Fleas can be a nightmare for both pets and homeowners. Thankfully, there are natural and effective remedies that can eliminate them without harsh chemicals. Here’s a breakdown of the most powerful ingredients and how to use them.

1. Baking Soda + Salt (for Carpets and Rugs)

• Why it works: Dehydrates fleas and their eggs.
• How to use: Mix equal parts of baking soda and salt. Sprinkle it generously on carpets and fabric surfaces. Leave it for 24–48 hours, then vacuum thoroughly.

2. Dish Soap Trap (for Adult Fleas)

• Why it works: The thick soap breaks the surface tension of water, trapping fleas.
• How to use: Fill a shallow dish with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Place a candle or lamp near it overnight—fleas jump toward the light and drown.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar Spray (for Pets and Home)

• Why it works: Makes your pet’s skin less appealing to fleas.
• How to use: Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with 1 part water in a spray bottle. Lightly mist your pet’s fur (avoid eyes and open wounds) or use it on pet bedding.

4. Lemon Spray (for Furniture and Floors)

• Why it works: Natural citrus oil repels fleas.
• How to use: Slice a lemon and steep it in hot water overnight. Pour into a spray bottle and apply to infested areas.

5. Regular Grooming & Bathing

• Use a flea comb and bathe pets weekly with mild dish soap or a vet-approved natural flea shampoo.

Final Tip:

Vacuum daily during flea outbreaks, and wash all bedding (pet and human) in hot water weekly.
