If you are looking for a natural solution to get rid of fleas on cats, this article is going to show you some effective methods. They are not only safe but also economical.
- Vinegar: The smell and acidity of vinegar will irritate the fleas and they will leave the cat’s body as fast as possible. It will also kill them when applied directly on their bodies or on their habitats such as carpets, flooring etcetera. However, never apply it directly on your pet’s skin because it can be harmful for him/her in large amounts and also make sure that there are no open wounds present before using vinegar because it might sting him/her badly due to its acidic nature (weakened immune system). You should avoid applying any kind of liquid with high concentration directly onto cats because they may get irritated due to excessive itching caused by these solutions which could lead them even dying if left untreated immediately after application!
- Lemon Juice: The citrus juice from lemon gives an acidic effect while killing all kinds of insects including fleas found inside houses like carpets etcetera where they breed most often at night time when people sleep peacefully unaware about these little creatures around them causing harm! Lemon juice works well as an insecticide so if you have nothing else at hand then try giving lemons instead – though do not expect any miraculous results overnight though!
