Fleas are a common problem among the dogs. These tiny creatures are efficient in multiplying and damaging the skin of your doggies. If you are getting annoyed with these invertebrates, then you can use the following effective home remedies to get rid of flea problem from your house. Fleas are those nasty bugs that bite your dogs directly. And when they do, they inject some of their saliva into the wound. This has the effect of opening your dogs skin pores and later making it more prone to infections. This happens because flea saliva contain antibiotics that help prevent infection in the flea’s gut. However, since dogs are not fleas’ natural host, this is one of the many dangers they pose to us. Dogs have no immunity against these bacteria and parasites and infiltration of any substance into their blood streams can lead to illness. Having said all of that, it is important to ensure that you remove the fleas from your dog properly or else you’ll find yourself having a bigger problem with them. This article will focus on how to make the best homemade approach for eliminating fleas from dogs and keeping them off in future.

Natural Way To Kill Dog Fleas

garlic

Garlic is a well-known home remedy for fleas, but it can be tricky to administer. Garlic is toxic to dogs in large quantities and it’s important not to use too much of it. When crushed or chopped up into small pieces and added to food, garlic doesn’t bother most dogs at all. However, if you are using garlic oil or powder (which aren’t usually found in the kitchen), you’ll want to skip those methods of application because they can be very potent.

Instead of adding garlic directly on your dog’s skin or fur (which would create an unpleasant smell), consider crushing some cloves and sprinkling them over your pup’s food each day until he gets rid of his pesky fleas!

apple cider vinegar

This is the most common and natural way to kill dog fleas. Apple cider vinegar is an effective home remedy for getting rid of the pesky pests, and it won’t harm your dog in any way.

To make this treatment, you will need:

• a spray bottle
• apple cider vinegar diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio (1 part apple cider vinegar to 1 part water)
• Use caution when applying it to your dog’s coat—you want to avoid getting any in its eyes or on its skin. An easy way to do this is by spraying the solution onto the back of your hand first, then rubbing it into the fur of your pet with those same hands. If you prefer using a spray bottle instead of pouring it directly onto your pet’s fur, dilute apple cider vinegar with water at a 1:1 ratio as described above before filling up the bottle with either filtered or distilled water.*

lime juice

While you’ll be killing fleas on other animals, your dog will still have them. Limes and lemons are good alternatives to using chemicals like Frontline, Advantage, or Revolution on your dog. The citric acid in these fruits acts as a natural insecticide that can repel fleas, ticks and other pests for up to three weeks at a time! To create this homemade flea repellent:

After rinsing the limes or lemons with water (to remove any waxes), cut off the ends and slice them into quarters lengthwise.

Heat 3 cups of water in a saucepan until almost boiling then add the sliced limes or lemons (don’t forget to remove their seeds). Allow them sit in there for 15 minutes before removing and let cool overnight at room temperature so that they can dry out completely before storing them away from direct sunlight when not being used on your pet’s coat.

citrus juice

You can use citrus juice to kill fleas on your dog. The acidity in the juice will also repel fleas and keep them off of your pet. This is a safe and natural way to treat dogs with fleas, which means you don’t have to worry about poisoning or hurting them if you use it incorrectly.

To treat your dog who has fleas, spray some citrus juice directly onto their fur. You may need more than one application before you see results. It’s also possible that the citrus will not be enough by itself, so you might want to combine it with other home remedies such as applying coconut oil or rubbing dryer sheets along their skin in order to kill off any remaining insects on the surface of their bodies while they sleep at night during treatment time (less mess!).

Citrus fruits like oranges contain citric acid that kills insects by drying out their exoskeletons; this effect becomes even more concentrated when using freshly squeezed orange juice instead of bottled varieties because there are fewer preservatives added during processing periods which means less chance getting sick from ingesting something toxic off-handedly sneaking into someone’s mouth accidentally swallowing something–no matter how accidental it might seem like someone else thoughtfully put there for us all those years ago!

rosemary

Rosemary is a natural flea repellent, and can be used in powdered form or as an essential oil.

It can be used to repel fleas and ticks on dogs and cats, but also on furniture and bedding.

lavender oil

Lavender oil is a popular and effective way to get rid of fleas. As an essential oil, it’s toxic to fleas but not dangerous to use on your dog. Lavender oil can be applied directly to the fur of your dog or dropped into a diffuser and pumped through the air. This will kill any fleas in your house while also adding a nice calming aroma that will help you feel better after spending hours trying to get rid of every last one!

Use natural products to kill fleas.

There are several natural products to kill fleas that are available at your local grocery store or pet supply store. They can be used on the dog and in the environment so you can kill fleas on all surfaces where your dog may come into contact with them. Natural products are less harmful than chemicals and they’re also affordable which makes them perfect if you don’t want to spend much money on killing them off. Some people may worry about using these products on their dogs because they fear that it might cause harm but this isn’t true at all! The best thing about using these natural remedies is that they smell good, work well and have no side effects (unless you accidentally get an eye full of vinegar).
