Flea's are here again!

Casey on Health - Sun, June 22 2008

Once again dad (alias the dog cookie guy) is spraying me and pack mate Bert. With his all natural flea and bug repellant. Doesn't work like frontline or other flea repellant but it helps and makes us smell good. So he says. He takes the peels of 3-4 lemons and 3-4 limes and about a quart of water bring it to a boil. Cover and let set overnight. Strain (a coffee filter works good) and put in a spray bottle. Spray on after being outside or every couple of hours so while outside. Works pretty good for gnats and flies. How it works is you are extracting the citronella oils in a mild form. Makes us smell fruity, but it's better than those old bugs.
