SIMPERICA TRIO
@@feliciawhite674 I know it’s rare, but that stuff killed one of my German Shepherds.
I'm sorry for ur loss but its impossible to directly link deaths to things like prevention. And hopefully i filed with SIMPERICA and they helped you out cuz they will take care of you. Ive been working in the veterinary industry for many years and the claims jst arnt backed up for any deaths being linked to SIMPERICA its the safest prevention out there and maybe a link was found to it and im so so sorry for ur loss but underlying conditions are a risk for everything and the risk of heartwork or flea and tick related diseases r eay heavier than a 1 in a million Chance. Again sorry for ur loss but any death and claim of death related to simp is jst not backed up by any science
I have done this before it works great❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@papajoeknows8355 use dandruff shampoo and leave on 10 minutes and then rinse
We tried that years ago and it only killed about half the fleas. The best, 100% guaranteed way to get rid of ALL your fleas is to sprinkle table salt on your carpet and place bowls of water in each room, the salt dehydrates the fleas, they jump into the water a end up drowning. The salt breaks down into a fine powder without ruining your carpet and all you have to do is vacuum it up when you’re done. We had an infestation that was so bad the exterminator wanted thousands to to take care of and we did it for less then $10.
Do the cats not lick at the salt?
Food grade DE works too maybe even better.
For how long we have to place the bowls
Do we also have to sprinkle salt in water bowls
How long did it take until they where all gone?

I did something similar years ago. My place was infested with fleas. At night, I put a big glop of maple syrup into a paper plate. Then I put it in the middle of the living room on the carpet. I turned off all of the lights & shined a flashlight onto the plate. They all jumped into the syrup & got stuck. It literally got rid of them all. I didn't see any more after that. :)
Does it work with honey as well?

God damn fleas. Damn them straight to hell. Every time I scratch I just get madder, my anger grows deeper. They will pay.
I sprayed for them a few days ago and it seems my problem is mostly gone. Gonna have to spray again in a few days though just to completely wipe them out. When I was coming through with my can of Raid they must've thought I was the Almighty Himself. I felt like a machine gunner in Vietnam.
Yeah. Here I am battling them AGAIN after I got them under control. I don’t even have pets but we had company who has a dog who had fleas! Found that out AFTER the fact. Now I’m struggling and I’m so itchy and frustrated.
if ur dog is the reason u have fleas give it comfortis all the fleas will die in an hour

Sir, you my man need an award. I took this idea and applied it to my cat. I gave my kitten the I just got 2 hours before a Dawn bath, of course being careful of the face. Easily 75 dead fleas by the end of the bath. 3 days later I'm still not seeing any fleas on him. You are a true hero.

@@kman2783 I thought the same thing
@@kman2783i've watched several videos of rescue shelters bathing their new rescue cats with dawn soap to remove their fleas
I can't believe how many thumbs down there are! Fleas and exterminators join in on the negative action. SMH.. I LOVE this video! I'm definitely gonna give this a try! Thank you bud!
Maybe jealous vets? who knows...
Fleas like warm, the detergent breaks down the surface tension of the water, fleas are so light they can jump off of clean water, with much less surface tension they drown, excellent trick.
I think theres something in Dawn that actually kills them. Ive washed my dog with it when $12 a bottle pet shampoo didnt do anything and the Dawn kills them in a couple of minutes.
@@akbuilder7626 I'm from UK, what is Dawn? Is it liquid for washing dishes? We have Fairy liquid which might be the same, I'm guessing
@@fifimacaffee6794 I'm in the UK I used fairy and it worked
@@akbuilder7626 The Dawn clogs up their spiracles. Snorting a whole bottle of Dawn would do clog your lungs and suffocate you. Think sinus infection that grows worse by the second.
@@akbuilder7626 the Dawn, I believe, is supposed to suffocate them.
You don't need Dawn, any dish soap/detergent will work. The detergent works in 2 ways. The first way is it breaks down the surface tension on the water. Fleas can be light enough to float on top of water, but the detergent makes the water wetter in essence and thus the fleas fall right into the water rather than being able to float and be dry. Now they can't breathe.
