Getting rid of fleas in the house is a time-sensitive, important matter. Fleas reproduce rapidly. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, adding up to thousands of offspring in just a few weeks. Flea larvae are worm-like and grow very quickly, which means you should take action before they mature into adults. Since natural flea killers require time to work, their effectiveness depends on how early you catch them. And with so many choices when it comes to flea remedies, natural options might be the best way to go if you don’t want chemicals around kids or pets.

Fleas are tenacious pests and extremely hard to get rid of. Often pets will have an allergic reaction to fleas causing them to scratch excessively. Yea, I know it’s frustrating! Finding a way to get rid of fleas naturally can be a real challenge. I spent weeks trying to figure out how to get rid of fleas in the house and came up with a few different ideas for getting the job done.

How To Kill Fleas Naturally In The House

1. Fleas are annoying insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals

Fleas are very annoying insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are usually found on dogs and cats, but they can also live in birds and rodents. Fleas have been around for thousands of years, so it’s important to know how to kill them before you invite them into your home.

One way to get rid of fleas is by using natural methods such as lemon peels and vinegar sprays. These sprays will help eliminate fleas from your home without any harmful chemicals because they contain only natural ingredients like lemons or vinegar which smell good but do not cause any harm to you or your pets

2. Fleas usually infest dogs and cats, but they can also live in birds and rodents

Fleas can live on many different animals and people. They can live in the house, the yard, and even in your garden or park.

• Fleas are tiny insects that feed on the blood of cats and dogs. They are extremely small with an overall length less than 1/10th of an inch (2 millimeters).
• The adult flea is tan to dark brown in color with long legs and antennae (feelers). The female flea lays about 100 eggs after feeding on her host; these eggs fall off when she jumps off the host animal or person. A female flea may lay up to 2000 eggs during her lifetime which lasts about 2 years.#ENDWRITE

3. Flea bites cause discomfort to your pet and sometimes you too

The fleas are an insect that are very small and they can be seen moving around on your pet’s skin, the fur and in their bedding. Fleas live on your pet and suck their blood, causing irritation at the site of attachment as well as itching, scratching and sometimes even anemia. They also cause severe health issues such as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). FAD is a common skin disease that occurs when your dog or cat becomes allergic to the saliva of these parasites when they bite them.

4. Fleas often live in moist areas of the house, such as the bathroom

Fleas often live in moist areas of the house, such as the bathroom. Fleas thrive in dark, damp places and are attracted to the humidity of your bathroom. The corner where your tub meets the wall is a common spot for flea infestation because it’s hidden from view and has high humidity levels. Other places you might find fleas include:

• Your basement (especially near plumbing)
• Under furniture (such as beds or couches)

5. You must know where they hide if you wish to kill them

It is important to know where they are hiding so you can eliminate them. Fleas love dark places and carpets, so look under your bed and in the corners of your bedroom. They also love to hide in the closet, behind furniture and under rugs or carpets. You will not be able to kill fleas without locating their hiding place first!

If you have an attic, check that too because this is where a lot of fleas can live without being detected by homeowners. If you don’t have an attic but do have an unfinished basement or basement storage area, make sure that these areas are thoroughly inspected for signs of activity as well (especially if there has been flooding).

6. Use a flea comb to check your pet for fleas, if you need to use a flea treatment

If you see fleas during the inspection, you may need to use a flea treatment on your pet. Some treatment options include:

• Flea shampoo
• Flea collar/spray
• Flea dips

7. Vacuum your house thoroughly after each treatment to remove any fleas or larvae

Vacuum your house thoroughly after each treatment to remove any fleas or larvae. Vacuuming is an important part of the battle against fleas, and you should use a vacuum with a bag, not a bagless vacuum. Vacuum carpets, furniture, curtains and other areas where fleas can hide. A HEPA filter will help prevent allergens from being released into the air while you’re vacuuming.

8. Adult fleas rarely leave the host animal, but they may hop on you if your pet jumps on the couch next to you

• Adult fleas rarely leave the host animal, but they may hop on you if your pet jumps on the couch next to you.

As a result, it’s important to know how much jumping power adult fleas have. Flea eggs, larvae and pupae are all far more mobile than adults and can easily spread from one place (your house) to another without any human interference at all. However, adult fleas don’t have that ability!

9. Many experts recommend that you not treat your home for fleas until you treat your pet, or at least at the same time

Many experts recommend that you not treat your home for fleas until you treat your pet, or at least at the same time.

This is because pets are the source of the fleas in most cases. If you treat your house without treating the pet first, then any fleas that are in their pupal stage will be able to emerge and bite you again before they die on their own.

Tips and tricks for getting rid of fleas

• Vacuum the house. This will help remove any fleas and larvae on the floor, as well as eggs that may be in your carpeting or furniture. Be sure to vacuum under furniture, beds and other places where there could be a few stray fleas hiding out for a snack of human blood whenever you’re not looking.
• Use a flea comb to check your pet for fleas. You can also use the same technique on yourself or any other person who comes into contact with your pet regularly: It won’t hurt if there are a few leftover stragglers hanging around on us!
• Treat your home with insecticides following instructions from the manufacturer’s label closely—and don’t forget that pets should be treated as well!
