- Do you have fleas at home? Don't panic, you can get rid of them! We also had fleas in our homes and want to share some great tips that worked for us.
Video Notes:
Coconut oil as a natural repellant for your pet: greenderella.com/home-living/...
Neem Spray Recipe: neemyou.com/neem-oil-fleas/ - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
I just wanted to let y’all know that I didn’t have to spend hundreds of 💰💰💰💰💰to get rid of our fleas I followed their instructions and they work!! I got my organic neem oil online mixed about 1 oz. With water in a spray bottle
I sprayed everything the floor and other things a couple times set up my soapy water traps and vacuumed
It was a pain but I didn’t have to call an exterminator!!
THANK YOU ALL FIR POSTING THIS!! 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for making this video! I discovered my kittens had fleas so I unfortunately panicked and clean my whole house! Wish I had seen this video beforehand. I love how you both gave such great tips and kept it pleasant. I felt that I would've been much calmer if I had seen this beforehand. All the other videos made it sound like if I don't handle it now, my kittens and I will die 😭
Rosemary water seems to help keep the area free of fleas also on the dogs furs and in his food heat up roesmary sprigs strain out and put in spray bottle spray around room and on dogs fur several times a day rosemary grows everywhere around here so it's a free remedy
You need to use food grade diatomaceous earth. Bath the pet with blue Dawn dishwashing soap, let sit for ten or fifteen minutes, rinse, then wash with baby shampoo to put oil back into skin.
Dawn detergent is good to put in bowl with little water n light over it n will attract fleas n kill them. It kills wasp also so I would not use on pets for washing.
Two things to mention regarding hoovering and clothing. 1. If you're hoover is the bag-less drag along type where every attachment from the floor head, brush, pet brush and crevice tool attaches to the long flexible hose, then when you've finished vacuuming place some sellotape over the end of the hose (or attach the crevice tool and place some sellotape over that) so if some bugs have got caught in some hair ball inside the hose (it happens), then they can't escape when you put it away. If you have to put your hoover away with the hose detached, then sellotape up both ends of the hose and sellotape the opening where the hose goes into the hoover. And for those hoovers hoses that have the 'hole' you can slide open and closed to adjust the vacuum sucking pressure, remember to close that before you put it away. 2. The hot cycle of a tumble dryer will exceed the temperature that fleas or eggs or lave can tolerate, just be aware that some clothes can't handle such a hot tumble dry cycle. If you wash/dry your clothes and you can be sure they are flea/egg free, place as much as you can in vacuum seal bags and suck all the air out either with a hand pump or a vacuum cleaner with a hose. If you take your clothes to the laundrette, place them straight into the vacuum seal bags at the laundrette before you take them to your car. You will do best to limit the clothes you wear until the infestation is resolved as this will save you doing lots of laundry, but it is well worth it as the fleas cannot survive without air/oxygen, and if you wash/dry the clothes then there shouldn't be any eggs either.
I brought my 7 week oil kitten home 3 days ago and he had fleas. We bathed him in kitten shampoo but that didn't kill all of them so I had to pick off the rest by hand. Treated him with Broadline spot on for kittens, and noticed a dead flea on him the next day. Felt relieved but then found another live one on him the following day!! So put coconut oil on him yesterday and today found another dead one on him. I am hoping this can repel any lingerers. I am terrified of the eggs being all over the apartment though. Have been vaccuming and bleaching the floors, and now washing all the bedding, cushions and blankets as best as I can. I had a bad infestation in my mum's when I was a teenager and I'm scared of it getting that bad again. Thanks for the tips, I hope this will work, we only have one rug and not much furniture so I hope I have prevented an infestation before it happens.
Instant fan! The piano keys are a great touch too
Great video and special effects! Enjoyed!