The second thing the detergent does is break down the waxy coating fleas (and other arthropods) have on their bodies. Insects and arachnids don't breathe through their face like most animals do. They have tiny holes in their abdomens called Spiracles. Their abdomens move in and out to exchange air much like our lungs expend and contact to do the same thing. With arthropods the waxy coating is supposed to protect the body from too much water absorbing through their exoskeleton and spiracles. The detergent breaks down that wax letting water seep into their body and spiracles so they drown.
I suggest you get some diatomaceous earth and finely sprinkle that stuff all over your floors, esp the carpeted ones. Diatomaceous earth is a fine gray/tan colored powder that is naturally mined from the earth. It is comprised of fossilized diatoms which were single celled creatures that lived in the oceans and still do. When fossilized their bodies are sharp, like broken glass though harmless to us. However, this dust is harmful to arthropods (insects, arachnids). When arthropods walk through the diatomaceous earth it sticks to them. As it coats their bodies it literally cuts through their exoskeletons letting air getting in where it's not supposed to and dries them out. It does the same thing to the eggs of the offending creatures.
Sprinkle this earth all over the floor using a fine sieve and close off that room for about 3 days. Keep pets out of rooms with the earth on the floor. Even though it's non toxic and natural, you don't want it in the eyes of your animals because their heads are much closer to the floors than ours are. After 3-4 days, vacuum the heck out of that room.
If you can seal the doors with tape, the fleas can't get out of that room. Try to do as many rooms as you can at once to kill as many fleas as you can at once.
I kind of miss having pets, but I do not miss flea infestations, or ticks.
SpiritBear12 wow, all very good information... thanks so much for taking the time to share!! 👍🏻
If you can't find diatomaceous earth, you can use plain old Borax. Definitely keep pets away from Borax even though it is also a product of the earth, you don't want your pets rolling in it and licking it off of their fur or getting in their eyes. Use it the same, sprinkle it all over the floors. What it does is it acts like salt and pulls moisture out of the bodies of the fleas and dries them up, same with their eggs.
You may have to do cycles of this as the fleas lay eggs, hatch, grow and do their life cycle again. It will take time to wipe them all out, so you have to be diligent! Bedding must be washed in really hot water and dried the same. The hardest thing to free of fleas is soft furniture like couches with fabric coverings. If you have vinyl or leather upholstery, it's easier to wipe out the fleas. Wash the animal's bedding in really hot water too. You have to wage an all out assault/war on them! If you slack in your attacks, they'll be back.
SpiritBear12 I’m a vet tech and dawn is the best one Because it’s the absolute safest for your pets. I would not recommend anything else than dawn.
I was waiting for the "Just kidding I made this all up, please like" at the end lol
Damn, what a great post... Thank you for taking the time to share this. Very useful and educational.
the thing works... i love this man so much thanks for existing🙏🏾
I've had used this remedy for years it absolutely works thank you
Mist the room with lemon and lavender oil mixed in water. No fleas. Five years, three cats, no fleas.
I need this 3 cats one dog and lots of fleas... Lol
Totally gonna try this..
How much of lemon & lavender to spray bottle???
Thank You😸😸😸
Really I gonna try this
LaughingblueSu lavender can be toxic for dogs. FYI
Doses are usually 10 drops of essential oil to 1 oz of water or Carrier oil but if you're using the spray bottle the kind that you get at the dollar store usually about 20 drops and the rest water.
This will not be harmful to pets if you don't directly spray it on them.
@@valmcturner where did you hear that from? I've heard only great things about lavender. I've not heard one thing about it being toxic to dogs

This really works, I went and bought 3 small desk lamps and plastic plates today and set them on the floor in my apartment, 2 in my living room and 1 in bedroom, I can see many of them taking the dive every minute now. Thanks for the fantastic idea,

I'll be trying this tonight! We have a dog who is 16½ now and we're dealing with fleas for the first time. Started him on treatment yesterday but I'm sure there are little hoppers everywhere our dog has been in our house! I've got all the needed supplies in the house even now right down to the Dawn dish soap! 👍🏻
All of the sudden I'm itchy. 🤔

I think of Newman in Seinfeld, with Jerry's flea infestation.
