Do you have a flea problem in your yard? If so, you might be wondering what the best way to get rid of them is. You might not know that you can use handy household items to tackle fleas and their eggs. One of the simplest solutions is bleach. By mixing bleach with water and pouring it over areas infested with fleas, you’ll find that the bleach will kill about 99% of the fleas in your yard. A study done by Michigan State University showed that 0% of the fleas survived exposure to a 10% bleach solution for eight hours. And when using a 30% bleach solution, 100% of the fleas were killed. I once had a problem with fleas in my backyard. At first I didn’t know what I was dealing with and tried a bunch of different products that were supposed to kill or repel them. Now, I’m going to tell you what worked best, what didn’t work at all, and which products I would recommend. In this post I will reveal to you how to kill fleas in backyard naturally. It really isn’t difficult, if you are using the right methods. I’m going to share with you my own process that has worked well for me in the past.
How To Kill Fleas In Backyard
Many people don’t realize that they need to kill fleas in backyard. Most people think that getting rid of these pests in the home is enough. However, they are wrong. These pests can actually live all over your home, not just in your living room or dining room.
You will be surprised to know that fleas can live in your backyard as well. This means that the flea treatments you do inside your home may not be enough to kill all of them, especially those living outside. The best way to get rid of these annoying pests is by treating your entire yard and garden with products that are specifically designed for this purpose.
When you treat the area around your house with a product designed for killing fleas, it will not only kill any existing adult and larval forms but also prevent new ones from emerging or hatching out by providing residual protection through contact and feeding deterrents, which means they won’t come back again unless they find another host like a dog or cat – both of which are immune to most over-the-counter spot-on products since they don’t absorb well into fur; yet another reason why using them as an alternative method doesn’t work either!
Using one product instead would mean having less control over what’s actually getting sprayed into open areas where other pets might play without knowing about it beforehand (especially if they’re outdoors frequently). These include: herbicides; insecticides; disinfectants like bleach solutions (which aren’t recommended because they’ll destroy organic matter too quickly); pesticides such as pyrethrins/pyrethrumoids; rodenticides such as bromadiolone
The good news is that there are ways you can prevent fleas from invading your backyard as well. Here’s a look at some of the best methods you should use to ensure that you are never bothered by these pests ever again!

- Insecticides. Applying insecticides to your yard can be an effective way to kill off any fleas that may have started breeding in our yards. This method is most effective if done before springtime, when they first come out of hibernation and begin crawling around looking for a place to lay their eggs! Also keep in mind that this method should only be used on areas where children or pets won’t come into contact with them (such as near bushes or other shrubs).
- Flea repellents. Spraying down grass with a natural repellent like citronella oil will ward off both adult and larval stages of these pests, effectively keeping them away from our yards! While not necessarily killing them outright like using insecticides would do (which could kill beneficial insects too), it will help reduce their numbers so long as we continue spraying regularly throughout summer months when flea populations peak here in America especially during hot weather conditions which make it easier for them thrive under those circumstances due largely because warmer temperatures permit eggs laid earlier during winter months hatch quicker than normal which then allows larvae grow faster than normal growth rates might otherwise allow them occur under cooler temperatures such