So awesome!! Thank you🙏🏻
When you wash everything where do you put all your dirty stuff in the meantime? You can't put it all in the washer when you're cleaning the house of fleas too and you don't want to infest a new area
Rocky u donf have to wash put closet clothes n very black plasfic bags with a tie so no escape this cuts off blood supply to fleas leave clothes inbag for a wk then ur gokd to go
This video is wonderful. Your presentation is something of a balm for me right now, soothing my compulsive worrying that I'll never survive this invasion. You're both beautiful and ever so charming and I'm relieved to know others have made it through a flea infestation with their sanity intact. The cleaning ahead will be a very steep uphill battle. I provide live-in care for my packrat elderly mother who insists laundry be limited to one small load a week, preferably less. We're on an extremely tight budget and it seems like every other thing has decided to stop working... most recently, the vacuum cleaner. Let's all wish me some magical luck, eh? Thank you, I'm going to subscribe and look for other videos you may have. P.S. Love the piano key moment... 100% appeals to my sense of humor.
Hi I know it's been a few years later but did you managed to get rid of the fleas?
@@pathways678 I don't always check notifications or see the responses to comments I've made, but I'm glad I caught yours... thanks for asking, you've taken me back to a time that was extraordinarily difficult but one I'd return to in a heartbeat. I'll explain why - this flea infestation (yes, btw, I did manage to triumph and we've been flea-free ever since) was the last memorable event to happen just before my cat of 14 years went missing. I'm not married and don't have children, so she was everything to me. She was overcome with fleas and just when things were improving and we were getting past the worst of it, she unexpectedly disappeared. I never saw her again, and to this day, my heart hurts when I think of how I was in too much of a hurry to open the door that last night she scratched at it. I had to take a plate of food to my mom and was going to return and let her in. By the time I got back, she was gone, never to return. I still don't know what happened to her, I try not to think about it. We live in a remote part of the countryside and there's a lot of wildlife. She spent 7 years roaming the area and never had an issue. There's no way I could've kept her from going outside, it brought her joy. I've been too afraid to adopt another kitty, I'd constantly worry something terrible would happen to her.
Anyway, that's the long answer to your question. We're mercifully free of fleas. And I'd like to thank you again for taking me back to a bittersweet time in my memory. Mostly sweet.☺🐈❤🩹
Who saw that flea jump in front of the camera? 😂
me ,,,4.51,,,,,it crawles across the camera,,,,level with the book ,,,,and jumps off ,,,lol,,,,
Me ;-;
I thought I was seeing thing's??? Lololol 😂
Guess I'll be looking for some different advice.
Me too.
Sisters you have no right to talk about flea control at all. 😊😊
rambo it was a cartoon flea
Some good tips. I am just as lazy as the fleas, which is why I’ve got them. I’m not so good at cleaning.
I have them again. You know a fleas life span is 3 months got really tips. I going to try the lamp and Dawn soap.
Thank you both so much!!!!!😊🌺😊🌺
3:52 a flea jumped across the camera
😳
omgggg
They're fake. Fleas don't have big white 👀 with a big white smile
So after you wash all bedding an clothes can u put it clothes n stuff right back in the house . Even if not every flea is gone?
I have been trying to get rid of fleas and ticks for 10 yrs and I didn't have a dog, but I lived in a high rise apartment. Now I find using 1 Cup of Water and 1 Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 or 2 drops of Lavender Essential Oil ( help the smell better) in spray bottle. Spray mattresses top and bottom, headboards front and back , spray cars and rugs let dry then vacuum. Inside home vacuum one or two times a day. Other things you can use on furniture is 1 cup of warm water and 2 or 3 drops of Cedarwood Essential Oil. Doctors are not helping, not telling the patients and saying nothing or call it INFLAMMATION , and it can turn into Cancer or Kidney Failure in Humans
Sorry, but what do you mean the doctors aren't helping of the part you speak of inflammation and cancer? Are you talking about flees?
What can turn into cancer or kidney failure in humans. I must have missed something in your post. Thanks
was i the only one who saw that flea in the back round or was it on my monitor screen. i had to rewind this video about 4 times before i seen it was part of the video......very funny 😂 .....by the way great advise thank you!
