I wonder if hedgeapples would work
STella?
(from hedgeapple.com)
Can you tell me if hedgeapples are toxic to pets?
Hedgeapples are not toxic. They are similar to orange peels. Although, many cattle have died from hedgeapples because they get lodge in their throats and they suffocate. Your cat or dog will turn there nose away from hedgeapples.
Am very interested in your product specifically to repel
fleas. Is this as effective with
fleas? Also, we have cats and was wondering if this product is harmful to them? We live on a farm and are prone to flea problems during the summer months.
Please check the results from the hedgeapple.com survey. Most people have indicated success when they use hedgeapples for fleas. Mr. Hedgeapple has not had a flea problem. Started using hedgeapples 3 years ago. You can find the results from the survey at:
http://hedgeapple.com/survey/re_table.htm . The data is in raw form just as I receive it. You will have to interpret it. They will not bother your cats. They are non-toxic and your cats wouldn't touch them as well.
