Saturating your house with Dawn dish detergent works good too, and safe. Mix with water in a bug sprayer and spray every where
You included more important and pertinent information into this short video than others with much lengthier ones...good for you. Salt works well - sticks to and tears fleas up; low bowls with soapy water catches and kills fleas; and, lemon juice spray, 1:3 mixture, repels fleas. I'm a veterinary technician who recently had the 'first' flea infestation this past spring in the twenty-five years on the job.

I burned Lavender Incense for a few hours one day and I haven't had a problem since. I also sprayed a mixture of water and citrus. I sprayed literally everywhere along the baseboards and under the couch. I so sprinkled baking soda on the couch and beds.
After over a month of infestation tried everything I’ve seen on KZread one thing caught my eye when I came back from out of town everything had gotten out of hand again. I pulled out my little shark steamer... hands and knees steaming the carpet, tile and hardwoods...it’s amazing, I’ve seen one or two since! I’ve done the whole house pretty big house, then vacuumed twice once before, then steamed, then again like I said it’s amazing they’re gone!!!!!! 😃

The most effective treatment I’ve discovered was this: first treat the outside of your home. Next, treat your pet, I had great success with comfortis. Then, vacuum and apply a product called precore 2000 plus. Vacuum again and spray hot spots in 3 days. Continue vacuuming at least twice a week and on day 14 vacuum again and reapply the spray as you did the first time. That did the trick for me in a mighty way. It’s a tough war, a long and involved process, but you CAN do it. I was able to do this in spite of a very serious knee injury that doesn’t allow me to bend at the knees. So I know you can do it too. Nothing is impossible, some things are just less possible than others.

Diatomaceous Earth in the corners, on the carpet, rubbed into the mattress. 1/2 coconut oil and 1/2 cedarwood oil rubbed onto the pet once a week, vaccum daily (even wood or tile floors). It's 2021, and the fleas in Michigan are insidious. The fabric sprays do work under cushions and under the bed, closet floors, and edges of thresholds around doors. Just some ideas. Thanks for a great video, God bless. :)

Not your cat's fault! You should use a flea comb on the poor thing and dunk it in a clear container with some Ivory or Dawn dish soap...after each pass with the flea comb. Make sure to keep the comb under the water while removing all fleas, before combing again. Don't do this too close to the top of the soapy water and don't fill the container too close to the top...try to leave a couple of inches...so they don't jump right back out....on the suds when you 1st fill it! The soap kills the fleas. It also breaks the surface tension of the water so that they sink. Hope this helps. You might want to speak with a vet to obtain information about the best product to put on your animal. Just call and ask for info...explain your cat's situation. But 1st comb it with the flea comb, as I explained. When you do your laundry...everything should be washed with the hottest water and dried on the hottest setting, to kill all flea eggs!

I rescued a kitten about a month ago, she had come with fleas. I have tried multiple dawn dish soap baths, after reading they die in the dish soap. I have combed almost daily for about 3 weeks. Still combing fleas, doesn't feel like its making a differance. Of course that's with daily vaccumingof thewhole house inside and all around the couch, behind and under everything. Everywhere she hangs out triple cleaned.Even got a vingager based house cleaner. I try to stay on top of it and I am constantly trying to get her to sit still and let me comb her since she hates the comb. Now she associates me with with negative things like bath and combing. Its not always so simple and its extremly frusterating. I have ordered flea medication that was vet reccomned that comes in a pill. Of course Florida is having hurricane so shipments are delayed. Its a very complex frusterating issue.

Thanks for the great tips. Pet store or vets! Better choice than the hardware section of quick-marts.
We just bought a house & a month later we have an infestation. This is even after a professional cleaning before moving in. I’m assuming they came from the yard - we have cats & let them roam out back for the first time a week ago & here we are. They’re house cats & I wish I’d never let them go outside. We got them some Comfortis tablets that helped kill them at first - but a few days later we’re still finding fleas. 😭 live, jumping ones. Not just the half dead, crawling ones. We’ve deep cleaned the house, salted the floors, & used organic spray and DRENCHED our house. We’ve also bathed our cats with dawn dish soap & comb them daily. I REALLY don’t want to resort to toxic pesticides, as I don’t have anywhere to take my cats while the house sits. 😭 I’m getting bit as I type this. I’ve covered myself with bug spray. I’m going crazy. I can’t do this anymore.