I liked this.. very useful and most importantly, your tips worked! Thank you 😁
Ty for the video
Mensch, so viele Meckerer!!! Ich fand‘s toll und hab viel gelacht! Werde dieses Wochenende den Flöhen den Kampf ansagen!!!! Vielen Dank für die Tips und Grüße aus Seattle!!!! 😊
Nasty fleas bites from my feet to my knees, from working on old classic car. I treated our cats first and then self. I use essential oils; tea tree, lavender, lemon Balm (Melissa) also camomile. Make my own cream as well from Shea Butter and Aloe. Swedish Bitters cream will heal all the bite marks, but takes a while. Must wash everything in hot water because warm water will not kill the flea eggs. Can use olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil as carrier oil for essential oils. I love cold baths too. Thank you!
.ml
Video very well done. One of the best I have seen! Thank you!
After the day of fumigation from pest control, apart from vacuuming, can I steam clean right after? Will that suck up the pesticide too rendering my effort useless because it is just water? How many days after can I steam clean? Thank you.
One word SHOPVAC !!!! Changed my life!! Plus it sucks up everything!!!!
Yes!!! It’s so helpful. Very powerful vacuum. I noticed a huge difference with the first vacuum.
what brand of shop vac did you buy-do I need to spend alot
What's soooo funny about fleas ?
i know right my ass is getting ate up!
@Divine Era 🤣
Thank you
Does sweeping help at all ?
I tried to click on the link for the diy neem spray and the link does not work. The spray kills them in all stages? If so do you know how fast? Also is it dog and cat safe?
Thanks for sharing. What essential oils good to add to the washing?
I've read fleas dont like lemon/clove/eucalyptus.
I would add lavender, because it smalls nicely and has a repellend effect on fleas. Good luck!
Diatomaceous earth is actually diatom skeletons...yes it's a creature, an algae creature. The skeletons get under the flea armor and cut them to death. 😁 And yes you do want food grade because dogs and cats lick themselves.
OMG fleas jumping across the camera at 3:52 left corner and 4:50 on level w red book ... quite an infestation ya got goin on over there 😹
LOL, those were both added in as a joke! The first one even has a face!
NEEM SPRAY RECIPE link does not work in the US. Very good video. Thank you.
love how they keep scratching themselves
Me and my flea friends are watching this
Using a lamp with dawn dish soap on a shallow dish also helps! Place it in certain parts of your house. The fleas will try to jump to the heating source and in return fall in the dish
Didn't work for me
@@annieelkey6691 me neither, i tried all flea products nothing works, and de will distroy the vaccume motor, so you'll need a shop vac
I've read in many articles that 1 adult female flea can actually lay 40 to 50 eggs in a day......that's why it is so difficult to get rid of these awful pests. I've nicknamed them the Vampire bug. If you do your research on the life cycle of fleas you will definitely understand my nickname for them.
Thankyou for the flee advice, i have a lovley cat . who like yourselves is flee treated and as we know you cannot be to careful.
They killed my Cat, who I loved, and had for almost 9 years...no joke! I tried every thing...
What do you do with the diatamaous earth?
Cute
I've never done has much housework LOL. I do have some neem powder in stock. Today I spread salt and baking powder, next will be the neem powder. They don't like citrus either. So I have been rubbing my pet's fur with coconut oil, oranges and lemons liquidised, also put some orange and lemon aromatherapy oils on him sparingly. They don't like Cedar oil or Thyme, so two great oils for the dog's neck with some neem oil and coconut oil. I tried the water in a container last night, it did catch some pests. Will try more and bigger water tonight. I'm just concerned my dog will tip it over, has he loves water.
Also try putting borax down on your floors and leave it on there all day or for a day or two then vacuum it up. Make sure you get it in cracks and on baseboards anywhere you think fleas and eggs are hiding. If you have pets though keep them away from the borax till it’s vacuumed all up.
@@maimou I haven't put the neem powder down yet, although I have bought DE and used that. We appear to be beating it and breaking the cycle. Still putting down hot bowls during the day and night with soapy water. Still catching some in the bedroom, but the other rooms appear to be clear.
Did anyone see the jumping flea ????
kimberly arellano straight across the camera on the lens
@@soufsideratchet2762 at 3:52. some bug expert! :-) LOL
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed 🤣
Michael Hill I think it was a fake flea.
Lmao its a fake animated flea
i took my cat to my friends house, then few days later both of my cats were full of fleas so i quickly bath them both and now i want to make sure i dont have a single flea in my house aha !
