How To Kill Fleas Outside

It can be tricky to kill fleas in your yard without harming the environment or pets. But don’t worry, there are some methods which you could use to kill fleas outside and in your lawn. A flea bomb will work, however it’s not environmentally friendly and may destroy friendly insects like ladybugs. If you want a safer alternative that won’t harm the beautiful ladybugs while also killing the fleas, read on to find out more. Are you looking for a natural way to effectively kill fleas outside permanently? Have you tried over-the-counter dog flea products that either don’t work or just don’t feel safe on your dog? You’ve got fleas in the house. You know that there are countless ways to get rid of fleas, but they all involve spending money. My wallet thanks you, because it would be a real shame to spend money on something that you can fix without spending a dime. That’s right; it doesn’t cost anything to get rid of fleas naturally.

How To Kill Fleas Outside

lemon juice and water spray

Lemon juice can be used as a natural flea repellent and flea killer. Lemons are rich in citric acid, which is an effective insecticide for killing both adult and larvae stages of the flea life cycle. To make a lemon juice spray, mix one cup of warm water with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a spray bottle. Spray areas where your pets spend time outdoors to repel and kill adult fleas on contact.

dish soap and warm water

For a simple solution, mix 1/2 cup of dish soap with 1 gallon of warm water. Spray the mixture on your dog, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Rinse off the dog and his bedding every day until fleas are gone.

borax

Borax is a boron-based compound that is effective at killing fleas, ticks, and bed bugs. It is safe for humans and pets when used as directed. Borax only kills adult fleas but not their eggs or larvae. You will need to reapply the borax every few weeks to ensure continued success in ridding your home of these pests.

neem oil

Neem oil works by smothering the fleas, which then die from dehydration. You can apply it to your pet’s coat or shampoo them with it, but be careful—neem oil is a strong insecticide that can be harmful if ingested.

If you want an all-natural way to kill fleas, look no further than neem oil.

salt and lemon juice

  • Mix salt and lemon juice. The salt will kill fleas by dehydrating them, while the lemon juice has natural flea repellent properties.
  • Apply a paste of this mixture to areas where you have seen fleas (or other pests) or think they might be hiding, such as carpets and furniture, dog beds and kennels, outdoor areas where your pet spends time—basically anywhere that sees a lot of activity from your pets and/or is frequented by cats looking for food or shelter from the rain! Wash off any excess after 30 minutes; if you leave it on too long it can stain wood finishes in high concentrations so don’t let it sit longer than necessary!

baking soda and salt

The easiest way to kill fleas outside is by mixing salt and baking soda. Sprinkle the mixture over your carpets, furniture, and other areas where fleas might be present. Let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming it up. Repeat as necessary until no more fleas are found in your home or yard.

rosemary and vinegar

Another option is rosemary and vinegar, which can be used on the outdoor areas where you or your pets may come into contact with fleas. Rosemary leaves release an odor that repels fleas, so scattering them around your yard will help keep these pests away from you and your pet. Vinegar is also a natural pesticide, which means it will kill off any adult fleas present in the area. Mix equal parts of rosemary leaves and vinegar in a spray bottle, then apply it to lawns near trees or bushes where ticks live. Leave this mixture on the grass for two days before removing it using water from a hose.

lavender oil

Lavender oil can be applied to your pets and yard in the same way as peppermint oil, but with one difference: you must dilute it with water. Mix 2 drops of lavender oil with 1 ounce of water, then apply this mixture to your dog’s coat or mow your lawn.

If you want to use lavender on your house or cats, mix 2 drops of lavender oil into a spray bottle filled with 2 ounces of water, then spray the inside and outside surfaces of your home. You can also use this mixture as an air freshener by spraying it around rooms in which you like having a pleasant scent (such as bedrooms) once every week or so.It’s important not to overdo lavender when using it indoors; it can cause headaches if left undiluted for too long in enclosed spaces such as closets or dressers – especially if someone has allergies!
