Fleas can be irritating and dangerous. They are not only annoying, but they make your dog itchy. You also might notice some scratching marks on the furniture, carpet, or even the bedsheets. The fleas are to blame for all this trouble. Overtime, it affects the health of your dog if you leave the problem unattended. Fleas are pests that can be found on dogs, cats and even humans. When they attack our pets, they cause anemia. Female fleas can lay up to 1,000 eggs in a life span of 2 months. Adult fleas tend to stay close to the pet’s head and neck, the location that is most vulnerable to infections carried by fleas—ticks, tapeworms, mites and cat scratch disease. However, there are many home remedies that kill fleas in your yard without using chemical-based pesticides.

Natural Way To Kill Fleas In Yard

Dust your yard with diatomaceous earth.

• How much diatomaceous earth do you need? The answer depends on the size of your yard and how many fleas are currently living there. For a small yard, one pound of DE will be enough to control the fleas; for larger areas, use two pounds per 1,000 square feet.
• How to apply it: Sprinkle the DE over your lawn so that it covers the grass and soil. You can use a garden hand spreader for this purpose—just make sure that it has not been used with any chemicals in recent months. Alternatively, you can just dump it into a bag and shake it across your lawn like flour coating chicken breasts before baking them in the oven! This method works well if you have no pets because cats will usually avoid eating food covered with DE powder due to its bitter taste (although dogs may still go after whatever gets sprinkled on top).
• Where do I buy? You can purchase diatomaceous earth at most gardening stores or online retailers such as Home Depot or Amazon; they typically come packaged either as bricks or pellets which look similar except one is bigger than another (the latter being easier). Some health food stores may also stock DE products but these tend not sell as well there because people don’t often think about treating flea infestations naturally when shopping for groceries – instead opting for chemical solutions like Frontline Plus instead.”

Spraying your yard will help to kill fleas.

Spraying your yard is another effective way to kill fleas. You can use a sprayer to apply insecticide to the yard and make sure you use an insecticide that is specifically designed to kill fleas. If you don’t have one of these, we recommend using a product called Siphotrol. This insecticide will help control fleas in your yard by killing them on contact and preventing new ones from moving into the area.

When applying a sprayer, make sure that you cover every inch of your property including porches and sidewalks because these are areas where flea eggs may be lurking in cracks or other places outside of your lawn itself (in fact, this is often where people see them first). When applying any type of pesticide or insecticide—especially chemicals not meant specifically for killing specific insects—we always recommend doing so after sunset when there will be no sunlight shining directly down onto the lawn but before sunrise so as not to affect pollinating insects like bees which need sunlight during certain times of day in order for their flowers/honeycombs etc…

Remove debris and clutter from your yard.

You should remove debris and clutter from your yard. This can be a hard task, but it is necessary to help your pets, especially if they have fleas. Clutter in your yard provides more hiding places for the fleas to hide, so if you want to know how to kill fleas in your backyard, then cleaning up their nesting areas and homes are essential components of the process.

Spray your lawn with an insect growth regulator (IGR).

A natural alternative to chemical treatments is an insect growth regulator, also known as methoprene. This hormonal product will not kill adult fleas but it will sterilize them and prevent egg production. IGRs are usually used to control all stages of insect development, including larvae and pupae in addition to adult insects. It can be mixed into the soil or sprayed on plants that make up your lawn. IGR products are available in granule form or as a liquid spray so you should choose one based on your preferred application method and the size of your yard.

Pull up all mulch from your flower beds and replace it with sand or river rock.

• Pull up all mulch from your flower beds and replace it with sand or river rock. This will help to eliminate fleas by eliminating their eggs and larvae, which are often found in the ground.
• Dispose of the mulch and vacuum the area regularly to eliminate eggs and flea larvae left behind by adult fleas that you may have missed during your first cleaning session

Vacuum regularly to eliminate eggs and flea larvae.

• Vacuum carpets, upholstery, pet bedding and corners of rooms regularly to eliminate eggs and larvae.
• Vacuum daily to trap fleas before they can lay eggs or hatch new generations.
• Thoroughly vacuum your entire home at least once a week for the first month after you’ve started treatment with a flea medicine or insecticide spray around your yard to clear out any adult fleas that may have migrated indoors from outdoors.

The natural way will take time, but it works well if you continue it consistently every day.

The natural way is to use a spray made with black walnut hulls. You can make this spray yourself by crushing the black walnut hulls and mixing them with water or another liquid like alcohol or vinegar. Add this mixture to your yard regularly over a period of several weeks until all the fleas are gone.
