It is a fact that fleas infest houses. It’s also a fact that you do not want them on your pets or in your home. If you have both of these things for sure, then fleas in the house are inevitable and you must kill them.There are many ways to get rid of fleas from your home. Our pets are a very important part of the family and this makes flea infestation a serious issue. If you depend on your pets for safety and for company, losing these creatures to fleas is one of the worst things that can happen to you. But we would like to make sure that this never affects you or your family. This is why we have come up with such an effective yet cheap way to get rid of the infestation and not just that, but also prevent them from getting into your animals as well.
Natural Way To Kill Fleas In The House
Keeps fleas away from your pets?
Keep your pets clean. Fleas are more common in catteries, so if you have several cats or dogs, it’s important to keep them clean and regularly groomed.
Regularly check your pet’s fur. It may take several days to notice fleas on a pet—if you see any of these signs, wash him with soap and water right away: flea dirt (small black spots), tiny particles that look like pepper under his coat; excessive scratching/biting at his skin; reddish bumps or bald patches.”
Vacuuming is absolutely necessary, as every time you vacuum, eggs and larvae are killed.
You will have to vacuum your house every day or two, as fleas can live in the vacuum cleaner. Vacuuming carpets, furniture and curtains will kill adult fleas and their eggs. You should also use a brush attachment to get rid of any larvae you see on the carpet.
[Don’t forget about] vacuuming pet beds and cushions where your pet sleeps.
Sprinkle some salt in the carpet.
Sprinkle some salt in the carpet.
- How much: You only need a small amount of salt (one tablespoon).
- How to apply: Sprinkle it evenly over the affected area, using a different color than your carpet so you can see it more easily.
- How long to let it sit: Leave the salt on for 24 hours and then vacuum up what’s left. If you have sensitive skin or pets, consider wearing gloves while applying the salt and avoid vacuuming right away after applying—vacuum up all loose dirt first, then go back with a brush attachment on your vacuum to get rid of any leftover flea eggs or larvae that may still be hiding out there in their cocoons.
Do I need to repeat this process? Probably not—as long as you’ve gotten rid of most fleas by following these steps!
Baking soda is a powerful natural flea killer.
Baking soda is a powerful natural flea killer. It works by dehydrating fleas and their eggs, killing both. To create a baking soda mix for carpet:
- Mix 1 cup of borax with 3 cups of baking soda in a plastic container
- Sprinkle the mixture onto your carpet and allow it to sit for at least 24 hours (the longer, the better)
- Vacuum up the mixture after this time period has elapsed
Use eucalyptus spray around your house to repel fleas.
Eucalyptus oil is a natural flea repellent, and you can create your own eucalyptus spray to keep these pesky pests away from your home. You don’t need expensive or complicated ingredients for this spray; just mix together some water and eucalyptus oil.
Then use the mixture by spraying it around the house to discourage fleas from living there. Make sure not to spray directly on your pets; if they have sensitive skin or allergies, this could cause problems for them instead of helping them! Eucalyptus oil can also be toxic to some animals (including cats), so take care when using it around pets instead of using natural methods like citronella candles or essential oils that are safe for everyone involved in keeping fleas out of the house without harming anyone else’s health or well-being
Create a citrus spray.
To create your own citrus spray, you will need to add orange or lemon peels to boiling water. Let the mixture cool and then spray it in areas where you have seen fleas. Do not use this mixture on animals as it could cause damage to their skin.
Keep your home clean to avoid fleas
A clean home is the best way to keep fleas out of your house. Keeping your home clean means removing any clutter and properly disposing of garbage, as well as vacuuming and dusting regularly. If you have pets in your house, you should also be sure they stay on flea medication throughout the year.
This may seem like a lot of work, but it’s worth it when you consider how much easier it will be to get rid of any flea infestation once one appears if there aren’t too many hiding places for them in your house (or garden).
