  • Fleas are seemingly impossible to get rid of. As soon as you’ve annihilated them from one place, like, for example, your house or yard or pets, it doesn’t mean they’re gone; it only means that they already found another place to breed themselves into a widespread infestation.
    First of all, you need to remember that nothing will replace a good old cleaning. All the remedies and repellents will have a much better effect if you combine them with vacuuming, shampooing carpets, and of course, bathing your pets if you have them. But don’t rush to spread poisonous toxins all over. There are natural ways to alleviate this tiny pest! Take these cool life hacks that’ll help you immensely in your struggle against these horrible pests.

    SUMMARY:
    - A good recipe will contain vinegar - fleas hate it! The easiest one to get at any time would be apple cider vinegar. Just mix it 1 to 1 with water, and spray the areas where you’ve seen fleas.
    - Vinegar is extremely effective, but if you don’t like the smell, you may want to try something else. Lemons need to be shredded in thin slices and dropped into water with all the juice and peel. Lemon peel has another helpful effect - it has essential oils in it, which are also universally hated by fleas.
    - Just grind some dry rosemary into dust and sprinkle it around your house. It won’t do much for the existing infestation, but it’ll prevent any future ones.
    - Fleas are uncontrollably attracted to light in the dark, especially yellow light. The easiest way to use this against the fleas is to set a small light right over a big dish that’s filled with a water and dish soap mixture.
    - If letting your dog out in the yard is scary due to pesky jumpers hopping on their back, just find those shady places where your pet likes to lay a lot. If you can, fence it away from Fido, and then drop some cedar chips around the area.
    - Diatomaceous earth is the most convenient way to get rid of fleas in your yard. First - because they’ll stand out from it too much visually, and second - because it’s lethal for fleas, but almost perfectly harmless to anything else.
    - Baking soda or salt are perfect if you still don’t trust DE or other unfamiliar remedies. It won’t be as effective, and you may need to repeat the process of sprinkling it all over the place and vacuuming it up several times.
    - Pinewood sawdust will scare flees away in no time, but obviously, don’t try to use it in the house. It’s more of an outdoors thing that can help you secure your house from recontamination after you’ve cleaned it from floor to ceiling.
    - Nematodes are small and constantly hungry worms that will chomp their way through your entire yard, eating any bug smaller than them. What’s good about these worms is that they’ll leave absolutely no flea eggs or larva on the ground.
    - Sulfur or boric acid are fine powders or solutions that are cheap and easy to find in any pharmacy. They’ll be lethally toxic for fleas if you sprinkle them thinly.

    The most important thing you haven't mentioned is to vacuum 24 hours prior to doing anything because the vibrations break open flea eggs allowing the treatment to work. Second most important thing, immediately empty the vacuum canister/bag outside. Otherwise the fleas can escape. I learned this from a pest control guy.

A few drops of Neem oil with about 10 drops of essential lavender sprayed on your pet and through the house as the Neem has a yuk smell but works amazing 😉.

    For the flea larva and eggs just make sure you keep your pet away from them, they should die of starvation or at best stop laying eggs since they can only lay eggs 24 hours after feeding so if you have a flea repellent collar for your pet and also use the flea treatment with all this tips mentioned in this video it will be extremely difficult for fleas to get any chance of populating your pet and home.

Gave my dog her first of several flea baths and used a flea comb. I used baking soda mixed with sea salt on my carpet and furniture. Vacuumed my furniture and I’m vaccumimg all floors daily. I’m also using vets best home spray. Accidentally ordered the kind for cats but it’s fine to use. Smells like strong peppermint. Sprayed down everything soft. Used raid flea killer spray on the base boards. Also bought the Adams flea spray that I spray in dark area where fleas usually nest. Haven’t seen any fleas since I started but I heard they hide well. I been reading about diatomaceous earth so I’m probably gonna go ahead and order that in food grade because of my dog. I keep a clean house never thought this would happen.

    Cheristin for cats worked like a charm for me! This with constant cleaning for a month and boom, no more fleas. I kept on treating my cat for 6 months just to make sure there were really no fleas left and then I was able to stop treatment without the fleas coming back.

      @ButterflyGirlForever you should first disinfect your cats, since you have only one couch/bed and no rugs it should be very easy to get rid of these, fleas usually stay on rugs and beds, use baking soda on your couch and bed, you can also use peppermint oil, lavender oil or even tea tree oil mixed with water and spray it on your couch/bed, furniture, anywhere basically, make sure to also clean the corners of the floor, windows. Buy a steamer and steam your couch and bed and your cat trees. Another one is putting water with soap on a plate or a flat box or something and leave it there, fleas will fly into the water and later die because of the soap. If you do this everyday I’m sure they’ll be gone. Try having a three store house tho lol, this is a nightmare.

You can sprinkle it on the floor then vaccumm it up. You can also spread it around all over your yard too just like the regular DE, but the Food Grade is safe for pets. Rosemary can't be used around Pets that have Seizures.

    DE is also recommended for internal parasites. I mixed it with wet cat food last week (1/2 tsp for cats under 5 lbs, 1 tsp for everybody else). No ill effects. Best to use a mask during and wash one's hands after mixing (my advice, anyway). I worry about pets breathing it in, but if they are not sleeping on chairs I treat then vacuum? I'll definitely be using the vinegar solution on furniture and rugs though. Thanks!
