Dawn Dish Detergent: amzn.to/3GQ5iqZ
Dawn and this mixture also kills Boxelder bugs on contact as well as any bug with an exoskeleton. The soap quickly removes the natural oils from the exterior plates and their bodies seize up. Great that someone reposted this. A forgotten marvel!!

Absolutely, I did a video on that as well… Homemade Bug Killer kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5uI2pJuqcrQf84.html
Only problem with Dawn is that cats lick and clean themselves everyday and this is digested. There is a vet on here that offered an organic solution with one lemon, 2 tablespoon of Thyme, and 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

Dawn is not toxic to cats. It would only upset their stomach if they ingested enough of it. Given that you’re using a small amount mixed with water, it shouldn’t be a concern.

It works!! Also great for younger puppies and kittens that you DO NOT put poisonous collars, dips,topical on or medications given orally. I use it on both my dogs who are getting elderly now. You can use it in the bath for them on bathing day. Be careful if your pet has dryer skin and don't use too much or too often.

Does this really work and do you have to apply it all over
You csn also mix apple cider vinegar in with that same solution. I am going through the treatment of the house and cats right now. The solution hot water apple cider vinegar and dawn is a miracle worker. I spray my bed with it, and it kills them fast.
It doesn’t have to be Dawn your looking for detergent with a degreaser. It destroys the exoskeleton of the insect.
thanks man, i tried it and it work. here in my country dont have dawn but others work too coz im using glo dishwashing detergent. many thanks for your info.

Yes, I have heard this works well you can even put a shallow dish under your bed with water and Dawn dishwashing liquid in there and when they jump into the water, they will sink and drown
Pure water has whats called surface tension which can be oberved by the beeding up of water which happens when you wipe water flat across a flat surface. The water wipes flat and then immediately beeds up due to the surface tension water possesses. This same water that has surface tension does not have the same ability to penetrate into anything as well as water that has had a surfactant added to it, which dawn has in it. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water allowing it to lay flat without beeding up. This gives water the ability to penetrate deeper into grime on dishes or the fabric of clothes giving the user a much deeper clean. Water under surface tension has trouble penetrating the small breathing orifices that little bugs like fleas and ants possesses. Adding soaps with high amounts of surfactants in them will reduce this surface tension and allow the water to penetrate the breathing orifices of these small bugs giving us the ability to effectively drown them. Thats why you cant drown ants in rain water, but add a little dawn to it and they die just like the fleas.😈

So do you just leave it on indefinitely, until the pet's next bath, or do you bath him right away to get the soap off, which may be harsh on a pet's skin?

If insects that are so resilient hate Dawn, imagine what it probably does to us as humans
This mixture also kills squash bugs on your garden plants
I put dawn spray on my daughter's dog and she got a bad rash. But I may have had too much soap in the bottle. It killed the fleas right away. But the rash was just as bad.
I can't believe no one asked this yet in the comments but, how long does this typically work for before having to re-apply? Also might want to put in the videos. Great video by the way. You didn't drag it out! Congrats.

Yeah I thought about addressing that, but honestly it’s dependent on the situation… i.e. the degree of infestation to begin with, to the amount of rainfall that washes the solution away. I thought it best to leave it to individual judgment.

I've been dealing with fleas on my cat for a little while now. I have no clue how he got them. He never goes outside. I live in Ohio and it's cold as shit out. And I have no other animals. He's 2 now and I've had him since he was 6-7 weeks. He has never had them until now. I feel so bad for him. I periodically do some research and That's how I found you actually. I came across The dawn dish soap water in the bowl trick video. We have bathed him in dawn a few times and used the the best topical flee meds and now I finally got him a $65 flea collar and been using cap star. Seems to be helping. But, I just found more of that black flea poop. So I'm going to try the trick you said in the other video as well Thanks for the tips

I was using coconut oil on my leg so I wouldn't get bit And I have upgraded to MCT oil for brain health and figured that would work as well and why not on the cats and their kittens it won't hurt them... And probably would even be beneficial to them Also adding a few drops of repellent tea tree oil or lavender or eucalyptus or peppermint oil would even be better... There's probably a recipe out there in Google land

I've been reading a lot about cats and fleas. Cats are very sensitive to many essential oils. So, check that you are using only the ones they can tolerate. Dogs are much different, and can apparently tolerate most ES's. Just wanting to share with you what I've recently learned. Happy Tails to you.

I use a little bit in the bath water and keep the spray bottle handy if they go outside for any length of time. It won't harm their skin,it's gentle. Some breeds can have dryer skin than others and that would become drier if you use too much h. I agree about flea bites being worse but some dogs will scratch like the sickens for dry skin. Also, even if there is not a flea on them but one has bitten them then died, some pets are allergic to the bites.

Look into diatomaceous earth to dust onto their bedding, beneficial nematodes to spray into the yard, wash all clothes and bedding for everyone in hot water, and flea medicine that kills flea larvae and eggs. The soap will only kill adult fleas and won't do anything to flea eggs, the other options mentioned will dry out, burn, or poison the flea eggs and larva. Very sorry for your loss, feeding cats and dogs some cooked boneless chicken will help them recover from a flea infestation if you can afford it.
