Fleas are a common annoyance among pet owners. While they’re often a nuisance to dogs and cats, they can also be a problem for humans. Flea bites when humans are the most susceptible to them, which is during sleep. You might also be wondering, “How do I kill fleas at home?” That’s what this article will explain to you. You’ve probably tried every flea treatment out there and still have fleas. You’re not alone. Traditional pest control methods don’t seem to work. That’s because they attack the fleas on your pet while ignoring the fleas in your home. If you want to kill those fleas, you need a treatment made for flea infestations in a home – not just a topical spray or collar for your dog or cat. I hate fleas. Fleas are gross and disgusting. They can infect your pets, bite you and make you itchy. You don’t want them in your home or around your family or pets. This article is going to cover the best way to get rid of fleas in your home for good! There are a couple ways to kill fleas at home and we’ll cover the best flea treatment for home, as well as top tips for keeping fleas away in your pets.

How To Kill Fleas At Home

Step 1: Treat your pets

Fleas are a menace to your home and family. They can cause countless problems for you and your pets, including skin irritation, allergic reactions, and blood loss. For this reason, it’s important that you treat your pets immediately if they have fleas. The following methods work well on dogs:

• Flea shampoo—this product is applied directly to the fur of your pet once or twice a month depending on their size and breed of dog. You should also wash their bedding with hot water every week while they’re being treated with these products in order to kill any eggs that may have been laid by adult fleas during treatment time frames
• Flea drops—these come in liquid form which is applied directly onto the skin at least once per month depending on the size and breed of dog; these are usually given orally via pill but some dogs prefer topical application which means putting them directly onto their necks where most dogs like licking themselves anyway so why not?! 🙂 Either way works great!

Step 2: Wash all bedding, cloth furniture and rugs

You should also wash all bedding and cloth furniture with hot water and detergent, then dry in the sun. Wash floors with vinegar and borax to kill the fleas. Vacuum carpets daily, or every other day if you have a large space to cover or are working with a budget. You can also spray all surfaces with flea spray now that they are clean.

Step 3: Don’t forget about the kids’ toys

• Don’t forget about the kids’ toys. Fleas can be found in many of our favorite toys, and these pests are very hardy. Flea eggs can hatch out of toys that have been stored for several months. The eggs take up to two weeks to turn into larvae, which then feed on organic material such as dead skin cells and other debris until they mature into adult fleas. In addition to being a nuisance, these pests will bite humans and pets alike!
• Remove all items from your home that were brought in from outside; this includes plants and gardening tools. If you’re not sure whether an item was purchased outside (or if it was given away), be sure to contact the seller or donor before bringing it into your home so there’s no chance of spreading fleas around your dwelling.

Step 4: Vacuum everywhere

After you’ve used the spray, the next step is to vacuum everywhere. You’ll want to focus on your carpet, furniture, and rugs first—and if you have a dog at home (or any other pet), be sure that their bedding gets cleaned too. After that, it’s time for upholstery and drapery. Finally, finish off your cleaning spree by vacuuming hardwood floors as well as upholstery/drapery with an attachment specifically designed for this task or a crevice tool if you don’t have one handy.

Step 5: Treat the carpet with boric acid

Boric acid is a natural insecticide that is safe to use around pets and children. It’s also safe to use in homes with pets and children, as long as you follow the directions on the label. When used properly, there are no known side effects from boric acid exposure.

In general, there is no reason not to use this product around food if you’re treating an area that isn’t used for dining (i.e., kitchen counters).

Step 6: Spray a flea spray everywhere

Spray a flea spray everywhere. The goal here is to kill any fleas that may still be hanging around from the previous steps, and prevent new ones from entering the home. Spray the carpet and furniture in particular, as these are areas that are known for harboring adult fleas. You should also spray along baseboards, floorboards, curtains and window sills. In addition to these areas specifically where you know there’s been an infestation or where you suspect there might be some lurking around (such as crevices or cracks), it’s important to also spray pet beds or any other surfaces where animals sleep or rest regularly because this is where eggs can hatch into larvae that infest your house again as adults later on.

Step 7: Deep clean your carpets

The final step in the process of killing fleas at home is to deep clean your carpets. This should be done immediately after vacuuming and before applying any pesticide-based sprays or powders.

There are a number of ways to deep clean carpets, depending on your budget and personal preferences:

• Use a professional carpet cleaner if you have the money/time. These can be expensive but they’re worth it if you want to ensure that there are no fleas left alive in your carpets. However, this method requires some knowledge about how much water goes into which type of machine (for example, steam cleaners may not be able to handle certain types of stains).

Step 8: Keep pets outside for a few days

You should keep your pet outside for a few days after treating them to ensure that the fleas do not reinfest. You should also vacuum and clean your home thoroughly, to make sure there are no fleas left over in carpets or furniture.

If all else fails, bring in professional exterminators.

If all else fails, bringing in professional exterminators is the next step. They will have the right chemicals and equipment to get rid of fleas quickly and safely. This is often a wise decision because they can guarantee that their services will keep your home pest-free for as long as possible.
