Cedarwood Oil For Fleas

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 14 reviews

Cedarwood oil for fleas is a natural option often used in home cleaning solutions. Known for its woodsy, grounding scent, this oil is commonly applied in DIY surface sprays and added to diffusers or carrier oils to create a comfortable environment indoors. 

Its gentle, earthy aroma blends well with other essential oils like lemon or lavender. Whether used on safe surfaces, in mop water, or as part of a water-based mist, cedarwood oil is a go-to choice for people seeking nature-inspired ways to freshen their home spaces.

Ready to Use Blend 

Our cedarwood oil for fleas is available in a ready-to-use blend that’s pre-diluted with a carrier oil, making it safe for immediate surface or fabric application. It’s ideal for quick treatment on carpets and upholstery—no extra mixing needed. 

Undiluted - Mix with Carrier Oil

The undiluted version of cedarwood oil is a potent option for DIY use. Due to its strength, it should always be diluted before topical or home use. 

How to Mix Cedarwood Oil for Fleas

Mix 10–15 drops of cedarwood oil with water and a splash of witch hazel in a spray bottle to apply to upholstery. For topical use, combine 1–2 drops with a tablespoon of a gentle carrier oil like coconut or jojoba before applying to your pet’s collar or fur. Always consult your vet before applying to animals.

Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity MattersEssential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances. Scroll down to see its unique downloadable third-party lab test to verify its purity.

We want our essential oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cedarwood Oil for Fleas

Do you still have questions about the best ways to use cedarwood oil for fleas? We answer some of the most common ones below.

Do Fleas Really Hate Cedarwood Oil?

Cedarwood oil is known for its strong, earthy aroma and is commonly used in natural flea prevention. While it doesn’t kill fleas, many people use it as part of a regular routine to discourage fleas from lingering in treated areas.

How to Apply Cedarwood Oil for Fleas?

To apply cedarwood oil safely, dilute it with water and a splash of witch hazel in a spray bottle. This can be lightly misted onto rugs and furniture. For pets, always check with your vet before applying.

Is Cedarwood Oil Also Toxic to Ticks?

Cedarwood oil is often used in natural formulations that target ticks, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. It’s best used in combination with other proven prevention methods.

Are There Any Side Effects of Using Cedarwood Oil for Flea Control?

When used properly, cedarwood oil is generally well tolerated. However, undiluted use may cause skin irritation in pets or humans, especially those with sensitive skin. Always test on a small area first and keep pets from licking treated surfaces.

How Often Should I Use Cedarwood Oil for Flea Prevention?

Reapply cedarwood oil treatments every 3–5 days, or as needed. Since it’s a natural option, more frequent use may be necessary compared to chemical treatments, especially during warmer months or flea-prone seasons.

Can I Spray Cedarwood Oil on Furniture and Carpets?

Yes! Diluted cedarwood oil is often used on upholstery, carpets, and other surfaces. Just be sure to do a patch test on delicate fabrics first to ensure there's no staining or discoloration.

How Long Does Cedarwood Oil Deter Fleas?

Cedarwood oil’s scent tends to fade after a few hours, especially in open-air environments. For ongoing coverage, reapply every few days or use in tandem with other natural solutions to extend the effect.
