How do you get rid of fleas in your house?

Answer 1

I have had that problem before and salt works because it dehydrates them. Put it on your floors, mattresses, under couch cusions and everywhere!

Answer 2

It's a multi-step process that involves treating your home, your pets, and any other areas where they spend time. All areas must be treated, such as bedding (both inside and outside). Don't forget your car or truck.

Before you use any product , PLEASE READ THE LABEL and instructions. Some products are not to be used directly on the pet. Others can be applied safely on adult dogs, but can be deadly if used on cats, puppies, or kittens.

Try the link below for chemical-free products. There are businesses in my area that will come to your home, apply Fleabusters for you and if you see fleas again, may retreat your your home for free. Call and ask about the guarantee program. If you're interested. The last time I checked, there were discounts and free shipping available for some DIY items. Full disclosure- I am not employed by, nor do I sell any Fleabuster products. My comments echo those of friends who have purchased the service.
Your local pest exterminator may provide this service as well.

Answer 3

Call a professional exterminator, and get your pet out of the house and don't bring it back in for a days afterwards.

I had fleas in a house in NC, and every time I tried the bombs, using twice as many as required, I would come home to find them running laps on the newspapers the bombs were placed on, snorting up the leftover chemicals.

An easy way is to get a pie pan with soapy water and set it on the floor. Point a lamp at the water and the fleas will jump into the pan of water. The liquid soap will keep them from being able to get out.
