We have an infestation of fleas. All three of us have been bitten by fleas.
The first question friends ask is, " Do you have a cat or a dog?"
We don't have pets, but every so often, we get bitten by fleas. When we get bitten, we get bitten so badly. It is itchy, it is pinful and gives the chills. We don't want to use chemicals or flea bombs as they are toxic.
I googled for a natural herb, and found out about Pennyroyal. I went to my local garden centre and I bought two plants .
It didn't repel the fleas, but they look and smell lovely. Pennyroyal leaves, both fresh and dried, are especially noted for repelling insects.[4] However, when treating infestations such as fleas, using the plant's essential oil should be avoided due to its toxicity to both humans and animals, even at extremely low levels.[6]

Does anyone know a herb that will repel fleas?
