How To Naturally Get Rid Of Fleas In Your Home
Introduction
Fleas are disgusting (and itchy), and they can be hard to get rid of. Even worse, many of the chemicals used to kill fleas can be harmful to you and your family. The good news is there are plenty of natural ways to get rid of fleas in your home. Check out these tips for taking care of a flea problem without having to use nasty chemicals:
Vacuum like crazy.
Vacuuming is one of the most important steps in naturally getting rid of fleas. Vacuum all areas of your home to ensure that you get all the fleas, larvae and eggs.
You should vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture infested with fleas or any area where your pet might have been exposed to them. If you have wooden floors, sweep them instead of vacuuming as this will help prevent dust from clogging up your vacuum cleaner’s filter and it will be easier on your floors as well.
- Vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture infested with fleas or any area where your pet might have been exposed to them – this includes under furniture too!
- Vacuum pet beds (if applicable) – Do not forget about other hard surfaces like bedding if applicable!
Fleas really don’t love water, so washing your pet’s bedding in hot water every week is a good way to kill fleas and their eggs.
- Wash your pet’s bedding in hot water.
- Wash your pet’s bedding in cold water.
- Wash your pet’s bedding in a washing machine.
- Wash the bedding in a washing machine with hot water (not boiling).
Make sure you keep a clean home generally.
To help keep fleas away, it’s important to keep your home clean and dry. The first step to doing this is keeping your pets off the floor as much as possible, especially carpets and soft furnishings like couches and sofas. You also want to make sure your pets aren’t sharing beds with you, as fleas love warm places where humans sleep (and vice versa). If you have an indoor cat who likes to sleep on the couch or in bed with you, try moving them into their own room for a couple of weeks, if possible. This will give the flea infestation time to die down before they’re reintroduced into the main living area of your house!
Buy or make some flea traps to put around the house, particularly in areas where pets spend a lot of time.
If you’re looking for a quick, natural way to get rid of fleas in your home, flea traps are the best option. Flea traps catch and kill adult fleas and their eggs without using harsh pesticides.
Flea traps can be bought from pet stores or made at home using materials you probably already have lying around (such as a mason jar and some dryer sheets). While these traps work well for killing adult fleas, they don’t kill their eggs, so it may take several days for an infestation to be completely eliminated if you only use this method.
Keeping the house clean and vacuuming regularly will help get rid of fleas naturally.
To get rid of fleas naturally, it’s important to keep your house clean and tidy. Vacuuming at least once a day will help remove dirt, dust and other allergens that can attract fleas. Wash pet bedding every week in hot water with detergent to kill any eggs or larvae that have hatched out.
Flea traps are another great way to reduce the number of fleas in your household. They use light bulbs as heat sources and attract adult fleas, who jump into cups filled with soapy water; this drowns them or kills them by burning their delicate bodies at temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). You can order these online or make one yourself from old wine bottles, glass jars or tins — just be sure not to use plastic containers because they won’t withstand heat very well.
Natural remedies such as essential oils might also work well for killing existing fleas on your dogs and cats when mixed into shampoos or lotions; however, if you don’t have pets then I wouldn’t recommend using these remedies since there aren’t enough studies yet showing how effective they are against people-biting insects like mosquitoes and ticks (though some anecdotal evidence suggests they may kill certain types).
