Hey there folks! If you’re looking for a homemade flea killer that’s natural, easy, cheap and guaranteed to work, then you’ve come to the right place! My name is Johnny Johnson, and over the last couple of years I’ve had plenty of experience battling fleas in my home. If you’ve ever had a flea infestation then you probably know how annoying it can be. These little critters are just about everywhere! Have you ever heard of using borax powder to kill fleas? Many people are not aware that one of the most common ways of killing fleas is by using a substance called diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is a very fine powder that contains tiny fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. It works by literally crushing the exoskeleton of your pet’s fleas apart.
Borax For Killing Fleas
Borax for Flea Infestations
Borax acts as a desiccant. It can kill adult fleas, flea larvae, and most importantly the flea eggs by absorbing the moisture from the body.
Sprinkle Borax on Flea-infested Carpet
Borax can be used to treat flea-infested carpets. Sprinkle the powder liberally over the surface of the carpet then sweep with a stiff brush to ensure the powder gets to the base of the carpet. Let the powder sit for a day or two before you clear it away with a vacuum cleaner.
Sprinkle Borax on Household Furniture
The carpet isn’t the only place you can apply borax to get rid of indoor flea problems. Sprinkle borax on other parts of the house that is likely to be harboring fleas, such as sofas and other upholstered furniture.
Once a day or two has passed, make sure there are no borax remnants remaining by vacuuming every inch of the furniture.
Borax Safety
While borax is a natural mineral, it should never be used in the vicinity of pets and children as it may prove toxic once they are exposed to a certain amount. If you have kids or pets then consider using other natural solutions like food-grade diatomaceous earth.
For safety reasons, you should also wear a face mask to ensure you aren’t breathing in large amounts of the powder while it’s being applied.
