light it on fire
There is no dependable method that does not involve chemicals. All chemicals however, are not created equal. The best I’ve ever found is Raid Fumigator.
If you’re absolutely determined to not use chemicals, invite all your friends who own white pets, to bring their pets over for a party. They pets will attract the fleas and carry them off. As an added bonus, this method will get rid of most of your friends too…
u mmmmmm…..ill have to get bak on you wit dat 1
I’ve had good luck with Eucolyptus plants scattered under the furniture…They hate the smell…
there is flea powder that you can use and it wont hurt your things and it is safe even if you have animals
twenty mule team. or boric acid. put a banana peel on the floor and sprinkle the boric acid around it won’t hurt the carpet or the pets,
Sprinkle plain table salt all over the carpet and let it sit for 72 hours, then vacuum up. Make sure to empty out the vacuum cleaner bag. The salt gets on the fleas legs, and they eat the salt grains to get it off. Then the salt dessicates the fleas. Works even better if you use a mixture of salt and borax, but if you have kids or pets, don’t use the borax.
Vacuum the floor. Sprinkle Twenty Mule Team Borax (the laundry additive) on the carpet. Repeat this everytime you vacuum for at least a couple of weeks. The borax in the product will kill the fleas and as the eggs hatch, it will kill them too.
your going to have to rip out all the carpet for starters, and if your furniture is fabric its gonna have to ga too. Sorry but there is no way to gat rid of them once an infestation has occured.
put flea and tick killer in your yard. after this put lime in the yard. fleas and ticks don’t like lime they will not cross it. this can help eliminated them getting in the house.
get a flea collar and put it in your vaccumn cleaner cannister. when you vaccumn you will vaccumn up the fleas and kill them.
Fleas do not like lavender
there is a book starts with a number something 999 ways to naturaly get rid of pest
Buy a dog. The fleas will all go on the dog. Sell the dog. The fleas are gone.
Ask them really, really nicely to leave.
Or, put lots of stray dogs outside the house.
moth balls
if its really bad i am of the opinion you will probably have to reallly clean up the place and get it professionally sprayed a couple of times… the more the valuables are out of the way of the sprayer the more effective it will be.
In Texas I use a non-toxic powder called ‘Flea Away’ purchased from Whole Foods Market. It uses substances from the earth and suffocates the fleas. You can use it on cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies. Seems to work for me, good luck.
