You can use baking soda and orange essential oil to create a nontoxic flea killing compound, or add lemon juice and water to your pet’s shampoo to increase its effectiveness against fleas. Planting sage, basil, lemongrass and other herbs in your yard can help to keep fleas at bay. You can even apply lavender essential oil to a bandana to make an improvised flea collar.
