Before you stress over the fleas on your pets and in your houses, we’d like to tell you that there are ways to effectively get rid of these icky little pests quickly! And so we’ve gathered together a list of ways you can use to eliminate the presence of these pests in your house.
Rid Your House Of Fleas
Set Up Traps
Adult fleas are easily attracted to several things and one of those things is light. You can use this to your advantage. You simply need to mix a few droplets of dishwashing soap with water and then mix these things. Then, simply place this bowl of mixture in the part of your house where you usually find the fleas. After, put the desk lamp very close to the bowl to attract the fleas. This method will drown the fleas eventually.
Use Steam
We all know that steam has a lot of benefits. We’re here to tell you that you can also use steam to eliminate the presence of fleas in your home! If you don’t have one, you can simply rent a heavy-duty house steamer and use this repeatedly in your house, especially on carpets, bed mattresses, boards, and even wallpapers.
The steam off the equipment will eventually kill all fleas even their eggs and larvae. This is very helpful since fleas are much more known to be rampant because of how they produce a high number of eggs in a short period. So getting rid of the eggs is a great way to effectively eliminate flea presence in your home.
Make A Flea Spray
You can simply purchase a flea control spray in any local grocery store. Flea sprays are very effective when it comes to dealing with these little pests. You can use it directly for your pets that have been infested with fleas and you can also use it for home furniture and equipment such as flooring, mattresses, carpets, bedding materials, and the like.
Diatomaceous Earth
You’ve probably heard how this powder is very effective in terms of being used against any type of pests at home – that is including fleas of course. However, you have to remember to get the Food Grade version of this powder to make sure that it is safe for those living in the place and for your pets as well. Simply sprinkle the powder in areas where you see the most presence of fleas. The powder will cause the exoskeletons of the fleas to dry up which will eventually be the cause of their death.