Wow, this really worked great! I used a battery powered led lamp over bowl of water with dawn, turned off the ceiling light and within fifteen minutes had about ten of the little bitters. Have just been moving it from room to room, cats have not bothered it. No mess. And the fleas are almost gone. Thank you so much for posting this method.
Lady of Summers Hill glad to hear it... keep in mind that there are also unhatched eggs, so you need to go through a cycle. We put traps strategically around the house and kept them going night & day until we were no longer catching any. Happy to say we are flea free and hope you will be soon too! ✊🏻
where did you find the battery powered lamp? Please
@@jazziecat2354 I just looked on Amazon. But any hardware store should have them. I believe they are referring to rechargeable LED lamps.
Geez...order Bravecto from Joe's Pet Meds for your cats and your flea problem is gone.
Jane Cat3 after they taste the soap they will leave it. They are a lil more conscious than my poor potty
I tried this idea and really works, I did it for about one month and catched about 500 fleas from the place I'm renting!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Carpet was the first thing I got rid off after aquiring pets. Hard flooring much easier to clean and keep sanitary.
What I have been using is a large flat metal pan that you can get at a feed store or farm supply that is used for feeding livestock or chickens. It is about 18" in diameter and 3 inches deep. I put about an inch of water mixed with some dish soap, and a candle in the middle. Set it in the middle of the room at night. The candle attracts the fleas, they jump at the candle, land in he water and sink. Works 100%.
I would just be real careful of the candle, if it was to fall over, it could burn your house down, and I would hate for that to happen. I'm sure you've taken precautions, but with an open flame there isn't enough precautions. Take it from an ex firefighter
@@ptxlvr7150 If it fell over it would fall into the water and be extinguished. I use a pan that is about 18" in diameter and a candle that is in a glass jar that can burn for days. As soon as one of the F'rs hits the water they sink like a rock to the bottom. It is so satisfying to watch them run around in a circle as they drown.
@@acdii Ok, if your sure, then I'm satisfied. but like I said, I've seen too many houses burn down because the residents weren't careful enough, I'm not trying to get in your business, just make sure you don't die in a house fire.
@@ptxlvr7150 if the candle fell over it would fall into the bowl of water
Maui Randall 10 inch candle in center of 18 inch diameter pan and the flame could hit the carpet. Candles are just flat dangerous. Cat could run by and knock it over and it doesnt fall like a tree but is projected. Flames get away from many people who lost loved ones saying “it was just a candle”.
I have done this, but a bit differently. Instead of using a plate, I used a large bowl. And instead of using a lamp to make heat, I just used hot water. I used any kind of dish soap. I had great results. I trapped even more fleas than in this video, and in a shorter amount of time. I change out the water three times a day. It works very well.
Thanks will definitely try this out
I wonder if combining the 2 methods would work even better?
Wont the water go cold
@@dirtyicontarot thats what i was thinking
Yay thanks I was thinking how tf am I getting my hands on a lamp in lockdown 😂
Thanks for posting! had it on for about 9 hours & got about 50 fleas!!👍👍I'll use it for termites come termite season here!! Update: within several days i must have got several thousand fleas!!
To prevent your pet from drinking it, you can remove the front grid of a fan and place over the plate of water. I also have a plant basket that worked well. Added benefit, it prevents the fan from accidentally being tipped over into the water dish
Are you undercover MacGuyver? :D
Great tip
Even plain old water works too but I'm going to give the dawn dish soap a try
I was bitten by fleas all night. Over 20 times Woke up at 3 am. Found your video. Laid the plate down and immediately caught two. I guess those were it. Thank you so much. I've never had a flea issue until I stayed at my boyfriends house where they have four dogs. Doing this Tomorrow at his house. Thank you again man! Freaking hero
you probably got bed bugs
@Jesus is Lord Plus, a couple of fleas can turn into thousands rather quickly.
It never is just two 🥲
@@NTF-zb9wi
Oh..
if those 20 fleas got blood they will live longer than 3 days
and those that bit you can lay eggs if they got blood from you they can lay upto 30 eggs each day.
