HOW TO GET RID OF OR CONTROL FLEAS IN the YARD OUTSIDE?

Question

I HAVE AN OUTSIDE DOG AND 2 INSIDE DOGS AND THE FLEAS ARE STARTING TO GET BAD HOW CAN I GET RID OF THEM AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE?

Answer 1

mix up some dawn dish liquid in a pump up sprayer and spray it all over yur yard that works or it did for me down in florida

Answer 2

They make flea and tick sprays that you can line your yard with, but they only last for a couple days or until it rains usually. You may want to look into getting a canine flea collar for your dogs (they usually last for about a month, but be careful and read the warnings) and washing them every other week with flea shampoo.

Answer 3

Chemical spray for the yard and the house and carppets and dip for the dogs and then flea and tick treatment on the dogs every month.
None of this will be cheap but it should be done.

Answer 4

Get frontline for the dogs... from the vet. Buy some rock salt and spread in your yard. That will kill them. Also walnut things... when they are green and smelly... those work too. Or you can use a chemical put thats not really good for the environment or the dogs.

Answer 5

Keep your weeds & lawn cut low.

I feed my dogs garlic from early spring to late fall, it's works wonderfully.

Put cedar shavings in their bedding or doghouse it's a natural repellant.

Brush & check your dog daily if possible.

Answer 6

We put Lime all over the yard once a year. You want to do it before it rains or water your yard afterward to help it soak in.

Answer 7

you could try a flea bomb. You have to leave your house for so long, but it does work.
