Our guide will walk you through these steps and outline the best methods for killing fleas in your house.
How To Kill Fleas In Your House
Thoroughly vacuum every room in the house and outside of the house.
Vacuuming is an important step, especially if you have carpets or upholstered furniture. You want to vacuum all carpets and upholstery, as well as crevices in walls and floors, cracks along baseboards and moldings, furniture, drapes (but not fabrics that could be damaged by the suction), rugs (especially area rugs)
Vacuum your car seats thoroughly.
Vacuum your car seats:
• Vacuum the seats with a brush attachment and spend extra time working in the cracks, crevices and seams of the seat.
• Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. A HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter is used to trap microscopic particles such as dust, pollen and pet dander before it returns to your breathing space. By using this type of vacuum on your car seats, you can prevent fleas from spreading through your home once they leave their host’s hair follicles or skin cells behind.
• Wash off any carpets or upholstery as soon as possible after vacuuming them so that no flea larvae are left behind to hatch later on in your home.
Wash your pets bedding in hot water, dry it on high heat.

Wash all of your linens and towels in hot water, and dry on high heat.
Wash all of your linens and towels in hot water, and dry on high heat.
To kill fleas on your linens, use a laundry detergent with enzymes as this will help break down the proteins in flea eggs so they won’t hatch. You can also use laundry detergent with bleach or essential oils to kill the flea larvae that may be hiding in your bedding. Another option for killing adult fleas is to add natural enzymes such as borax or soap nuts to the wash cycle – these are both safe for washing children’s clothing too!
Wash all of your laundry thoroughly in hot water, and dry on high heat.
When washing bedding, make sure to use hot water. If you have a washer with an agitator in the middle of the drum, be sure to remove it before washing. The heat from the water will kill flea eggs, larvae, and adult fleas present in your laundry. It is important to dry all items on high heat because this will ensure that any remaining eggs are eliminated as well.
You can also use a steam cleaner to sanitize your furniture and carpets by spraying them down with hot water vapor or steam that has been heated up by boiling water inside of it (just remember not to burn yourself!).
Mow your lawn.
- Mow your lawn.
In order to kill fleas, you need to expose them to the sun. The heat from the sun will dry out their bodies and cause them to die. So, mowing your lawn at least once a week is one of the best ways to get rid of fleas in your yard. Try to do it early in the morning or late at night when it’s cool out since this way they won’t be exposed for too long of a period of time and their bodies will dry more quickly due to lack of sunlight (especially during summer). Also, make sure that you mow at its highest setting so that all those pesky flea eggs are killed off (they’re usually hidden deep down under blades).
Keep up with yard maintenance to prevent overgrowth that can harbor fleas.
Keep your grass mowed and remove leaves from flower beds. This will help prevent overgrowth that can harbor fleas and their eggs.
Remove dead leaves from flower beds around the house.
You can also remove dead leaves from around the house.
Fleas may live in dead leaves in flower beds, so be sure to remove any that you find.
Treat pets with a flea collars or flea drops from veterinarian.
If your pet has fleas, treat it with a collar or drops from the veterinarian. The collar is usually best for cats and small dogs, while drops work better for large dogs. If you have kittens or puppies, don’t use collars at all because they can be dangerous.
Flea collars help prevent a few fleas from getting on your animals but won’t kill existing ones or any eggs that have been laid since the last time you changed their collars. They also prevent new ones from jumping onto them when they leave their yard (which could be helpful if you’re really struggling to keep control of the situation).
The best way to kill fleas is to hire a professional exterminator
If you want to ensure that your flea problem is solved, the best way to do so is to hire a professional exterminator. These professionals have all the right tools and expertise needed to kill fleas. They can treat your entire house, yard, pets, car and bed (if applicable). This gives you peace of mind knowing that no matter where in your house or yard the fleas may be hiding; they will be eliminated for good!
