Not all fleas are made alike. The flea that comes with your new kitten for example, is the most dangerous one imaginable. After the kitten is fully grown, you can then safely and bloodlessly rid your house of anything living and inanimate you want to get rid of. However, during this delicate period, I would personally take the kitten to live in someone else’s house who is out of town. Otherwise, your loving pet will be thanklessly exterminated with some sort of poison that mimics Iron Maiden’s song line-up for this year’s tour. Update: Nature’s Miracle and other products that remove fleas using a bleach solution work quite well: I would be very uncomfortable in a house that had those nasties around since they go after cats so viciously before attacking me too. They came out of nowhere. I don’t even know how they got in the house (must have been the neighbor kids) but overnight our dog was crawling with fleas. It’s not uncommon for a few fleas to hitch hike on your dog and find their way into your house from time to time. They’re harmless if you aren’t allergic and can be easily taken care of by washing your pet and vacuuming your carpet a few times over the next week or so.
How To Kill Fleas In Your Yard
Flea combs
- Flea combs are a useful tool in the fight against fleas. They are small and easy to carry, but they can make a big difference when it comes to removing fleas from your pet and also from your yard or home.
- A good flea comb should be designed specifically for removing fleas; otherwise you may not get the results that you need.
Flea killers
Now that you know what fleas are and how to identify them, it’s time to get rid of them. There are several different ways to kill fleas, including natural methods and store-bought remedies.
Natural Flea Killers
One way to eliminate these pests is by using lemon juice or vinegar mixed with water. Simply mix four cups of water with two tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar, then spray the mixture on your lawn and vegetation. This treatment will kill any adult fleas present on the ground, but if you have a large yard you may need more than one bottle (or container) of this solution for effective coverage. It also helps if you spray under shrubs near your home so that other animals don’t bring more fleas inside with them after spending time outdoors!
Another natural way to repel and kill fleas is by adding cedar chips around your house—this works especially well if you live in an area where there’s a lot nearby woods; chances are good that they’ll find their way there eventually anyway so this step can help keep things under control once they’re gone!
Home remedies
- Lemon juice – When you kill fleas, it’s important to use a natural product like lemon juice. You can spray this on the grass in your yard and it will kill off any fleas that are there.
- Hot pepper – To get rid of fleas, sprinkle red pepper flakes around your yard and let them sit for about an hour before rinsing off with water. This will help eliminate all of the fleas that are hiding in your lawn and keeping them away from your pets for good!
- Vinegar – Pour some vinegar into a spray bottle and then cover all of your plants with it using a watering can so they absorb as much as possible before going back inside again later that afternoon after work hours.)
- Diatomaceous earth – Apply diatomaceous earth around any trees or shrubs outside so they won’t come near while looking for food sources nearby during hot summer days when temperatures rise above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 Celsius).
Natural repellents
Natural repellents are a tried and true way of keeping fleas away. There are a number of options out there, but it’s important to make sure that you choose one that is safe for pets and children (and the environment).
You can get rid of fleas in your yard by using one of these methods.
Fleas are hard to get rid of and can be a problem year round, not just during summer. Fleas can also be found in all areas of the country, not just in the South. Once you have an infestation of fleas, it will take some time to get rid of them completely.
It is important to start with cleaning up your yard so that new flea eggs do not hatch and start another infestation cycle again next year!
