Jasper is allergic to most chemical flea treatments. He seems ok with the johnsons flea tablets but they are a cure not a prevention. Does any one have any suggestions for natural alternatives to discourage fleas? My vet told me garlic and tea tree but someone on here has told me tea tree is toxic to cats!! I need some kind of preventative measure as Jasper is an avid mouser and often brings back the most disgusting parasite ridden things.

If your vet told you garlic and tea tree I would be looking for another vet!
Garlic can also be toxic to some cats.

I don't know what brands you have available in the UK. Have you tried Advantage? It's the mildest one. I've also heard that food-grade Diatomaceous Earth will work. You can order it online.
