If you have pets in your home and they roam freely around the house, sooner or later they will bring home fleas. These parasites are not only present on the pet. They are also present inside your carpet, particularly if you have a cat. Fleas on carpets can be very irritating to mankind because they make you scratch as if they are on your skin. It is better to remove them as soon as possible before things get worse. There are several ways to kill parasitic fleas that are on your dogs and cats. Depending on what kind of parasites are in the house, you need to know how to treat flea infestations with natural methods. After coming home from a long drive with your children, you notice one of them scratching incessantly at his/her arm. Your first instinct is to scream “Eww! Get that nasty bug off of you!” But when you see what “bug” it is, you realize it’s not a bug…it’s a flea. And immediately you’re disgusted and horrified because they were in your car. Fleas are one of the most commonly found pests in homes and carpets, so let’s talk about how to kill fleas on carpet. We have had fleas in our house. It’s horrible! And I have sprayed and sprayed, with no good result. Then someone told me that vinegar and water will not only kill fleas on the carpet but put them in their graves.

How To Kill Fleas On Carpet

Check your pets for fleas.

• Fleas are small, brown insects that live on the skin of pets and humans. They can cause severe skin irritation, especially in pets with flea allergies.
• Fleas are a common cause of allergies in humans, especially children and allergic dogs.
• In addition to causing severe itching and rashes, fleas can transmit tapeworms to humans.

Treat your pets with a flea medication.

Treating your pets with a flea medication is the best way to keep them from being bitten by fleas, and it’s one of the best ways to prevent an infestation in your home as well. Flea medications should be given to pets once a month, but you’ll want to continue using them for as long as there are fleas present in your home (and maybe even longer).

Vacuum your carpets to remove adult fleas and eggs.

Vacuuming is the most effective way to kill fleas. A vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter will remove adult fleas, eggs, and larvae from your carpets and upholstery. Vacuum at least once every day for at least one week following treatment. You should also vacuum bedding and other soft furnishings to ensure all stages of the flea life cycle are removed.

Wash any bedding or pet bedding in hot water.

The next step is to wash all your bedding and pet beds in hot water. You can do this in your washing machine or you can hand wash with detergent on a large sink or tub. Wash at least twice and make sure to rinse thoroughly. Finally, dry these items in the sunlight (if possible) or use a dryer with high heat settings for an hour or more.

Use a carpet cleaning solution containing borax on your carpets.

To kill fleas using borax, you will have to mix it with water to form a paste. First, you have to make sure that the solution doesn’t get on your skin or in your eyes. You can use gloves or wear a face mask so as not to inhale any of the borax dust. Then apply the paste onto carpets and rugs where you think there are fleas present. Leave this mixture for about 12 hours before vacuuming up the powder along with dead parasites and eggs.

When using borax in this way, keep an eye out for any pets or children who may come into contact with it while cleaning carpets—but don’t worry too much because it is completely safe to use around pets if done properly by following all instructions carefully!

To effectively kill fleas on carpet, you need to treat both the carpet and the environment around it

The truth is that you can’t kill fleas on carpet by treating only the carpet. Or, more accurately, you CAN kill them in your carpet but they will simply come back and cause havoc again once their eggs hatch out of their cocoons. To effectively kill the fleas on your carpet and prevent them from coming back, you need to treat both the carpet and the environment around it.
