Naturally Get Rid Of Fleas
Introduction
Fleas can be a real pest when they get into your house, especially if you have pets. These parasitic bugs often enter the home through our companion animals, but once inside can spread to those of us with two legs instead of four. And to make matters even more complicated, fleas are notoriously difficult to get rid of! If fleas have recently invaded your home, you know all too well how much time and energy it takes to eliminate them. But before you reach for chemical filled products that may not even work in the first place, consider trying a few natural ways to get rid of fleas in your house and on your pets. Below we’ve compiled some of the best tips and tricks for naturally getting rid of fleas in your home quickly, safely, and effectively:
Give your pet a bath.
You can give your pet a bath.
- Make sure you use a shampoo that will help kill fleas.
- Use lukewarm water, not hot or cold water. Always check the temperature of the water before bathing your pet, and never place any part of their body into warm water first (like with those “hot” tubs) because this could cause burns and blisters on their skin.
- Wash them outside if possible so they don’t get wet in the house when there’s nowhere for their fur to dry off properly afterwards; if indoors is unavoidable, make sure they have access to a drying rack or towel after they’ve dried off from having been washed with shampooed fur before being allowed back inside again (or else risk getting sick). After rinsing thoroughly under running room-temperature faucet water until all suds are gone from both ends where you started washing as well as behind ears/head where soap tends not get rubbed off easily (which would lead one into thinking everything was clean when really it wasn’t), dry them completely off using either paper towels or an old t-shirt before putting clothes back on them again–do not leave them soaking wet inside any fabric other than cotton!
Use a natural flea comb.
You can also use a flea comb to get rid of fleas.
- Where to get one? You can purchase a hand-held or electronic flea comb online, or at your local pet store.
- How do you use it? A hand-held flea comb has rows of teeth that are designed to remove the eggs and adult fleas from the hair of your animal. It’s best not to brush too hard or you could hurt your pet, but if you find that brushing together with water helps loosen up any stubborn particles, then go ahead! An electric model may be better for large dogs that have more fur than humans; this way there’s less chance of missing anything (or having sore fingers). Also consider getting some rubber gloves so that you don’t accidentally touch anything nasty while handling those pesky bugs!
How often should I use one? Check out our section on how often people need their pets bathed: “Dogs Need Baths Too” for more information about appropriate bathing schedules depending on different breeds’ needs (e.g., short-haired vs long-haired).
Clean bedding, carpets and furniture.
- Mix 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water in a large bowl and place it on the floor or carpet. The vinegar will kill any fleas that are present.
- Use a damp mop to pick up both adults and eggs, which are easier to see than adult fleas, then throw them away in the trash can outside of your home after you’ve scrubbed down your floors with natural cleaning solutions (see below).
Use a flea spray.
You can also use a flea spray. These sprays contain natural ingredients that repel pests and kill them on contact, such as rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil and lavender oil. Follow the directions on the label to apply it directly to your pet’s bedding or blankets every few days until all of the fleas are gone. Be sure not to directly spray your pet with this product – only use it in areas where they sleep or frequent often (e.g., under beds).
Make homemade flea killers.
There are a few simple homemade flea killers that you can make with ingredients from your pantry.
- A few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or peppermint (or even eucalyptus!) in a bowl of hot water makes an instant flea spray. Just soak a washcloth in the solution, wring it out, and put the cloth in your vacuum bag or on your dog’s collar for extra protection.
- You can also add 2-4 cups of hot water to 1/4 cup natural soap flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil (you may need to adjust this depending on how large your tub is!). Pour into shallow plastic container and place pet(s) inside; leave them there for 30 minutes before rinsing off thoroughly and letting dry completely outdoors so no one gets wet again!
Alternatively, try using equal parts vinegar and water mixed together with a little bit of dish soap (about 2 teaspoons should do)—this will kill any fleas without harming animals because it breaks down naturally when exposed to air over time so don’t worry about residual buildup being harmful when sprayed directly onto pets’ coats! Just apply liberally all over fur before going outside next time – but keep away from eyes please!”
Create flea traps using light and soap.
To start, you need a lamp and a bowl of soapy water. Next, place the bowl near where you think fleas might be hanging out. Fleas are attracted to light and change in temperature, so exposing your home’s warmest areas to sunlight will also make them more noticeable.
The trap works by attracting the fleas into its middle with the light and then trapping them in the bowl as they try to escape it. The soap acts as an extra deterrent for any other insects that might get caught along with your pesky parasites—and bonus points if they drown!
Natural products can help you banish fleas.
If you love your pet and want to keep them healthy and flea-free, there are several natural products available that can help. In addition to being safe for pets, these methods are also safe for people.
It’s important to note that the safest way to get rid of fleas is with a product that contains only natural ingredients. This is because some chemical pesticides used on dogs like Frontline or Advantage contain chemicals that have been linked to cancer in humans—and, since your dog spends so much time licking themselves after applying those kinds of treatments (which they love), they’re ingesting more of the poison than you would be if you treated yourself with the same product!
Also keep in mind when choosing an alternative treatment method: The best way to prevent fleas from getting on your pet in the first place is by keeping them away from areas where fleas lurk—like parks or outdoor areas where other animals might have left their droppings behind.
