There are many flea treatment methods that you can use to kill fleas on dogs. Some are risky and some are effective. The key is finding the right solution for your pet and also your home. A flea is a small wingless insect that secretes an oily substance on the skin of their host. They are related to mosquitos and roaches. Their biting can lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions and transmission of tapeworms and other parasites. Since they can infest your home and bite humans, killing fleas naturally in the house is necessary .

Natural Ways To Kill Fleas

Use Essential Oils

Essential oils are natural remedies for killing fleas. They’re more effective than chemical pesticides and can be used safely on both people and pets.

Lemon oil is a great option to kill fleas because it’s an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory agent that also repels insects. Lavender oil has insecticidal properties and can help reduce allergic reactions to biting insects such as fleas. Peppermint oil is known for its ability to repel mosquitoes, ticks, flies and other insects while thyme oil contains thymol which has been shown in some studies to have repellent effects against ticks and mites that carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Eucalyptus oil contains cineole which acts as an insecticide while cedarwood’s aromatic qualities prevent the growth of bacteria inside your home as well as ward off pests like mosquitoes or fleas lurking around outside!

Herbal Powder

Herbal powder is a flea treatment option that you can make at home. It’s often used on carpet and bedding, as well as in a bath to kill fleas on your pet. However, it should be noted that this may be poisonous to cats because cats are more sensitive than other animals when it comes to chemicals. A recipe for herbal powder is below:

• 50 parts powdered eucalyptus leaves (10-12 oz)
• 10 parts dried mint leaves (2 oz)
• 20 parts cedar chips (4 oz)

Rosemary Wash

• Mix 1 cup rosemary oil and 1 cup distilled water.
• Add in ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (ACV).
• Pour into a spray bottle, shake well and spray all over your pet’s fur, avoiding their eyes. Depending on the size of your dog or cat, you may need to dilute the mixture with more water.
• Spray your pet’s bedding with this mixture as well as their crate if they sleep there overnight. You can also mix up a batch at night and put it in their water bowl before going to bed. Make sure that you thoroughly wash off any excess liquid that makes its way onto the floor so that it doesn’t get tracked around inside!

Salt Water

Salt Water

Salt water has been used for centuries to kill fleas, and it’s still an effective way to get rid of these pesky pests. The salt will draw the water out of the fleas, dehydrating them and causing them to die. However, if you have a puppy or kitten, don’t use salt water on them—because they’ll lick themselves clean afterward! Also keep in mind that this method won’t work on heavily soiled carpets or those with a latex backing.

Lemons & Limes

You can use citrus fruits like lemon and lime to kill fleas.

It’s not just the juice, but the peel too!

You can use them in a number of ways:

• Grind them down to make a powder. This can be sprinkled on your pet’s bedding or bed itself, as well as around their living space (don’t put it where they will eat it though!). Alternatively, you can rub the fruit directly onto your pet’s fur.
• Rubbing an orange peel over your skin will help repel fleas as well!

Garlic

Garlic is a natural flea repellent.

In order to use garlic as a natural flea repellent, you will need to crush some cloves of garlic and apply them directly to your dog’s skin. You should be careful not to make any cuts on your dog or yourself when crushing the garlic because it can cause burning sensations and redness around where it was applied.

White Vinegar

White vinegar can be used in a variety of ways. The most effective way to use white vinegar is to spray it on the carpet and furniture where fleas are likely to frequent. Spray your animal with this solution before you take them outside for a walk, as the fleas will die immediately if they come in contact with sprayed areas. If you have pets inside your home, try spraying them directly instead of using foggers or other pesticides. This method is more effective than other pesticide methods because it doesn’t harm people or pets but still kills fleas quickly and effectively

Apple Cider Vinegar

Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray your dog or cat’s fur with the solution, and let it sit on their skin for a few minutes before rinsing off. You can also spray the area where you think fleas are hiding; this will help keep them away from your pet when they come in contact with it. If you’re planning to use this as an all-purpose flea repellent, mix a 1:1 ratio of apple cider vinegar to water, and fill up an empty spray bottle with it so that you have something ready whenever needed! This mixture can be used on plants as well as grass, which is great if there are any pesky bugs hanging around outside your home looking for new places to live (or die).

Natural ways to kill fleas

• Flea comb. The problem with fleas is that they can reproduce at an astonishing rate, and a single female can lay up to 100 eggs per day. In order for this method to work, you need to give yourself plenty of time: it takes about three weeks for the eggs to hatch into larvae, which will then take another two weeks before they become adults.
• Salt water bath: The salt water bath is best used on pets with short hair or those that don’t like taking baths in general—though some dogs will love it! Use only one cup of salt per gallon of water and soak your pet’s body for 15 minutes once every week (you can also bathe his feet separately). This method should kill both adult insects as well as their larvae in addition to preventing any further infestations from taking place over the next few months (or longer if necessary).