You have to find the 30 eggs those 20 fleas that bit you laid.
they look like grains of sand.
600 grains of sand each day after they bit you
it will start all over again if you don't get the grains of sand
You can't just use the plate method you have to find the grains of sand- try vacuuming every where to get those grains of sand
You have to
or it will start all over again..
So once you did that, all the fleas were gone?
Totally worked. Faith in youtube diyhacks restored. Thankyou.
OMG YOU SAVED MY LIFE. 100% works guys....I just got a cat and she got flea when she went to the park....Now my room have fleas and I did this and as soon as I put down the plate a flea jumped into it... Amazing. Thank you so much Joe.

Hi Joe! I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for putting this video together for us! I have a pretty big house, and a 20 year old niece with a huge soft spot for homeless and unwanted cats. We currently have 9 (anyone want one?) and for the first time in 20 years, a HUGE flea problem. We started herb boxes at every window and door. After hours of research I found your video!! In two days our bowls have more fleas than water. We can't thank you enough!!!
Love from Florida - Michelle and family
Hey Michelle, I’m in Florida too, Orlando area. Sorry to hear about your flea problem, but glad to hear it’s working... we tried everything, and to be fair, everything did help. But when we started doing the traps it really started knocking them out. We kept the traps going day & night until they were gone. Another thing that seemed to help was to sprinkle baking soda on the carpets, then use s broom to sweep it in. Then repeat after every time you vacuum. The baking soda acts as a “desiccant” which dries out the eggs and fleas.

Amen. To that
It's important to use a white plate for more reflection. Mix the Dawn in a cup before pouring, it's a bit easier. You can just add a little water when it evaporates.You will have to move the plate from room to room or use more than one plate and repeat the process in two weeks as that is the cycle of reproduction. We have 7 indoor cats and it works, believe me! Be careful not to have the lamp too close to the plate, if the water gets too hot it will discourage the fleas, about 12 to 18 inches with a 40 or 60 max. watt bulb. Don't worry the cats won't touch it, they will stay clear! Good post, thanks!
Good advice thanks
Thanks I will try it today.
May i know specific kind of bulb . Led or normal bulb and what the exact color . White or transparent bulb ?
Thanks for this further information ❤. I was worried if my cat would want to drink it.
@@nhat6371 I would assume an LED wouldn't be hot enough
You don't have to use Dawn. Any soap or detergent will do as it breaks the surface tension on the water, the flea sinks and drowns. You only need a few drops of it too. The first one I set up there was a splash as I set it up! No bites since then. Simple and brilliant! I've used little battery operated floating candles and these work too.
Thank you sir! I've never dealt with them. It's been a monthly battle with these forsaken creatures. I have had a blood infection due to bacteria in my right leg from them. Definitely gonna try this!

It really does work...Found out that fleas can live 3 months without a host....so you have to keep it up for a while.
I read that adult fleas can only live a few days without a blood meal, It's the eggs that can take a long time to hatch?
Eggs can stay in a type of stasis for 154 days.

Hang in there, you’ve got this. 👍🏻✊🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 How many days do we wait for before we vacuum the baking soda up?
@@heavensangel7882 wait a couple of days, then vacuum and repeat.
Been doing this for years. Only difference is I use an aluminum pie dish and any dish soap. It works great!
i did this and it worked. Had a property where someone used the house to breed dogs the place was covered in flees. it did take me a few weeks to achieve a flee free home.
Very informative video ! Most people would prefer not to know how many fleas that their pets bring into their homes or they might be inclined to get rid of them !
Facts!!! I was thinking about buying a cat welp not anymore!
This helps a lot. I've had a burning hatred of fleas since I was a teenager, after seeing half a litter of kittens die from fatal anemia. They belonged my girlfriend's family, who didn't know what the cause was until it was too late. The last kitten that died had passed away in my arms when we were trying to find an animal service to call.
