Fleas are a common and pesky problem for many pet owners. Did you know that your pets can even pass on fleas to you? They are most likely to get infested through direct physical contact with cats, dogs and other furry animals. Yet this does not mean that you cannot take the matter into your own hands and end the flea problem yourself. Today, we want to talk about how to get rid of fleas on cats naturally (and the same guidelines can be applied to dogs). There are several proven methods of getting rid of fleas on cats completely, efficiently, and safely. Some products are not safe for use on humans. You will know what is safe to use after reading this article.
Naturally Rid Fleas
Introduction
When you’re looking for a product that doesn’t contain chemicals, you’ll find many flea treatments and home remedies. However, few of these products are actually effective against fleas. A few natural remedies may kill the fleas, but others only treat the symptoms of infestation. Here’s an overview of some commonly used natural remedies for treating flea bites and their effectiveness:
Make a natural flea spray.
- Pour a small amount of water into a spray bottle.
- Mix in 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and 20 drops of peppermint essential oil (or lavender, cedarwood, or eucalyptus).
- Shake well before using and then spray on your pet’s coat as often as needed to keep fleas away from them
Make a cinnamon flea repellent.
It’s important to remember that cinnamon is good for dogs (especially when it comes to digestion), but you should always check with your vet before administering any home remedies.
Cinnamon is a natural flea repellent, and the smell can help deter them from your dog. You can also mix cinnamon with water or water and vinegar to make a spray that will keep fleas away while leaving your home smelling fresh.
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, this spice has anti-inflammatory properties as well as antioxidant effects. It also has antibacterial benefits, which makes it useful for treating infections caused by bacteria like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
Use citrus to repel fleas.
To repel fleas, you can use citrus. The smell is bitter to fleas, and they don’t like it. You can use fresh citrus fruit—lemon juice, orange peel, and lime juice are all good choices. But be careful not to use the essential oil of any kind of citrus plant around your cat; the oils are toxic for them!
Try cedar oil.
If you have a dog, try applying cedar oil to the back of its neck. This is a natural flea repellent and should keep your furry friend free from fleas for some time. If you have a cat, apply it to the back of their neck as well.
Wash your dog’s bedding.
Wash your dog’s bedding. Fleas will die if you wash your dog’s bedding in hot water and dry it on high heat for at least 20 minutes. If you use a flea comb before washing, you can kill both adults and larvae in one step. Place the items outside to dry if possible; sunlight helps sterilize them even more effectively than an electric dryer.
Clean any pet beds that can be removed from their frames and washed on gentle cycle with laundry detergent, then air-dry or tumble-dry on low heat setting before replacing into frame again.
Sprinkle your carpets and floors with Borax.
Borax is a natural mineral that has been used as a pesticide for years. The EPA considers borax to be one of the safest pesticides available, so it’s safe to use around children and pets. The most common brand of borax on the market is 20 Mule Team Borax, which can be found at most grocery stores or hardware stores in your area. If you have any questions about using this product around your home and family, check with your local pharmacist for more information about how much would be too much for children or pets who are particularly sensitive to chemicals in general (or if you’re pregnant).
Vacuum more often.
Vacuum more often.
If you’re not vacuuming regularly, you are missing out on a great opportunity to rid your home of fleas and their eggs. Vacuuming will help you to remove fleas from the carpet, but it’s also important to vacuum other surfaces like furniture and pet bedding.
When it comes to vacuuming your pets themselves, be sure that they are healthy before doing so. This means making sure that they have been treated for any external parasites (like ticks), or internal ones (like worms). If your pet is already sick or has underlying health problems like allergies or asthma, then it may not be safe for them to go through this process due to risk of further infection or triggering an asthma attack.
Avoid walking in tall grass or wooded areas.
Avoid walking in tall grass or wooded areas.
Fleas are generally found on the host animal, which means that if you want to keep them away from your dog, you’ll need to avoid taking him into places where the fleas can jump off of the ground and onto his fur. This means avoiding walking through tall grass and wooded areas. If this isn’t possible due to your schedule, it’s best to take extra care when grooming or playing with your pup in these locations.
Consider giving your pet Brewers Yeast.
For the dog owner who is looking for a natural way to repel fleas, Brewers Yeast might be the answer. Breweries Yeast is a natural source of B vitamins, which help in your pet’s overall health and well-being. It can also be found at most pet stores and some grocery stores as well.
Brewers Yeast has been used for years to help rid your dog or cat from fleas, but it is important to note that it should not be given directly to cats because they are sensitive to B vitamins (Brewers Yeat contains high amounts of niacin). If you think your cat may have an allergy reaction after using Brewers Yeat please contact your veterinarian immediately!
This is how you naturally get rid of those pesky fleas!
- A natural remedy for fleas is to use an essential oil blend, like tea tree oil. You can buy this at the store, or if you have the time, you can just make it yourself! To do this, take 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oils and mix them into a spray bottle with water (10% to 20% concentration).
- The safest way to treat your pet for fleas is by using natural remedies. In addition to being great for all animals (especially cats!), they’re also effective in treating fleas and ticks while being gentle on their bodies. This means that no harsh chemicals will be used on them—they won’t get irritated skin or irritated eyes when applying these products!
Conclusion
In conclusion, flea-bitten pets are not fun, but there are plenty of ways to get rid of them. By using one or more methods that work best for your family’s situation, you can help your pets feel better and keep your home safe from future infestation.
