natural flea repellant

Years ago I had 3 cats who were flea infested (no frontline back then).  Someone told me about using Eucalyptus oil on their fur because they would rub it on their hands and just lightly rub on their pet chihuahau's fur before going on a walk.  I had already bathed my cats in flea shampoo several times,  so I put a capful of this oil in 2 gallons of rinse water (dilute) and rubbed it into their fur (They had been bathed enough) as a rinse.  Would you believe the fleas dropped dead on contact.  My kitties still had to get dewormed but WOW that stuff is good!  You have to be careful though that you don't use it full strength, its can be poisonous.  It does smell like Vicks though, strong.