The point is, I currently have an 18 year old cat, who is generally pretty healthy, but had been acting strange lately. She's old, but her loss of energy was unusually sudden. I checked her for fleas, and there they were. After administering a dose of flea medicine and cleaning my home, they came back within the week.
I really don't want to lose my cat to these parasitic creatures, so I'd like to say thank you for the great advice. I'll be going to the store to look for some lamps
Giovanni glad to hear you’re going to do it. One thing, do NOT use LED bulbs, because they don’t put out any heat... fleas are like heat seeking missiles. We used the curly CFL bulbs and they worked great. Another thing... sprinkle salt or baking soda on the carpets, use a broom to sweep it in. After a couple of days, vacuum & repeat. The sodium in the salt / baking soda dries out the fleas and eggs.
Hello I know whe you mean. I had a sick cat and she died in my arms I was very young and will never forget it. I just love animals.
or you can put a small tea candle in the middle of the plate of water and get the satisfaction of the fleas being burnt before they drown
😂😂😂
Okay satan
Love this
That's literally what I just did
@@ashtonsmith4520 did it work as well as this vid??
It is working!!! Thank you so much for this video, you're a lifesaver🙏
I just watched another video about washing clothes & the lady said fleas cannot drown or die from the detergent. Thanks for clearing this up for me & making this video!
I've used that very idea for years and it's always worked well. All dish detergents work , not just Dawn . And I placed the container of soapy water under a night light instead of a lamp.
Any person that records "how to" vids while at the wheel on random drives, gets my attention 100% of the time...You rock.
bombay067 lol ✊🏻
Its March 2020, and I cant find any dish soap anywhere LOL
Vhmpyr oof
Dude.... you and me both ....
Go to the Dollar store they sell smaller bottles of dawn
I have ordered on Ebay
Lolol
Thank you man!! I needed this video more than anything👌🏻😂
It works!!!! Tried last summer . Flea infection started at work ( wood workshop) they do love the saw dust. Took 1or 2 of them home in my socks while commuting on my bike . I have also at home a wood workshop 😊 and 3 cats. This trap works very well. The plastic tray I used with a candle in the middle was 40x30 cm and there was like hundreds of them!!! Thanks!!!!!!
I read that 5% of the fleas are on the animal and the other 95% are in the house.
God no! Take it back
@@Iron_Thunderstorm well if you think of it, your animal IS inside the house as well, meanin 100% of the fleas ARE inside the house
@jorge hernandez Lmao, check mate
Oftin Wong dude are you fucking for real? Let’s leave you outside and say why would you leave IT outside pets deserve a warm bed too bitch
UNDERGROUND MUSIC lmaooooo
I swear fleas are the EPITOME of a crackhead. They’re the crackhead bug of all bugs & that’s on period🙅🏽♀️
You ever heard of roaches
Lol nailed it luv!
@@aj5172 thank God roaches don't feed off of you.
Kinneciya Mitchell that could be a FUCKING horror movie!!!
What a stupid bitch
Hi Papa Joe, I just read all the comments below and it is surprising how people can be so mean. I will give this a try. I just found orphaned kittens and they brought fleas into our home. Thank you for this little tip.
Omg! Tried this just 30 minutes ago and caught one already! This works!
Thanks, Joe!
You bet. 👍🏻
I had a flea infestation when I lived in California and I got rid of them by sprinkling salt on my carpet and left it for a week and the fleas ate the salt and dehydrated. I vacuumed up the salt and examined the bag and there were a million fleas of all different sizes.
Patti Hayden thanks for the comment! I’ve heard about the salt thing but haven’t tried it. Happy to say we are finally flea free, but if they come back I’ll definitely try it. ✊🏻
The fleas didnt eat the salt dipshit. They got it on them and it dehydrated them.
Great idea!
HaltomCityRecords lol true but kinda harsh
what kind of salt and how did you spread it around.?? and how much should one get for a one bed room apt?
