Step 1
Look online under "cedar products" to find a huge variety of ways to address your flea infestation or other problem. There are many kinds of products that fit into any kind of need you may have.

Look for cedar shavings in any store that carries pet supplies. You can purchase a huge block (about half the size of a bale of hay) of cedar shavings that are sold for pet bedding and pet cages. These can be used to sprinkle around your yard, stuffed into pillowcases as a pet bed, put into sachets for drawers or in areas you wish to treat, such as closets. The cost of this type of product is about $9.00, and it will cover an entire yard.
