I see that you use it as a plant around your dog area, is that the best way to do it? My friend has some and told me that it is really toxic.Thank you Someone told us to try this for the fleas but I am concerned about the effects it will have on our dogs.

I lived in Glen park and it is almost impossible to tell you where this field is. My old neighborhood surrounded it and the only way you can get to it is via a backyard gate. But it is behind the houses on Capistrano Ave and Santa Rosa Ave. Hi Gena – thanks for stopping by! I lived in Glen park and it is almost impossible to tell you where this field is.

I live in San Francisco and need a small amount for a research project and as you know it takes some time to grow and finding it already grown and ready to purchase has proved to be very difficult.

There are a number of places to buy seeds and essential oils online. I think CA has some shipping restrictions for the oil but I don't think that exists for NJ. Hi Patrice, thanks for stopping by!

Anyone familiar with where to find it in the Magnolia, New Jersey area (close to Voorhees). Thank you. I have been trying to find out where to purchase the oil to make a flea collar for my pets.

Personally, I don't use the essence of oil because it can be toxic. I much prefer to plant the actual plants in the yard. It takes a lot of plants but you don't have to worry about toxicity.

One easy way to grow (and protect) them is to put seeds or cuttings under a rock. Their roots will spread underneath multiply rapidly. It may take awhile for your plants to get established but once it is in your yard fleas will move out. Yeah the essential oil can be quite strong, especially if used full strength. You might try diluting it a bit. Good luck! Hi Yasmine – I hope you get your seeds to grow successfully. One easy way to grow (and protect) them is to put seeds or cuttings under a rock.

Just put seeds in my yard yesterday. I am hoping that they will grow successfully / sufficient just like your yard! me and my dogges are from Las Vegas and we never had flea problems there though, after moved to San Francisco, I think I was the worst victim of flea bites. Also, I dont use any harsh chemicals in the house, needless to say, difinitely not in my system and my doggies, a cat and cute bunnies. I have no choice to clean my house daily and hose up hot water in my yard to get rid of fleas, lavaes and eggs... In the mean time, I feel bad to kill them. Then I learned how to repell them!! It is just a wonderful idea not to kill, but repell them. Guilty free! I cant wait my pennyroyal grow so green in my yard. By the way, I found pennyroyal mint essensial oil at the health shop, though, I accidentaly touched it and I had a very bad reaction on my skin all over where I touched it. ( I put drops all over on my bed spread and then laid down there, watching movies... ) Thank you for the great information. Hello Slim