Having tried this, yes it does work somewhat. What I found to keep the fleas away is this. Get some Diatomaceous Earth, now get a 1 gallon sprayer, mix 1 cup of the earth into the sprayer with 1 gallon of water shake well. Set the sprayer head for medium to fine spray, vacuum your carpet real good, then spray with the mixture, you need to keep it shook up, but not a whole lot. This causes a very fine application of earth across where ever you sprayed, and its a even distribution. To test take a piece of dark cardboard and make a light spray across it, wait for it to dry, you will see a fine application across it. I vacuum about once a week and for the first month I did this. Now I have no fleas at all not one. Im totally amazed. One bag of earth will last years, and everytime the cats lay down on the carpet, they get a little treatment, tho they dont know it. We had a bad case of fleas, both cats were bringing them in, we were going totally nuts, they were everywhere. Have not seen a flea in 6 months. While your spraying, spray your cat to, it wont hurt them at all, and if they lick at it, it only helps there digestion, win, win.
I believe the key to this is the sprayer, and the even distribution. If you spray wood floors along the edges you will see the dust, but it wont hurt anything. We have wood floors in the kitchen, I only sprayed once in there. Its basically a miracle. And a cheap one at that. My Girlfriend dosent bitch, and my cats dont itch. The water and the dawn and the light does work, I did that first and it helped alot, but they kept coming back. The combination of both is a winner. And no dangerous chemicals on your animals, which I believe cant be good for them. It really works try it.
Thank you so much for you time 🐾 I just saw that on veterinarians channel, he just pudered down the dog with that and go. But I like your method too with the spray bottle, sounds awesome! 👍🐾
I will try that earth staff for sure. The doctor only sad one thing about it, its need to be food grade, if the cat lick it off or something.
Thank you again 😊🐾
@@farkasmerga4300 We are still amazed, We had a very bad flea problem, Yes food grade, thanks for mentioning that. We threw away all the flea powders, soap, everything into the trash. we have 2 outside daytime cats, and for months no fleas at all. Im lucky they will land on me, but wont bite me, but my niece that lives with me, they really go after her. When Im spraying, which I do about every 2 months, the cats walk around looking at me. I go ahead and spray them while Im at it. I think the key to this is the uniform spray. It cuts up the fleas shell and then they die. We were wondering if we were going to be able to keep the cats, now no problem. We love them both and it would of been very hard to get rid of them. And we tried everything, vet was no help.
@@charlesmiller5078 🙂 It's sounds amazing!! I have all kind of flea killing product too, but I hate them all, specially the shampoo, the cats hate the bath.. 😖 And if you don't pick out the half away dead fleas, they are wake up and start running again.. 😖 Nothing really works.. I rescue animals and find them good homes, I have 13 cats now, is horror money to buy them all some expensive drops, this is why I tried to look after something better, easyer and less harmful. So glad you writed here telling about this amazing earth staff 🤗 I know, I'm the same, never get bit by one, but everybody else getting eated up by fleas.. But so happy is solved your problem too and your cats are good too 🤗🐾 Yes, I read about that, is cutting the bugs, but not harming the animals or humans, even people eating it for a better digestive system and staff.. 🙂 Yes the spray bottle needs to be spraying like little mist droplets, to get it everywhere evenly 👍
Thank you again, for telling your story and letting people know about this miracle staff 🙂🐾
Can I have one question please? 🙂 When you spray it on the kittys.. You spray it everywhere, becarefully not to get in the eyes and rub it in? Or just spray a couple on there back?
"Sorry for my engilsh.." 🥴
The cats like to follow me around when Im spraying, and like I said its only every couple of months or so, and its just to assure they dont come back, we have yet to see one flea since we started using this treatment. I kinda try not to spray the cats on the head, I just spray it at them, they dont get drenched or any thing like that, they kinda like it. fleas dont live on your pet, they jump on when they get hungry, then just back off into your carpet or house. Remember a 1 gal sprayer and 1 cup of Diatomaceous earth, that it. We were so lucky to figure this out. Our Vet just wanted to keep selling us high priced stuff to basically poison the cats. Looks like 1 10 lb bag will last us 5 years at least. The first time you spray your carpets, put alot down, then dont vacuum for at least a week, you wont see it at all. And then do it again maybe 3 weeks later, but not heavy. If the cats have fleas, go ahead and spray them good as well, you could just dust them, but spraying is alot easier. Hollar if you need any more info. We know what its like to have fleas in your house. Terrible
@@charlesmiller5078 Aww I just now see you writed back to me! Thank you so much!!! I will try it and follow you advice big time!!! 🐾
I know that.. The doctors just want money.. Only one shared this secret in youtube, but he is just pour the earth staff on the doggy, your method sounds awesome! And now I know everything what I needed, I can't wait to try it, I find it in my county and ordered it! I have and help so much animals day by day, this is just amazing and so sooo helpfull! I will share and spread this all around with animal lovers! 🐾 You are so kind and helpfull, I can't thank you enough!!! 🐾🌹
I will follow your words step by step! Thank you so much, I will 😊
Yes, this is just horrible, can't wait! Have a wonderful, flea free day, month, year...! 😊🐾🌹
Thanks! I caught my first flea under 15 minutes. I'm giving you a like.
Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
i CANNOT STAND those fleas. i’m literally so scared to go home because fleas are literally so sneaky. ever since i found out our house has fleas ive been wearing long socks and long sleeved shirts. im gonna try this
did same thing like 15 yrs ago using soap and basin. left it on the ground outside. sprayed the water with soap on the ground as well and solved flea problem
This does work really well, any dish soap works and you don’t need as much as he uses either. All the soap does is brake the surface tension of the water so the fleas sink to the bottom
I was just gonna post a question about soap, if it could b any kind...thank u for the answer!!...gonna get started with this now!!...it's been crazy this summer for fleas!!...and someone up above mentioned a spray solution for pets, so I'm gonna try that, too...
plz help me this method i m very worried
WOW! I have spent at least $75 in the past few weeks trying to get rid of my flea infestation! I don't even own a pet, it was from the previous property owner.
Thank you for sharing the video! I'm going to try this!
You bet. 👍🏻
Oh my goodness!!! I cannot thank you enough for this video!! Thank you a million times. I only layed the plate down for 30 seconds and I already have 10 dead in it!!!!!
EmanuelFamilyVlogs glad it’s working for you! We kept the traps going day and night until they were gone... you have to go through a cycle where the existing eggs hatch and then head for the traps as well. Also it helps to sprinkle salt or baking soda on the carpets and use a broom to sweep it in. Wait a few days, then vacuum and repeat. The sodium dries out the fleas and eggs. Hang in there, you’re gonna beat them! 👌🏻
Papa Joe knows thank you so much again! Will do!
White vinegar and a flea comb work also. I also sprinkle borax on my carpet. My pets roll around safely while the fleas dehydrate and expire. Lol
Careful, Loba, if you have cats, as borax is highly toxic to them.
I have to say thankyou i rescued a cat full of fleas and this worked along spreading salt all over my carpets so the eggs dehydrate work 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
REGULAR WHITE SALT? I CAN PUT ON MY HARDWOOD FLOORS TOO??? HOW LONG TO LEAVE IT DOWN???? THANK YOU
My daughter brought fleas home not knowing her clients dog had them. Well her 7 cats and one dog got them so bad and she couldn't afford to keep treating them with expensive flea medication. She found this and tried it, couldn't believe how fast it was killing the fleas.
She has lamps, and bowls of Dawn setting everywhere and now the flea issue is almost null and void.
Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. :)
You bet, glad to hear it helped. 👏🏻
It worked really good, its been almost 4 days with this project and everyday is less and less fleas in the plates. Love it thank you.. but I hired a pest control because it was too many fleas..I think the plate with soap works for occasionall fleas and my house had a plague.
You bet, glad to hear it! 👏🏻
How much did the pets control charge you ???
Flea control said I need to give them $329 dollars
Great share. Really important to use same solution and wipe down all the floor base boards in every room. Cedar chips are also great to add to pet beds. My kids were always bringing home stray pets. So glad that compassion started there and moved onto helping people with sock's, blanket's and jacket's. Love the little things that grow big hearts.
Too cute
A friendly reminder to be careful if using an incandescent lamp on carpet. If it gets knocked over, it can become a fire starter in minutes. Think of a way to brace it so that it cannot contact the floor or carpet with the light or hood.
