Lavender and Catnip

Turns out that catnip is a flea repellent and so is lavender.  There are a few other herbs that also work but these two are my favorites.  For one, most cats are more than willing to rub catnip all over themselves and well, who doesn't like lavender?  It's safer for animals (not to mention the environment) and doesn't require me to spend money on items that usually don't work in the end anyways.

To check it out for yourself or to find other herbs take a look at these...
