Options

• Various natural remedies help to eliminate fleas from your lawn. These remedies include diatomaceous earth, garlic, citrus fruits, cedar chips and certain types of natural oils like lavender, citronella and eucalyptus oils.
  
  

Function

• Natural oils, cedar ships, citrus fruits and garlic work to repel fleas by creating overwhelming odors that fleas cannot tolerate. Diatomaceous earth, however, works by scratching up the fleas' exo-skeletons and causing them to dehydrate and die.
  
  

Considerations

• Before you apply any of these solutions to your yard, first consider if anyone in your household has an allergy to any of these oils or natural products. You also need to ensure that these natural products will not harm your grass or any flowers in your yard.
  
  

Warning

• Diatomaceous earth may cause scratches inside the airways if inhaled excessively by pets. To prevent these reactions, keep your pets off the lawn as much as possible.
