Natural Ways Of Getting Rid Of Fleas

Flea can be a big problem if you have pets at your home. Fleas carry diseases, and can also lead to build skin irritation and allergy. You might experience other problems as well if you do not eliminate these parasites from your pets or your house. That is why it is better to get rid of fleas in home and pets before they grow large in number. Since there are many different ways to get rid of fleas, you need to choose the best way that suits your lifestyle the most. Pet fleas, unlike human fleas, live on the host animals all day long which makes getting rid of them more difficult. There are lots of household remedies for getting rid of fleas. These natural methods usually involve using home-made recipes to repel fleas and get rid of them.

Natural Ways Of Getting Rid Of Fleas

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a natural flea repellent that you can use to kill fleas on your dog. Fleas are not fans of the smell of vinegar, and will stay away from it.

To use apple cider vinegar as a flea repellent:

  • Pour some apple cider vinegar into a spray bottle.
  • Spray your dog with the mixture every day until all of the fleas are gone.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a natural insect repellent and flea killer. It has anti-inflammatory properties, which helps to kill the fleas, ticks, and their eggs.

Also, coconut oil contains high amounts of lauric acid and capric acid which are two fatty acids that help to destroy the life cycle of these parasites.

You can apply it directly on your skin or use it on your dog’s fur coat in order to get rid of these pesky insects that are causing so much distress in your household.

Neem Oil

Another natural pesticide is neem oil. This plant oil has been used for centuries to control pests and insects, including fleas, ticks, bedbugs, lice and mosquitoes. Neem oil is a safe alternative to chemical pesticides because it will not harm humans or pets when used correctly.

Neem seed kernel extract can also be used for flea control on dogs and cats by adding 1 teaspoon of the extract to 2 tablespoons of carrier oil (such as coconut or almond) then massaging this mixture into your pet’s fur once a week or as needed until the fleas are gone

Clove Oil

Clove oil is an effective natural remedy for fleas. It can be used in a spray to kill and repel fleas, in addition to being safe for humans and pets.

To make your own flea spray, first boil five cloves in one cup of water for about 10 minutes or until the water turns brownish-red; then strain it through cheesecloth or another strainer. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin and 5 drops of lavender essential oil (optional), then mix well with a spoon or spatula until they are fully combined. Pour into a clean glass spray bottle and shake before each use so that all ingredients are mixed well together.

To apply this homemade liquid spray on your pets’ fur, rub gently over their body after bathing them so that they will smell fresh without any greasy feeling left behind like some commercial brands may have caused by using too much emollient ingredients such as mineral oil, lanolin alcohols (lanolin alcohol), C12–15 alkyl benzoate (paraffinum liquidum), polybutene etcetera which may cause allergic reactions if inhaled too much by our furry friends!

You can also sprinkle some clove powder directly onto carpets where fleas might live under furniture legs etcetera where these pests thrive best during summer months when temperatures reach above 100 degrees Fahrenheit which could potentially cause serious damage if not treated soon enough due to dehydration caused by heavy sweating caused by high humidity levels near beaches where many people prefer visiting during summer breaks from work!

Lemongrass Oil

Lemongrass oil is a natural flea repellent, and it provides many other benefits as well. Lemongrass oil can be used on dogs, cats and in the house. You can also use it on your kid’s bedding and clothing to ward off fleas from them too! Lemongrass has a strong lemon scent that many people enjoy smelling when they’re outside.

Lemongrass oil is an all-natural product that is safe for your children or pets to use around them because there are no harmful chemicals in this product like with other pesticides that kill insects such as fleas.

Salt

If you have fleas in your home, salt is one of the best natural ways to get rid of them. By sprinkling it on carpets and floors, you can kill adult fleas and larvae.

To begin, vacuum up as much of the salt as possible from your floors and carpets. Then leave it for several hours to work its magic before vacuuming up again. This will get rid of any remaining fleas that were not killed by the salt but who may have burrowed into the carpet or flooring instead of dying right away because they were so dehydrated by the water in their bodies being drawn out by the salt crystals (which is how salt kills insects).

There are several natural ways to get rid of fleas!

Fleas are a common problem for many pet owners. There are several natural ways to get rid of fleas that don’t harm your pet or the environment, including neem oil, lemongrass oil, clove oil, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar.
