Flea infestations are annoying, itchy and can be dangerous if left untreated. However, you’re in luck because there are a number of things you can use to get rid of fleas on cats and dogs. Flea bites can be extremely itchy and uncomfortable for our pets. Luckily, there are natural sprays you can use to help them get rid of them before they cause further damage. Just spray the area where you see fleas or flea dirt and help your pet be free of these pests.
Natural Sprays To Kill Fleas
Lemon Spray
Lemons are a natural bleaching agent. They kill fleas, ticks and other parasites by dissolving the layers of their exoskeleton. The lemon juice also acts as an acid which is not good for fleas, who prefer alkaline environments. Lemons are antibacterial and antifungal so they can help to fight off any skin infections that may occur as a result of the bites. Lemons have antiviral properties that help prevent viruses such as ringworm and scabies from taking root on your pet’s skin and spreading to you or other animals in your household.
Lemons are rich in vitamin C which helps build up the immune system so that it is better equipped to fight off illnesses associated with flea infestation (like pneumonia). Vitamin C also helps heal open wounds caused by scratching at flea bites so they don’t get infected or become infected later on down the line when bacteria gets inside them after being reopened during grooming sessions – this makes lemon spray one of our best natural remedies against pests!
Vinegar & Peroxide
Vinegar & Peroxide
This natural spray can be used directly on your pet, but should not be applied to the skin. It is also safe for use around children and pets alike, and will kill fleas within minutes of direct contact with a flea bite. To make your own mixture, mix two parts water with one part vinegar and one part hydrogen peroxide (3% solution). Mix well in a spray bottle with an easy-to-reach pump mechanism; one application should last about 24 hours. For best results, spray furniture surfaces that may harbor fleas as well as bedding before vacuuming every few days.
Vinegar and Lemon Juice
To make a vinegar and lemon spray, mix one part white vinegar and four parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on your dog’s coat, being careful not to get any in their eyes or mouth. If you have a long-haired dog, be sure to spray their fur from underneath as well as top side so that all of the fleas will get wet when your pup shakes themselves off (and they will). You can also apply this solution by using a cotton ball if you don’t have access to a spray bottle.
Apply this solution once per day for three days in order to completely rid yourself of fleas on your beloved pet!
Salt
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly solution to flea infestations, salt is the way to go. Salt is not toxic to humans or pets, so it’s safe to use inside your home without fear of accidental ingestion.
Salt can be used in several different ways to kill fleas. You can sprinkle a thin layer of salt on carpeted areas and let it sit overnight before vacuuming it up; this will dehydrate any adult fleas that have made their way into your home. To kill adult fleas in furniture, shake some salt onto the fabric or cushions and let sit overnight before vacuuming up again. For bedding that cannot be washed (such as sleeping bags), sprinkle with a light layer of salt and allow two hours before airing out thoroughly—this should kill most remaining adults.
The one thing you should keep in mind when using this method is that while salt does kill adult fleas easily enough, eggs are much harder to eliminate because they’re protected by layers within their cocoons which don’t break down easily under normal circumstances unless they’ve been exposed directly until now
Essential Oils
- Which essential oils to use: Lavender and eucalyptus are great for flea control, but you’ll need to dilute the oil in a carrier oil. I recommend jojoba or coconut oil, but olive and soybean oil would be fine too.
- How to use them safely: If using on cats or dogs, put 1 drop of the diluted essential oil in their collar band at the base of their neck (where it will smell them but not get on their fur). If you’re applying it directly onto your pet’s skin, do so sparingly and avoid sensitive areas such as eyes, nose or mouth.
- Which essential oils are safe for cats? You can use peppermint essential oil as long as you dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it directly onto your cat’s skin. However, lavender is considered toxic—this means that even if you blend it with another carrier oil first before applying it directly onto your cat’s skin (like we recommended above), this could still cause problems depending on how much is absorbed into his body due to his size relative compared to yours! If he shows any signs of discomfort such as vomiting or diarrhea after exposure then discontinue using this product immediately since there will likely be no benefits outweighing potential risks involved here…
- Which essential oils are safe for dogs? You can use peppermint essential oil as long as you dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it directly onto any part within reachable distance from where they could lick themselves while grooming themselves….
Sprays can help you kill fleas without chemicals.
If you’re not a fan of using chemicals to kill fleas, there are other options. Natural sprays can be helpful for people who don’t want to use chemicals, or for those who want to use chemicals but want to try something else first.
It’s important that you wash your pets regularly and treat their fur with spray as well as the rest of their skin. Using a natural spray on furniture is also recommended because fleas travel easily from one place to another by jumping from host animal (your pet) to host object (your furniture).
