Does garlic repel fleas?

Answer by  river (1226)

It does, but you have to keep feeding it to your pet every two to three days. Just mince it up and put it in their food. The fresh garlic works better than supplements. And remember you still have to get rid of the fleas in your home and yard.

Garlic is a natural flea repellent; it works best in combination with other ingredients. One problem, though, is it can be toxic to dogs and cats, depending on the dose.