EntirelyPets I’m still finding fleas here & there after a professional came & treated my house last week. I understand they have a life cycle. Do you think the ones I’m finding are from last week, just hatched? Whatever they used had a growth inhibitor. The fleas I’m finding are mostly half dead, jittering. I’m finding 6-10 dead fleas a day, where my cats lie & on them when I comb their fur. I’ve found 2-3 jumping fleas this past week (since the pro treatment). I had up to 60 bites on my body last week & the week prior. I now have maybe 2-3. Does this sound like I’m on the right track? I’m continuously cleaning, throwing out the vacuum bag each time I use it, and always doing laundry. Or do you think I should have the pest control come back?
I need to get this stuff my cats have fleas and I see them jumping around the house every day and even before I watched this video I saw one!
Problem is getting better, for my cat I used Sentry Purrscription Plus shampoo from local pet supply store, supposed to be good for 30 days but I bathed her again about a week or so later, was a precaution I was trying to take in case the first wasn't sufficient, no regrets but didn't notice any new fleas, had been worried about what I couldn't see. About a week after second shampoo bought flea drops ( a brand that was an equivalent to Advantage, so good but less $) from pet supply store, I had used the cheaper drops before from a regular store before the flea issue so obviously hadn't worked. The green Hot Shot foggers worked ok (only kills adult fleas) but purple cans for 'bedbugs and fleas' worked much better (purple one kills flea larvae too, not just adult fleas, per label). I did repeat purple foggers again 6-7 days later but also used a spray (in a larger size container than at a regular store) from hardware store to spray under and in between any creases, cushions, or areas in my couch and chairs that the foggers might not have reached. Doing clothes and blankets in hot water seemed to kill fleas and then putting clothes and clean laundry in one of the few unaffected rooms. All of this has still been frustrating but these are some of the experiments that have seemed to help.

The fleas just fell off I couldn't believe it. Now I had tried it without vinegar prior with lots less results. You must RINSE, RINSE,RINSE & RINSE again. Because the process takes all oils from puppies skin uf to dont. 3 baths later she is close to flea free. Now doing it 2 x a week. This removed hundreds of fleas for me. Good luck.

I tried equal parts of apple cider vinegar and bottled lemon juice. I then added about 5 squirts of Dawn. Then I put enough warm water to dilute the mixture. Put my cat in the tub and splashed the solution by my handful and massage/scratched it down in her fur. I didn’t rinse it off and she was a thousand times better. She was so miserable before and would run every where she went like something was chasing her and chewing her back side like crazy. We just couldn’t watch her being so miserable so I just took matters into my own hands and I am so glad I did. She is back to being herself again.
I'm scared my rabbit will catch them... We had a huge infestation in the summer... Tried everything and I guess even a cold winter didn't kill them all as I found out... Edit: when I say tried everything, we washed my bedsheets 3 times, fogged my room and used flea bombs. Also used a heatlamp. Also a tip for killing them is to squirt handwash/handsoap on them.

Dont always blame others who are also victims of this blood sucking menace. Share your experience to new pet owners. Offer suggestions and don't be so holier then thou. This person undoubtly suffered the depression of being overcome and loseing the sweet Furbabies.
I had to find a good flea medication to treat my animals. Treated my house and my car. My dogs go with me everywhere. I used foggers for the inside of the house but they weren't killing the eggs. Make sure the products kill all life stages. Treat all areas your animals use. Wash everything. Want to add another thing- their diet. Change their food. I found kibble with salmon as opposed to chicken, beef or lamb. I took the cat off of it and he got infested with fleas again. He's an indoor cat but escaped for a few minutes. I bought cheaper flea medicine. Changing his food again. Coconut oil helped relieve the itching and got rid of the skin rash. I had to treat the cat a few times.

To know where to priorize you can use the candle (or night light) and soapy water trick to discover where are the fleas in larger amounts. Fleas have a tendency to be more numerous in some places like carpets. Place a night light on every electrical plug of your house with a bowl of soapy water and fleas with drown in it. This will not eliminate fleas completely but you will be able to localize where the fleas are numerous. And treat these places first. Once you have sanitized a room, close the door and do not allow your pets in this room until your home is entirely OK.. In floor cracks, under, in spaces between modings and floors. Steaming has worked well for me and I have not seen any fleas for years. Sorry if this does not work so well for you. Good luck.
Hello, I know that this might be a somewhat I don't know dumb question but how do I really know if I have fleas or ticks in my house? Our neighbor gave us a little puppy about a week ago and We had him in the house and my brother noticed that he was scratching and he checked him and found a flea so my husband took him a bath and found three fleas. I decided to wash everything in hot water and I vacuum every day. And now when my body itches I feel like it's a flea bite. I know it might just be in my head but that's why I wanted to know how do I know for sure if there in my home? Sorry if I am not making sense at all. But I wanted to know because I have little ones and if the smell of either of these sprays are not harmful?
Hi you mentioned vacuum pallets to be thrown in the vacuum bag to prevent any eggs hatching.Well I use the Ovente bagless vacuum.I empty it outside jn a bag then I bring the filter and the vacuum container inside home,putting them in a pail with bleach and dawn soap.I wash them and rinse them with hot water.Then I put item in a bag keeping them inside.Then next day I dry them with the dryer and start the vacuum.Is this correct?Also if it is,where fo I put the vacuum pallets in the bagless vacuum,?Thank you for responding
What if you have a vacuum that does not have a bag?

RNK sounds like they are allergic to fleas. Bring them to the vet to discuss different options. Oftentimes, a steroid injection is needed to decrease the inflammation while the flea medication begins to work.
We had a cat and had to give her away. She has been gone for almost 2 weeks and we had her for about 3 weeks. But we are now realizing she must of had fleas. We have been getting bites and finding them landing on us. Is there anyway to get rid of them faster?

