How To Kill Fleas In Home
Fleas are nasty, sneaky insects that love to hide in the nooks and crannies of our homes.
You may not see them, but fleas are everywhere. They like to hide in the nooks and crannies of our homes, waiting for unsuspecting hosts to come by. That’s right: fleas can live in your carpet, furniture, bed and even on your pets!
How do you know if you have fleas in your home? If a pet is being bitten by fleas or you see them on your pet, that’s pretty good evidence. Even if you don’t see fleas on your pet, however, it is possible for them to be infesting your home! A simple test for fleas is to use a lint roller on your carpet or upholstery. If you find tiny black specks stuck to the roller after running it over the fabric, then you likely have fleas!
- Check your pets.
- Check the pet’s bedding, furniture, and other areas where pets sleep or play.
- Vacuum carpeting and upholstery thoroughly; empty the bag after each use to prevent fleas from escaping into your home.
If you do find out there are fleas living in your home, take action immediately to get rid of them.
- Wash all bedding and clothing in hot water.
- Clean up any pet bedding, dog beds, etc.
- Wash dog bedding and dog toys
- Clean up any areas where pets sleep (carpets, rugs)
- Clean up any areas where pets play (carpets again)
- Clean up any areas where pets eat
When getting rid of fleas, it’s important not only to focus on getting rid of the adults but also to break their life cycle so that more fleas don’t hatch later on. The first step is to vacuum every single day until no more little black specks are left behind. Keep up with this routine for at least 2 or 3 weeks to make sure all the eggs are gone too!

It’s also a good idea to vacuum all along your baseboards and furniture as well as under couches and beds—wherever there may be a chance for an egg or larvae to crawl unnoticed.