Anyone else see the giant flea at 4:48 !!!!!!???? its on the red book, watch it a few times... its ver quick LOL. Nice easter egg!
Put soapy water in the bottom of your vaccium cleaner and they will drawn immediately. It must be a type that can suck water.
Do i have to vaccum everyday?
What about ticks?? A video on that pls
Kann man auch Flöhe haben wenn man keine Bisse hat? Bin echt nicht sicher was genau es ist. Dachte ich hab das vom Campen.
I did
lol the piano...
Hallo, war der Floh (3:51), der rein- und raushüpft ein Original 😨?
i take care of 7 outside feral cats. i have 4 used to be ferals inside my house that go in and out. i havent had fleas until a few weeks ago after years of caring for ferals. now they are everywhere!! its really disturbing.
What can you use on furniture?
Baking powder? Leave it on for a few hours then vacuum. Or try the neem spray.
Actually, using Dawn dish soap in your plate or shallow bowl with some water & a lamp shining down inside the plate/shallow bowl will attract the fleas. Sit it up aways from the pets & leave overnight. The next morning you'll be shocked & grossed out, lol.
And you need to use Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade powder. It has to be the Food Grade one.
I use Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade powder, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil & fresh garlic.
do you need to put the powder all over the floor? cuz that'll get pretty messy
Ok with the coconut oil do you just rub it on your hands then wipe your hands all over the outer part of the cats fur or do you really have to get it all in everywhere? My cat has very thick fur that causes bad hairballs and he does not like bathing. I just got him a week ago but the old owner said she didn't know he had fleas that he must have got them just before she brought him to me.
Regardless he loves to sit with me mostly on my shoulder and tonight I got a bite, it swelled about 1/4 inch around about the size of the tip of my index finger I think it was from them ?? Then I felt something moving in my hair :/ So I freaked out and tossed my hair around with my fingers, I found the flea on my blanket and I put it in dawn water it died right away.. my cat has a flea collar on but it must not be working I still see him occasionally scratching at the area of the collar.
3:50 something jumps!!! ....maybe a flea? Tick? Or something else...
Flees can be a problem but if you got demoncrats in your house get them out immediately. In JESUS NAME
Cedarwood oil also
Try more like 50 eggs per day.
OMG me and my cleaner were itching today with the thoughts of fleas, put lemon oil all over my carpet
Y’all are so cute & funny. I had fleas years ago & got rid of them by using borax powder in the carpet. I am also using the traps u talk about, & vinegar spray. I hope to get this taken care of soon.
I've been spraying with apple cidar vinegar too. How you getting on Rosie?
How did it work out for you?
where to find neem
This seems interesting, but I would advice to use a flea treatment such as Nexgard spectra or bravecto
I'll nevr adopt cats again. Ive suffered for almost 5 yrs! on and off because of the fleas they transmit and resultingly infested the yard/house/car. I've lost 100's of hours of sleep! thousands in $, and a lot of time. Had to seek medical treatment for severe flea allergy dermatitis. Ive tried everything recommended in this vid cept flea bait but I havent started steam cleaning yet. I like neem oil and sprayed in house and the yard but my infestations are so severe its not strong enough. I had to get pest control to spray costly poison which makes me worry. I also spray my boots +shoes now. Fleas are still biting me ;( Ive lost too much weight working 9-12 hours a daynite! on de-fleaing. Whats caused less bites is vacuuming a lot regularly and constant laundering. Makes utility bills higher. All this hell when I dont even have an indoor cat.
Have u tried DE? I dont have cats and I get this fleas arround my house. Tried vacuuming, fleas trap and fleas poison but still find fleas in my house. I’m trying using DE arround my house. Dont know whether it will help or not yet.
@@nungkiputikesari969 did you have any luck with the DE?
did it help?
@@nungkiputikesari969
Your neem link didn't work. Thank you, though!
With the winter coming on now, I await the ultimate flea killer "bomb"
I've used often. As temperatures drop below freezing, I will open the
windows and use fans to move the cold air through my home. One or more
in the windows, pushing the air in and, at the other end of my
apartment, fans in windows sucking the air out. [No fans, just open all
the windows overnight.] I prefer temperatures around 20 degrees, but 30
doesn't hurt! With the former, though, you will need to trickle the
water in all your sinks and tub, because the pipes may freeze up
otherwise. The goal, of course, is to get the house down below freezing.
