Rosemary
Rosemary is an organic flea repellant. It is great for using on your pets or treating mild infestations. To use rosemary as a flea repellant, you will need to create a powder.
Follow these steps for creating and using rosemary herbal flea powder to repel fleas:
· Collect the necessary ingredients: wormwood, fennel, rue, peppermint, and obviously – rosemary.
· Place these ingredients in pestle and mortar and start grinding.
· Sprinkle this powder throughout your house wherever you have noticed any flea activity (such as pet bedding, furniture, window sills, carpets, etc.)
Note that this method does not get rid of the fleas, but helps repel them and keep them away from your household.
Salt
This dehydration agent when combined with regular vacuuming is an excellent way to get rid of adult fleas. To use salt against fleas, sparkle finely ground salt over the carpets across all your rooms.
Let the salt work its magic for 24 to 48 hours, and then vacuum your house thoroughly. Be sure to empty the contents only outside the house in a trash can.
Baking Soda
If you are having a hard time knowing how to get rid of fleas, know that one of the most effective home remedies for flea control is vacuuming. This helps to get rid of fleas by removing them from the fibers of your carpets and furniture. However, there is a way that you can increase the effectiveness of this by using baking soda.
For this flea home remedy to work, spread baking soda along with rugs and furniture, take a stiff brush and rub it into the fabric. After that, vacuum your house completely and empty the contents of the vacuum cleaner into a bag and place it in an outside trash can.
Dish Soap
This flea home remedy involves creating a flea trap with soap and water. All you have to do is fill a plate or bowl with a mixture of warm water and dish soap and place it in the rooms in your house that receive the most flea activity.
Dish soap and water solutions act like glue, trapping fleas due to the high viscosity of the solution. You should repeat this method with a fresh batch each day.
For this home remedy to work fleas effectively, it must be carried out overnight. This is because, for the most part, fleas are nocturnal creatures. It has been suggested that placing a candle near the solution will help this natural flea remedy, but this is not advisable due to the potential fire hazard a bare, unguarded flame can cause.