@@amiraridha2726 Fleas will stay as long as there are hosts. They prefer pets but will stick to humans if need be. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Even when your pets are gone, you should take precautions to kill any remaining fleas before they multiply.

You said The fleas lay eggs and then they hatch into fleas within a couple of days, this is wrong. They fall as eggs then they take 2 weeks to hatch into larvy first and then turn into pupper after another week. The eggs can lay dormant months. They don't need moisture just a bit of warmth and to be disturbed.
I got pest control four weeks ago but seems not working
Thank you for the great video! I have tiles and have no carpets and I have fleas plaguing my whole apartment, mattress and vinyl sofa included. Should I just get a powerful steamer since I think it's hotter and probably good for my mattress or should I invest in a normal vacuum cleaner because I don't have rugs? Thank you.

Spray bleach and steam mop your floor, that kills them. But make sure you vacuum really good before you mop and vacuum everyday for at least a month
I am having a real flea problem in my house and am at my wits end on how to get rid of them. When I'm done vacuuming the floor I vacuum up a good bet of salt as that is supposed to be bad news for fleas too.
Fleas climb walls….. I know because they are in my house! They climb and fall on me almost immediately when I go to bed! It’s an absolute nightmare!
Need an answer ASAP, will a pest control companies treatment and spray kill off the fleas?
I'm having trouble locating vacuum pellets. Is there any specific brand you recommend?
Or you could just douse you house in petrol and drop a match on it!!! They piss me off, we dont even have pets, our neighbours do.. i get bitten in my bed at night. Drives me nuts.
I can't find the vacuum pellets you place inside your vacuum bag you were talking about....
Siphrosomething...does it have negative effects on kittens, dogs, kids and/or adults?
I can't understand why the title is "how to get rid of fleas in your house" but your telling us how fleas travel, and where their eggs go.... A shorter, more direct method would work and possibly get more views. Thanks.

Is this safe to use around the house? Like after it drys is it safe for my cats to come in the room where is it was sprayed?

We do not have pets and some how we have gotten fleas inside of our apt. I am thinking they came from the neighbors pets. I have bites all over my feet and ankles, and I was just bitten on my back today. I have vacuumed and sprayed poison and I have no idea what else to do. I told our apt. office, but i doubt they care because the bug spray person they have doesn't even do that good of a job with regular bug spray.

Hello, I have not had any replies as to whether I can safely spray my cats with a mixture of mouthwash and water. Please I need some sort of answer. The fleas are driving us nuts. help
what if you do not have carpet and what can i use to mop the floor
my dog is on monthly Comfortis tablets, my cat on monthly AdvantageII and i seen a few fleas on my dog when I was rubbing her belly. How would this affect my cat? My entire apartment is carpet (except kitchen and bathroom) and since we are on the second floor I can't always vacuum. another problem is that my vacuum doesn't use vacuum bags, so how do I get rid of eggs when I can't really throw them away like that? Also I'm aware that only 5% of the fleas are actually on the pet and I have removed 5 dead ones so far (probably because of the Comfortis that killed them Ha!). before we had this dog, our cat had a very bad flea infestation. it was so bad you could see them crawling around his face because the apartment we lived in didn't have pest control. we moved since then and the new complex charges $40 a month for pest control and our cat's infestation was nonexistent after that (though we did see a few every now and then for about a month) and now that our dog (that we got two weeks ago) had them I am worried we still had fleas and that she got them from the cat. We can't really afford any flea treatments other than the cat's spot on AdvantageII and the Comfortis Tablets (which are free since her foster works at the vet). I don't think it's a bad infestation, when our cat had them I kept finding them on my arm and in my bed and it was just really nerve wrecking. Our dog seems fine otherwise, most of her scratching is actually from mosquito bites. I'm just nervous because I don't know how many fleas there are and since we live in Austin Texas, there is a huge flea population and I don't know how to keep my pets from getting them again and again. Cat is indoor so he isn't really the source, but I walk my dog a lot so i don't know how to keep them from jumping on her in the first place. just the thought makes me itchy. she mostly sleeps in my room in the corner with my dirty laundry because my scent is probably the strongest there, but I haven't seen any fleas on me. my main fear is that we never actually got rid of the fleas. The last one I seen (and killed with hamd sanitizer) was about a month and a half ago since then i have seen NONE and my cat seems fine but I don't know. I'm only a teenager and my mom refuses to believe that the dog has fleas and doesn't buy the sprays or anything

Aaw i underdtand that fear well i d move if possible if that area really is always THAT flea infested The things you give to your pats will definitely help to kill most of the since they wont live after they bite your pets :) just vacuum every day also the cussions and everything you can hot was on at least a 60 degree cycle you wash it if you cant wash it hot you can maybe put it in the bathtub and let it soak in boiling water for a minute then wash in the machine on a 30 or 40 degree cycle ooor you just simply iron your stuff since the heat will definitely kill all stages. Things that cant be washed at all need to go in the freezer for a few days or a week and thats it :)
