I am sure this has been posted about before. But, does anyone have recommendations for natural flea killer/repellant for fluffs and even cats?

Most breeders have had a lot of success using Avon's Skin So Soft Spray.

Using Dawn dish soap to rid your pet of fleas is a surprisingly effective home remedy. The oils in Dawn prevent the eggs from sticking to your pet's coat while at the same time smothering the fleas. Be sure to use Dawn dish soap. According to many groomers other brands are not as effective. The Dawn flea bath is a cheap and safe alternative to harsher washes on the market.

The natural products are mostly repellants.

AROMA PAWS: Natural Bug Repellant Shampoo, Spray and Soy Candle

Straight tea tree oil will kill a flea or tick on contact. A drop on your finger and on the flea or tick will kill it. But I don't recommend it. Tea tree inhigh concentration is toxic. It should always be diluted. I would use it for ONE tick, but not for multiples. Don't use on cats.
