to thoroughly rinse him or her off. Pour the flea wash that you made with water and rosemary onto your dog, working it in good.
4. Do not rinse your dog after applying the flea wash to him or her. Leave the flea wash on your dog, allowing it to dry on him or her. A bonus benefit from this flea wash is that if it comes out strong enough then your dog will smell like the wonderful scent of rosemary.

Tips & Warnings
