Natural Treatment For Fleas
Fleas are tiny bugs that appear on your pets and suck their blood. They can be a nuisance for both your pet and you because they multiply quickly and can cause health complications to your beloved pets.
Fleas are tiny, brownish-black insects that appear on your pets and suck their blood. They can be a nuisance for both your pet and you because they multiply quickly and can cause health complications to your beloved pets.
- Fleas can cause discomfort to your pets by bit them and sucking their blood. This causes itchy skin which may lead to scratching, hair loss, or bald patches in the fur of the animal being bitten by fleas (e.g., cats). A severe infestation may cause anemia in dogs or cats if left untreated for long periods of time
- Fleas spread tapeworms when they feed off an infected animal host; this is especially common in cats when they become infested with flea larvae while grooming themselves after being outside or playing with other animals who have been outside recently (e.g., outdoor cat vs indoor cat). You could also get tapeworms from eating raw meat if it was not cooked properly before consumption – so make sure you cook all ground meats thoroughly!
There are chemical treatments for fleas. However, some people search for natural treatments for them. In this article, there are several ways to remove fleas naturally.

Natural Flea Treatments:
- Vacuum the carpet and upholstery on a regular basis to remove eggs and larvae. If you have pets that spend time outside in your yard, they can bring fleas into your home easily by bringing eggs or larvae on their fur back inside with them. The vacuum cleaner will kill these pests before they can mature into adult fleas inside your house or apartment building.
- Use Borax as a pesticide in the garden area such as vegetable patches or fruit trees to repel insects like aphids which attract mosquitoes including those that carry disease causing organisms such as West Nile Virus (WNV) from spreading from plant roots onto human skin where it could potentially cause serious illness if bitten by one of these infected bugs – especially if you live within an area where WNV has been detected recently.”
(1) Create a flea-repelling spray with essential oils:
- To make a natural flea spray with essential oils, add equal amounts of rosemary, lavender and peppermint oils to a quart of water in a spray bottle. Shake it up so that the ingredients are well mixed, then use as you would any other household cleaner. Spray on bedding or rugs before crawling into them at night; this will keep any fleas from biting you during your sleep!
- It’s important to note that different essential oils work better than others when it comes to repelling fleas; these are some of the best ones:
- Rosemary essential oil is an antifungal and antibacterial agent that also helps repel insects (including ticks). It also contains rosmarinic acid—an antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties—which makes it perfect for people with sensitive skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.*
- Lavender has been used for centuries as an insect repellent because its strong aroma masks their smells; additionally, its scent can make you feel relaxed enough so that even if there are bugs crawling around outside your house they won’t bother coming inside either!*
- Peppermint has been shown in scientific studies at Purdue University among others to be effective against many types of insects including cockroaches–not just fleas–due primarily because their aversion toward menthol.*
Subsection: Lemon, lavender, and eucalyptus essential oils are known as flea repellents. You can make a spray by mixing 2 ounces of water into 4 drops of each essential oil. You can put the mixture in a spray bottle to be used on your pets’ bedding, rugs, carpeting or any areas where you think the infestation is prevalent.

If you only have one animal in your home that does not go outside but has fleas on it anyway, use this mixture as an all-over body spray for them as well as their bedding and other areas that they frequent such as soft furnishings like sofas or chairs around their sleeping area.
