Get good coverage, all over your back, stomach, shoulders, rump, tail, legs paying special attention to the neck and back of the head, under the chin and chest.

Fleas will migrate to higher ground if they feel that their life is threatened and that is where you will corner them by applying them to the neck and back of the head of your pets, the escape route of the fleas will be cut off and they will be trapped, desperate. to escape.

Just make sure to wash your clothes in hot water in case you bring any little runaways into the house when they try to jump off the boat.

After coating your pet in the oil, leave it on for 15 minutes, get a fine tooth comb, and comb its fur, one row at a time to remove fleas. It should get quite caught in the teeth of the comb, then rinse.

Using a good degreaser or vegetable-based soap, lather his coat to remove excess oil and prevent his pores from clogging.

Bathe them before relieving your pet’s itchiness and reducing some of the flea population that currently resides on your pet’s coat.