I'll sleep in a room that is warm, but will switch rooms and freeze
that room out later. This ALWAYS works, when virtually nothing else
does, -chemical spray cans and "bombs", constant vacuuming and mopping,
etc. And it really ain't that hard to do! As far as cost, well, -heating
up your home from freezing DOES cost money... Getting up in the morning
to a frozen house is a rude awakening, but i like the results! While 30
degrees [outside] may not finish them completely, it'll make quite a
dent... But a 20 degree outside temperature, that's nuclear!
Another slightly scary method i use is putting bleach on my calfs
[legs]. You could probably put it on full strength without harming
yourself, but i usually cut it 50/50 with water, or more. 10 to 1
probably won't cut it, as you have to have SOME strength. When house
cleaning, we often get bleach on our hands, and while it is not
something i think is good for me, this is WAR. Fleas burrow into your
flesh and lay their eggs there. If you don't kill the larvae in your own
skin, you are literally "shedding" little fleas as you walk around your
own home! I have heard it claimed that hydrogen peroxide can be used to
wash down your skin and "burn off" fleas. [Btw, peroxide in your ears
helps (some) people with "colds", -esp. upper respiratory viruses!]
Maybe peroxide is healthier, but I don't know that it really works.
Bleach WORKS. Try it two parts water, one part bleach, or 3 to 1 (1/4)
may even do it.
We have a cat. The first line of flea defense is to take care of
her! [Temperature is still too warm outside now!] Kitty gets a good
combing every night! She's a flea MAGNET! I use a lice comb my daughter
needs once in a while. It's perfect. [A lady on you tube showed me this,
by the way, God bless her!] Take a pot of boiling water to the tub and
set it on a milk crate [etc.] in there. As you comb the cat, you'll get a
flea in the comb, and instantly you dip the comb [with flea on it] in
the hot water. Often you'll get two or three in a swipe. If you don't
move fast, they'll hop off the comb. But they usually seem "stunned" to
be pulled from their "fur world", so you'll have a (long) moment before
they can react... If they do jump, they may fall in the tub, where you
can have a few cups of warm water handy to dump into the tub to try to
wash them down the drain. A dozen fleas on kitty last night, only six
tonight... Gotta keep at it! Good luck to you in your struggle!
And for y'all down south, well, two outta three ain't bad...
I have a question. After the day of fumigation from pest control, apart from vacuuming, can I steam clean right after? Will that suck up the pesticide too rendering my effort useless because it is just water? How many days after can I steam clean? Thank you.
Sounds like you still have fleas at your home as your friend is still itchy.
Me and my fleas watching together, but they get bored so switch to 1x50 speed to keep them on board
YES,FLEAS DO JUMP TWO FEET AND A PERSON HAS HAVE PATIENCE TO LET THE INGRIDENTS WORK NATURALLY.THANK YOU. YES,THE FLEAS COME FROM THE OUTSIDE/SO CUT YOUR GRASS,PEOPLE. THANK YOU.MIDD HELEN
I didn’t know they come from grass I thought it came from my previous tenant who had a stupid pet
Would you ladies like to get mine out lol
Half these tips you can't do...if your alone, and don't have the energy, money, or have to much stuff, you can't do these things....!
BIlly Ray salt?, Or a plate with water and flashlight?
Mix baking soda and salt to sprinkle on carpets and rugs, leave there for a couple of days, then vacuum. I do this weekly.
Your nerm spray receipe does not show ot just shows buy products
Lol...piano...
Not everyone has carpet
You two talk so much can you remake a video and just straight to the point
There was a couple fleas jump on the lense of the camera 👀
So I guess what they're doing isn't working.
3:52😧😦😯
Fleas can jump. I set shoes up high and I have in all socks.
Help me please
Was that a fake flea jump across the camera???
No I dont
My dogs saffer with fleas
I have laminate flooring that can not get wet. How do I clean them?
