How To Naturally Get Rid Of Fleas In The House

Introduction

Introduction

A flea infestation can be a real nightmare, especially if the thought of feeding chemicals into your pet’s system is not something you’re comfortable with.

Before we get started on how to get rid of fleas in the house, I would recommend you check out this article where I also share tips and tricks on how to prevent fleas from coming back into your house!

But first! To give you a bit of information about what fleas are and where they come from – that way it’ll make it easier for us to better understand them and tackle them head-on!

Make a flea or two suffer.

• Using a vacuum cleaner to suck up fleas is the most effective way to get rid of them.
• Flea combs are very effective in removing fleas from your pet’s coat.
• Flea sprays can be used on your pet, but they can also be used inside the home if you notice a lot of fleas in your carpet or furniture. They are easy to use and safe for both you and your pets, but make sure you follow the instructions carefully so that they don’t harm anyone else who might come into contact with them!

Know your enemy.

Fleas are small, brown, wingless insects. They can be found in many parts of the world, but they prefer to live in places with moderate temperatures and humidity.

Fleas don’t need wings because they don’t fly; instead, they jump up to 15 centimeters (about 6 inches) through the air by using a special organ called the “furcula” that acts like a catapult. A flea can jump up to 500 times in a row!

If you see any signs of fleas or notice that your cat or dog is scratching themselves excessively, it’s time for an inspection of your home for these pesky little critters

Make your house a sauna.

As you might imagine, fleas are not fond of dry environments. Flea larvae can’t survive in dry soil, and adult fleas will seek out a damp environment to lay eggs. To keep flea infestations at bay, it’s important to keep your house well-lit and airy. The more sunlight that hits your floors and walls, the better—especially during sunny afternoons when temperatures are still high (but not too hot).

You should also make sure that your house is well ventilated throughout the day; this means opening windows or doors regularly to let fresh air in as much as possible. You should use fans or other devices that circulate warm air throughout the house if necessary (this is especially important if you live in areas with humid summers).

Keep in mind that simply turning up the heat isn’t enough—you have to make sure there’s plenty of ventilation if you want to keep those pesky insects from taking over!

Redefine the word “vacuum.”

Vacuum.

This word is a bit of a misnomer, as it implies that you are only going to vacuum one or two rooms in your home. You need to do it thoroughly throughout all the rooms of your house, including behind and under furniture as well as along baseboards and on rugs. If you have pets, put them in another room while you clean so they don’t accidentally eat any fleas that might be present in the bagless canister or bagged vacuum cleaner.

Once you’ve finished vacuuming, take out the dust bag (or vacuum cleaner canister) and wash it with hot water and soap or disinfectant wipes before hanging it up to dry outside where sunlight will kill any bacteria left behind by dead fleas or eggs being destroyed by heat exposure (and make sure not to forget about cleaning other parts of your vacuuming machine!).

Create a flea trap.

To create a flea trap, you’ll need a shallow dish or bowl, soapy water and a light bulb.

Fill your bowl with soapy water so that it’s at least one-inch deep. Place the light bulb over the dish to attract fleas in your home. When they jump into the water for safety from the heat of the lamp, their bodies will become submerged and they’ll drown.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get rid of fleas in your house

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get rid of fleas in your house. You can use natural products like vinegar, baking soda, salt and more to naturally get rid of fleas. If you want to get rid of fleas in the yard as well, there are some all-natural solutions that work really well.

Conclusion

We hope that you’ve found this article useful and that it has helped you to ease the discomfort of your flea problem. The best thing to do is start out by giving your pet a bath, then vacuum everywhere, wash all the bedding, spray an organic solution around the house, and keep any outdoor areas free of pests. Finally, make sure that you’re using some type of repellent on your pet or have them treated with a chemical-based product for protection against these bloodsuckers! If none of these remedies work then consult with a professional pest control
