Table Salt
In areas prone to flea infestations, generously sprinkle table salt and let it sit for a minimum of 24 hours before vacuuming or sweeping. Repeat this process several times a week for thorough flea eradication.
Apple Cider Vinegar
For a natural flea repellent, mix apple cider vinegar with water in a 1:2 ratio (vinegar to water). Apply this solution to carpets, floors, and other surfaces where fleas are likely to thrive. The vinegar’s natural properties help deter fleas effectively.
Vacuum Cleaner
Keep your home flea-free by regularly vacuuming, particularly with UV-equipped models, to target fleas and their eggs. Consistent cleaning is key to preventing recurring infestations.
Borax Powder
Borax powder, a common ingredient in disinfectants and insecticides, is highly effective against fleas. Apply it to infested areas, especially where pets sleep and eat, leave it overnight, and clean thoroughly the next day.
Sugarcane Bagasse
Collect sugarcane bagasse from juice vendors or use leftovers from fresh sugarcane. Place it in flea-infested areas overnight to attract fleas, then burn it the next morning to eliminate them.
Apply these methods individually or in combination to effectively rid your home of fleas. For more flea control tips, feel free to reach out to us.
