A lot of people do not realize that the flea problem is a big one because these small insects are extremely challenging to spot. Identifying the source of the problem can be a daunting task as fleas live in your house, carpet, and yard. While not a fatal thing to pets, this pest is uncomfortable both to animals and humans. The tiny creatures survive in animal bedding, sofas and carpets especially if there is a layer of dirt hiding them from sunlight. So it becomes important to keep your yard clean and seek assistance from professional exterminators for pet fleas or you can try a few homemade home remedies which also work well. Today, we will learn how to get rid of fleas on a cat at home. Because these pesky creatures can be really annoying, especially if they have bitten you or your pet. Let’s talk about a couple of ways that can help you eliminate the fleas that are not only infesting your feline but also your house.

Naturally Get Rid Of Fleas On Cats

Introduction

You can use natural methods to get rid of fleas on your cat. Some methods include using baking soda, tea tree oil, and lemon. These methods are safe for both you and your cat, so you don’t have to worry about any harmful side effects.

I have always hated the idea of using chemicals to get rid of fleas on my cats.  I have never liked putting anything on their skin, so I prefer to use natural methods if at all possible.  Anyone who has ever dealt with a flea infestation can tell you that it is no fun; especially when you have more than one cat suffering from them.

In order to avoid using chemicals, it is important to decide whether or not you have an indoor/outdoor cat. If your cats spend most of their time indoors, then getting rid of fleas will be much easier for you. However, if they are outdoor animals and live in a rural area where there are many wild animals around them (such as raccoons), then the chances of having fleas on your pets increase dramatically.

The best way for me to get rid of fleas was by using natural remedies instead of commercial ones that I would have bought at the pet store. One thing that I didn’t like about those products was that they contained chemicals which could potentially harm my cat if ingested or applied directly onto his skin.

After doing some research online about natural remedies that can help kill off these pesky insects, I decided against buying any chemicals at all because it would take too long before seeing any results! Instead I decided on purchasing some essential oils made specifically for killing both adult and larval stages at once (which means faster relief).

If your cat is an outdoor/indoor cat, you may have a bigger issue on your hands.  You may want to consider keeping the cat indoors if at all possible or spraying the entire property with either neem oil or cedar oil.  Both of these oils repel fleas and many insects.  The neem oil will also kill ticks and black flies and tends to smell like garlic while cedar smells like well…cedar.  Either way, they are both natural oils and therefore safe around children and pets.

Neem oil, also known as azadirachtin, is a natural oil that can be found in the seeds of the neem tree. It has been used for thousands of years in India as an insect repellent and pesticide. The neem tree itself grows very well in hot climates, but it also has some medicinal properties that can help people with certain skin conditions and internal parasites like worms or intestinal worms.

Cedar oil is another natural remedy that repels fleas, ticks and other insects by emitting a strong scent they don’t like. If you have access to cedar trees around your house then collecting some branches from them could be all you need if your cat gets fleas at all!

Now lets say you already have fleas on your pet(s); what do you do?

If you already have fleas on your pet(s), then you need to take action immediately in order to get rid of them. The following are the most common ways that people deal with fleas on their cat before they become an infestation, and I’ll tell you what ones work best.

• Flea Comb: A fine-toothed comb will help remove any eggs or larvae from your cat’s fur. This can then be placed in a glass jar filled with alcohol to kill off any remaining flea eggs and larvae, preventing them from breeding more parasites later on!
• Wash Litter Boxes & Bedding: If your cat likes sleeping in the same spot every night (like mine does!), then this is probably where all those pesky little things have been hiding out since day one! It’s important not only because it helps keep pets healthy but also because it prevents re-infestation by killing off any remaining insects when washed away down into drains where they’re unable

While there are many products on the market, most claim to be natural yet still use chemical compounds in them (which defeats the purpose).  While some commercial products offer great results, I am going to suggest some methods I personally use.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Flea comb – You can find these at any pet store or online retailer.
• Flea drops – Only buy brands that say “for dogs and cats,” not just “dogs.” It’s important that you get the correct dosage for your cat’s weight and age. If you don’t know a particular brand, check with your vet before buying! Once again…do not use Frontline or any other product containing permethrin!
• Bath – This is an optional step for some people but should always be included if using flea drops (see below).  Do this once every week until all signs of fleas have stopped appearing on your cat(s)’s skin/fur/furless parts (i.e., nose).  Use dish soap only—no conditioners!
• Diatomaceous earth (DE) powder – This is another optional step but highly recommended as it will kill any remaining fleas/eggs left behind after bathing/applying treatment products like Advantage II which kills adult fleas only once they’ve bitten into our pets’ bodies; DE works much better since it dehydrates larvae while they’re still developing inside cocoons within walls or carpets where eggs hatch later on….

Conclusion

It is clear that your feline friend can be exposed to many flea related diseases, which can be life-threatening for them. Therefore, you must always make sure to keep their flea population under control, especially during the summer months. Doing so will ensure a healthier, happier cat and in turn, bring joy and laughter into your life as well.
