Fleas are blood sucking parasites that can make your pet’s life miserable. The itching, the biting and the odour are all a pain in the neck (or more precisely, the tail) for dogs and cats. Fleas thrive on blood of animals and humans. The symptoms of fleas-related allergies include redness and inflammation of the skin, hair loss, general irritation and worse yet, high levels of susceptibility to other diseases like tapeworms. Fleas are one of the most irritating and annoying types of household pests. When it comes to fleas, good housekeeping is a key to controlling their population. You can get rid of fleas by using natural methods like home remedies, or by using chemical insecticides. Let us take a look at these options in detail.

Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Fleas In House

Herbal flea spray.

A few drops of lavender, eucalyptus, or lemongrass oil added to a spray bottle filled with water and vinegar makes an effective natural flea killer.

To use: Spray liberally on pet and furniture. Do not use on cats or kittens under 3 months of age; do not spray directly into cat’s eyes or mouth.

DIY flea powder.

Diatomaceous earth is a mineral powder that can be used to kill fleas in your home. It’s safe for pets, humans, and the environment, but it works by destroying the outer layer of insects’ bodies. This causes dehydration and eventual death.

Diatomaceous earth is made up of tiny fossilized remains of algae called diatoms. It’s non-toxic to humans—meaning that it won’t hurt you or your family if you accidentally ingest some—and has many other uses besides getting rid of fleas: it’s effective against roaches and ants too!

To use diatomaceous earth as a remedy against fleas in your home:

• Sprinkle the substance liberally on floors, carpets, and furniture where people walk frequently so that there are no areas left untouched by dusting material (such as carpeting).

Use essential oils.

Essential oils are a great way to naturally get rid of fleas in your home. They can be sprayed on the carpet and furniture, or applied in the form of a homemade flea repellent spray.

Essential oils that repel fleas include rosemary oil, lemon oil, cedar oil, eucalyptus oil and neem oil among others. You can also use catnip or lavender essential oils because they have anti-inflammatory properties which help soothe your pet’s skin while repelling pests like ticks and mosquitoes as well as fleas.

Flea repelling plants.

The best way to get rid of fleas in your house is by using repelling plants. These are plants that will keep the fleas out, so they don’t come in. Not only will they keep them out, but they’ll also repel other insects as well.

Flea repelling plants are easy to find at any garden store and most grocery stores. When you go buy these, make sure you get them from a reputable retailer so that you know your plant is safe for your pets and family members who might be allergic to certain types of plants.

Here’s a list of some of the best ones:

• Marigold
• Lavender
• Lemon BalmNow that we know what kind of plants we need, let’s talk about how exactly to cultivate these beauties!

Baking soda.

Baking soda is a great all-around household cleaner and deodorizer. It can also be used to get rid of carpet fleas, as it helps absorb moisture and clean the carpets at the same time. If you want to use baking soda, sprinkle it on your carpet and let it sit for about an hour. After that time period has elapsed, remove the baking soda by vacuuming or sweeping your floors. Be sure not to leave any residue behind! Keep in mind that this method does not work for flea larvae and other eggs present in your house — they will remain where they are until they hatch out into adult fleas later on in life so make sure that you’re prepared with other methods before using baking soda alone as a means of controlling them now (or else they’ll come back even stronger than ever).

Baking soda works best when applied directly onto an area where there’s some dampness present because this helps keep those bugs away better than if there were no moisture present at all; however, note that when using this method it might take up several days before you see significant results due to how long it takes these little critters’ lifespans (they live anywhere from two weeks up until six months!).

Removing fleas from your house can be done simply and naturally!

Fleas are a nuisance, and they can be very difficult to get rid of. If you have fleas, then you should take steps to prevent them from coming back.

The first step in preventing fleas is to make sure that your home is clean. Fleas like dark places where there is little movement of air, so it’s important that your home has good airflow and light. If you don’t want mosquitoes or other insects in your house either, then consider getting an air purifier or opening up some windows during the day.

Next comes vacuuming! This may seem obvious but most people forget about this simple method in their quest for natural flea removal methods; however just vacuuming once per week will help keep pet hair off the floor which makes it easier for fleas to lay eggs there if any do happen upon their way into our homes after all!

If those two steps weren’t enough then try sprinkling diatomaceous earth (DE) around every corner where pests may hide out (like under couches or beds) as well as along baseboards near windowsills where sunlight might shine through onto these areas causing them not only heat but also attracting insects such as ants who eat away at wood over time leaving behind spaces large enough for bedbugs themselves!
