Best Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Fleas
Introduction
If your pet has fleas, you’re not alone. Fleas are the most common external parasite of cats and dogs. Luckily, you can get rid of fleas naturally without using harsh chemicals that can harm your pet or your family. Here are some home remedies to get rid of those pests in no time!
Use Baking Soda
In order to effectively rid your home of fleas, you will need to use baking soda. Baking soda is a natural ingredient that can be found in many homes. Baking soda has been used for centuries as an alternative treatment for various health ailments and conditions including fleas.
If you have fleas in your home, it is important to treat them immediately before they begin multiplying and spreading throughout the house. You may want to consider hiring an exterminator if there are many fleas in your house or if it is difficult for you or another family member who suffers from allergies or asthma due to their presence.
Here are some steps on how you can use baking soda:
Use Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth (DE), also known as fossil flour, is a naturally occurring, soft, chalky rock that’s often used in gardening because it can be easily spread over the soil to control pests. It works by dehydrating insects and breaking down their exoskeleton. The powder consists of fossils of diatoms—microscopic organisms that are typically found in fresh water or marine environments.
Diatomaceous earth is mainly used as a supplement for human and animal nutrition. It’s also used as an abrasive on metal surfaces to keep them clean and smooth; this application makes DE extremely useful for those who work with metal alloys like copper or stainless steel.
In addition to being an effective pest control method, applying DE around your home will help deter rodents from entering your property while keeping fleas at bay!
Use Lemon Spray
- Combine lemon juice and water in a spray bottle. It’s best to use organic, non-toxic lemons for this remedy, but if you don’t have any on hand, go ahead and use regular lemons—just make sure they’re washed thoroughly before you start spraying!
- Spray the mixture on your pet’s fur and all around their bed. If you want to get rid of fleas in other places in your house (like couches or carpet), spray those areas too. If you only want fleas gone from one specific area of your home—like near where your pets sleep—spray only that spot rather than everything else!
- Leave it to dry for about 20 minutes before repeating every day until there are no more signs of fleas in your home (or at least not enough evidence left behind that they’ve been there). This may mean repeating this process several times per day until all signs are gone; however, once done properly it should take no more than seven days tops (and often much less time than that). And remember: while this method can help kill off existing fleas pretty quickly with repeated daily applications over time…it won’t work unless used consistently throughout each day so make sure not miss any applications when applying each morning/evening during treatment period.”
Use Fennel Leaves
Fennel leaves are an excellent natural flea repellent. If you’re dealing with a flea infestation, place a few fennel leaves in your carpeting and run over them with a vacuum sweeper or brush them into the fibers with your hand. This will help repel the insects and make it harder for them to get back into your home once they leave.
Use Cedarwood Oil
Cedarwood oil is a natural flea repellent, so you can use this to keep your cat from being bothered by the pesky pests. To do this, mix equal parts water and cedarwood oil into a spray bottle. Then, spray it on your pet: their fur will absorb the mixture and repel fleas away from them. You can also spray this mixture onto your bedding, furniture and carpets: fleas will be repelled by contact with any of these surfaces as well!
If you want to get rid of fleas in multiple rooms of your home at once (and save yourself some time), we recommend using an essential oils diffuser like this one from Amazon. This device works by dispersing scented vapors throughout your entire house—fleas hate these smells so they’ll avoid entering rooms where they’re present!
Use Apple Cider Vinegar
To kill fleas, you can use a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar.
Mix 2 parts water with 1 part apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it directly onto your pet’s fur to kill the fleas on contact. Leave the solution on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with water. Repeat daily until all of the fleas are gone from your pet’s fur and skin, up to three times per week if necessary depending on how many fleas they have (or had).
Apply Rosemary and Lemon Powder
- Mix rosemary powder with lemon powder to make a fine dry mixture.
- Apply this mixture on the affected areas of your dog/cat and leave it for at least 30 minutes or more if necessary, depending on how long it takes for the fleas to bite again after you have applied this remedy.
- Rinse off with water and repeat daily until all the fleas are gone.
You can get rid of fleas naturally.
