Tea tree oil repels them, unless they are drowned.
It also depletes the dog of the oils that keep the skin supple, so it isn't a great way to keep bugs off on a daily basis, it will dry the skin and make it peel, which will make your dog scratch more and maybe cause irritations.

Tea tree oil is good for repelling fleas and ticks, it very well may kill them too, not too sure on that, but the amount you would need to kill them would be harmful to the dog. Tea tree oil is toxic if ingested, to all living creatures.

Tea tree oil is known to be poisons to dogs. It might not kill the dog but will certainly harm it. Use frontline or Advantax, for flea control.

It will deter them, but I don't think it will kill them.
There are some reports of it being toxic to cats, however.

Yes, but not well -- don't waste your money -- get a veterinary prescription product like frontline or advantix
