Get Rid of Fleas from Your House, Dogs and Cats using simple Home Remedies.
When it comes to household pests, there is one in particular that can give pet owners nightmares– fleas.
Fleas are definitely a nuisance, as they can cause itchy sensations and even lead to an infection. Anemia is a clear symptom of fleas in a severely infested pet.
Not just pets, if infestations are heavy or other hosts are not available, they can invade a household and its inhabitants.
Thus, it is important to stop the infestation as soon as possible.
Apple Cider Vinegar :- Apple cider vinegar is an effective natural remedy to control a flea infestation in pets. It will not kill the fleas, but they dislike both the smell and taste, so they avoid hosts that smell like apple cider vinegar.
Liquid Dish Soap :- You can also use liquid dish soap to treat a flea infestation on your pets and around the house as it helps destroy the fleas’ exoskeleton. It is particularly good for young puppies and kittens.
Salt :- Salt is a nonchemical, nontoxic ingredient that can be used safely indoors to combat fleas. It is even safe for pets. As salt is hygroscopic, it attracts moisture and fleas do not like moist places.
Lemon :- Lemon is another natural and effective flea remedy. It can get rid of any existing fleas and kill the eggs that may have been laid.
Borax :- Borax is another effective natural insecticide. It works by desiccating (drying out) the fleas, larvae, pupae and eggs, which ultimately kills them.

I have used flake laundry soap as a way to get rid of fleas off rugs, furniture and all types of flooring. On a weekend you are not entertaining guests. Buy 3 boxes of flake, (not granular) laundry soap per room. shake boxes all over furniture, floors and carpets, any where fleas are. Mush it into the carpets and floors and furniture. Leave it down as long as you can stand it. It will look like it snowed in your house. The fleas eat the soap, die of thirst.
When you are ready to vacuum up the soap, you will notice everywhere you laid out the soap will look cleaner be fresher also.
You will have to do it one more time in about a week to get the babies. but with the adults dead and the babies dead you will have destroyed the flea infestation.