Google it and find out
use a damp cloth rather than a mop and the floor won't get ruined
Its funny seeing you guys laughing when Im here going out of my mind. I do NOT have any pets yet my apartment has fleas. I do have neighbors with pets. My landlord has had an exterminator 3/4 and he has sprayed as well as I have used DE Powder and left it on the floors 17 days.. I also have bought flea bombs and fogged every room in my house every week for about a month and almost Poisoned myself with a coughing fit and the foggers made everything sticky (Raid foggers and Advantage foggers for fleas) Once none of that worked I bought RGR grow inhibitors spray ($25usd for a 16oz can) I bought 15 cans and spray everything including furniture walls and floors. I still see fleas jumping and biting me especially my ankles and hands nonstop. I have tried everything so I had my apartment painted and had all my Rugs torn out and I still have jumping fleas and I have and continue to wash floors with lemon and clothes especially bedding regularly. I have also bought a flea collar and placed it in my vacuum but NOTHING IS WORKING so Im sorry that seeing you laugh makes me very upset here because I have bite marks and I have thrown out hundreds in furniture and clothes and shoes and I don’t have any pets or a yard or grass outside I have concrete I live in Nyc. Exterminator confirmed they are fleas as others in the building have cats and dogs. At this point I don’t know what options are left for me I have cleaned everything and used peppermint and lemon which I was told fleas hate the situation has gotten a little better but not by much and I feel like I can’t invite friends over because they may be bit or worse carry one home and I don’t want anyone else suffering like I have.
Hot shot foggers /ortho flea spray / salt on floors keep everything clean sofas /blankets/wear thick socks long sleeves exterminator twice a month
I’m so
Sorry. Hope things are better. Sounds terrible.
Sprinkle borax on your floors everywhere you think there might be eggs or infestation. Put it over your rugs, hardwood floors even tile. Make sure you get it into the cracks and in corners and baseboards. You can also put some on your mattress and furniture like sofas and upholstered chairs. Sprinkle it and leave it on your floors for a day or two then vacuum everything up and vacuum everywhere. Repeat process a few times but continue to vacuum your house regularly for a few weeks even if you think it’s gotten better. Borax isn’t toxic per se but try not to breathe it in when putting it down. Also, make sure you wash everything you think fleas may have attached themselves too. To avoid getting bitten use virgin coconut oil on your legs and arms. Coconut oil kills and repels fleas. But main thing is to vacuum your house a lot and make sure you empty the contents outside and into a plastic bag, tie it up and throw it away. You can do this it just takes diligence and some work. Good luck.
I am currently going through the same thing and u wanna know what’s driving me more crazy and making me more sad …. The fact that I have a newborn baby I need to move I have neighbors with pets that they let roam freely outside all the time so the fleas will continue as long as u live next door to them and they have pegs the flew cycle won’t stop u til u move alone into a better environment
3:51 😮🪳
I am seeing fleas jumping come on !
Fleas just want to bite me on the ankles wtf
My fucking cat brought home fleas a week after I brought home my second new born son. I feel like setting the house on fire! Among everything we have to do and the lack of sleep, now this! I'll try your advices, hopefully it'll work out :(
SAME !! I bring home my newborn son and there are fleas in my home from my cat and I brought him so much nice new things and I feel like I she’s to throw all of it away 😢
Hope you survived the flea war ok. I can't imagine dealing with fleas and having a new born. In case you ever need it again: Salt & baking soda leave it at least a few hours, up to a few days, then vacuum like crazy - every day if you can, at least every few days.
A drop of soap with water.
3.53 flea
There was a flea jumping across the book behind you ate 4:52. Be careful...
ok but yall definitely still have fleas
Why
Nothing works
I know that feeling....I just seen a vid on using a steam cleaner on furniture and floor...
Good tips,too much fooling around.
Love their attitude, I'd be very upset lol
Y’all laugh too much
Who's de fleeing them 🤣🤣
Why all the laughing?
They talk to much
Diatomacious earth is like sand or broken up shells
Fleas? Call 📞Orkin immediately
Stop ✋ all these nonsense remedies
Many of us cannot afford Orkin....Disability doesnt allow for things like that. can barely buy food and keep the lights on..
