Fleas need a warm and humid environment to survive. Noticing them on your dogs? It’s time to get rid of fleas fast. Fortunately, you can use simple home remedies for fleas on dogs without bathing. Home remedies are products which are made at home using natural ingredients that not only repel fleas but also kill them. Fleas are a common problem for dogs, and they can be difficult to fully eradicate without the right products and the right treatment plan. There are many different ways to get rid of fleas, some of which may or may not work. In order not to waste time and money on ineffective solutions, you should arm yourself with as much information as possible. This article will show you some of the best natural remedies for fleas on dogs, as well as in your home.

Natural Remedies For Fleas

Sprays and Powders

Sprays and powders made from natural ingredients are easy to make and apply.

• For example, you can use a mixture of cedar oil, peppermint oil and lavender oil to repel fleas. Add this mixture to water in a spray bottle and mist your pet’s coat with it every day. Do not rinse off the solution or put it on an animal that has been bathed recently or that is still wet from playing outside, as this can cause irritation of the skin.
• If you prefer not to use essential oils, consider making your own powder repellent by mixing equal parts cornstarch and baking soda with some dried rosemary leaves and lavender flowers (or dried lavender leaves). Apply this powder directly onto your dog’s fur or mix it into her food once per week for maximum effectiveness against flea infestations

Essential Oils

Essential oils are a natural pesticide. They can be used to make a spray that you can use to kill fleas on your pet, in their bedding and on the floor of the room where they sleep. Be sure to follow safety precautions for all essential oils and consult a doctor before using them if you or your pet have any health problems.

Essential oils are safe for pets and people because they’re made from plants, so they don’t contain harmful chemicals like pesticides do. If you want to try an herbal approach first, consider using catnip oil or lavender oil—they’re both proven effective at repelling fleas without harming animals when applied directly (although cats may not appreciate being sprayed with lavender water).

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a great natural remedy for flea infestations. It’s acidic, so it will kill fleas and their eggs without causing any harm to your pet. Mix it with water in a 1:3 ratio (one part vinegar and three parts water) and spray the solution on your dog’s coat or cat’s fur. You can also use apple cider vinegar to clean pet bedding, furniture, or other areas where your animal has been or might be lying down during treatment. However, do not use this remedy on cats—cats have a much higher tolerance for acidity than dogs do!

Neem Oil

Neem oil is a natural pesticide that has been used for many years. It is most effective against fleas and other pests, but should be sprayed in moderation on pets because it has a strong odor.

Borax

Borax is effective at killing fleas in all stages of development, so it’s a good choice if you have pets but don’t want to use harsh chemicals. Borax is non-toxic, making it safe for kids and pets (and your home). You can find Borax at most grocery stores near the laundry detergents and cleaners. If you’re using this remedy to get rid of fleas on furniture or carpeting, sprinkle it directly onto the surface by hand, or put it into a dust pan first and then sprinkle on top of the carpet or fabric. Allow it to sit for several hours before vacuuming up the powdery residue left behind.

Lemon Spray

Lemon Spray

The acidity of lemons makes them an effective flea repellent. You can make a homemade mixture using lemon peel and water, then spray the mixture on your pet. Lemons are also useful for cleaning pet hair and skin because they contain citric acid and limonene, both of which help to eliminate dirt, oil and dead skin cells from your pet’s coat. In addition to being an effective flea repellent, lavender oil is also antibacterial so it will help keep your pet’s fur smelling fresh!

Salt

If you want to kill fleas in carpet and furniture with salt, then here is what you need to do:

• Apply a thick layer of salt over the entire area where you think there might be fleas.
• Leave it overnight, or for at least 24 hours.
• Vacuum up the excess salt before applying another layer.

You can use any kind of salt for this method, but I like using table salt because it’s cheap and readily available at grocery stores and convenience stores (you can even find small bags at gas stations). Make sure that you don’t shake off any excess water from your pets before letting them go into treated areas; otherwise their paws will come in contact with moistened carpeting or furniture and they could end up ingesting too much salt. You might want to consider putting down newspapers under mats that have been treated so that your pets don’t try licking off the dead insects sticking out of them…which would probably just make things worse!
