Common Household Remedies for Fleas

One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways of killing fleas is to use common household remedies. These include using a vacuum cleaner to suck up fleas and eggs, washing bedding and other fabrics in hot water and using baking soda and salt to dry out fleas.

Vacuum Cleaner - Vacuuming is one of the most effective ways to eliminate fleas from your home. Vacuuming regularly will help to suck up fleas, flea eggs, and their larvae. Be sure to empty the vacuum bag or canister after use to prevent the fleas from escaping back into your home.

Hot Water and Soap - Washing bedding and other fabrics in hot water and soap will kill any fleas that may be present. It is important to use hot water (at least 130°F or 54.4°C) to ensure that the fleas are killed.

Baking Soda and Salt - Sprinkling baking soda and salt on carpets and furniture can help to dry out fleas and their eggs. Leave the baking soda and salt on the carpets and furniture for at least 24 hours before vacuuming it up.

The most common methods include vacuuming, washing bedding and furniture, treating your pet with flea-control products, fogging the house with insecticides, and using natural methods such as diatomaceous earth and essential oils.