Thank you so much for this video. Much appreciated.
I tried this method and IT WORKS....got rid of all the fleas in my restroom..they were on my shower rug..no more fleas ..omgosh I didn't think I would ever get rid of them..I still have the dish in there just in case some are lingering..but this works...Thank God I happen to watch this video saved me lots of money ..
Fwiw- l started treating our yard along with the dogs 15yrs ago and could count on one hand the low amount of fleas our dogs had since. Remarkable how much treating dogs & the yard both made, seven in the slow release form was a blessing.
Amazing video, weird how Dawn kills them so fast because I worked in a grooming parlor (bather) and it took awhile for any flea dip to kill them. Easier on skin than Dawn I guess? Great vid!
Update: Like to add you should always avoid eyes and ears when bathing animals.
Start at the neck, then quickly do their hind end and work your way to their mid section and let it soak several minutes before rinsing. Fleas will run inside every orifice as soon as water hits them so you have to be fast here.
Just remember:
1) "Never soak their head" to avoid water in ears. Water causes ear infections!
2) "Never" start washing one end and go to the opposite end". Never do that, as this chases fleas inside them that come back out later, nasty sorry but its true!
Rinse very well, dry soap makes them itch as bad as fleas did.
What did you treat your yard with. Fleas get worse every year. They are building a strong immune system 🤦♀️
Denise Wright I have to agree, in fact I spent $170 to get 3 months worth of topical frontline at petsmart for my dog & cat a few years ago & it didn't begin to get rid of the issue in theend I went to the vet & spent about $400 to have each of them treated they had to use a chewable tab that was even more expensive than the usual topical stuff I got at the vet because I'd already put frontline on them & that was one of the ingredients in the topical they normally gave me. I also sprayed the entire backyard & every baseboard doorway window in the house as well as putting off flea bombs in every room of the entire home. The vet said the fleas are mutating every year they are coming out with a new med to kill them it's insane & especially awful & expensive. It's definitely better to justthrow down at the end of summer & get the strongest chewable or topical the vet has to keep it fromever happening again, living in the city was the worst half the people don't ever give there animals the proper care they need & are just running around with animals covered in fleas & filled with worms it's extremely disheartening.
Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!!! This REALLY works, and it's non-toxic to people and pets. Kudos to you, Papa Joe! I think you really DO know.
Tumble Bug happy to say we are finally flea free and hope you will be soon too! ✊🏻
Thank you so much I really needed this
Thx for this...now i don't have to fog up my house every month
Thank you, the fleas are bad this year. Gotta try this.
Jenncam AMERICA FIRST they really really are
@@kiera3578 , i did try this and it worked great. They were all gone within a few days.
Yes they are extremely bad...ive never seen em this bad. Flea meds arent even working on my animals either. just too bad
Yeah this is strange you think it’s the global
Warming or is it Satan?
@@MissQOS i think they just had a good breeding year lol.
I counted. There are 937 fleas in the bowl.

Just found out today that Tic Tac have fleas ☹️😱. Put coconut oil on him and see what happens tomorrow. As I search for more I found this video and would be a really big help to get rid more of those monsters! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏
I literally just set up 3 bowls in my van which seems like overnight became infested. They are literally all over the bottom of these bowls. I’m mortified as to how this happened but I’ll continue to use this 100% full proof, and safe method, thanks to this post. Thanks again…from the bottom of my bowls.
You bet. 👍🏻
Thank you, fleas are very annoying.
ikr
people are more annoying than any bug pestilence👍
This really does work. Done this before, first night had about 30-40 fleas. 2nd night about 10. Just keep doing this, use a warm light/ night light which attracts them
Really what if I don’t have a night light ?
@@auroramothergoddess buy one at a dollar store, but make sure that if you buy one that uses LED light that it's a warm/soft white color and not a cool/daylight color. If u buy a regular incandescent bulb type you should be good
That’s amazing! I’m definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing!
Just make sure not to use an LED bulb because they don’t put out any heat… fleas are like heat seeking missiles. We used the curly CFL bulbs, and they worked great. 👍🏻
