Let's talk Fleas!
Just what are these pesky fleas? Fleas are an insects, they are wingless, with mouth parts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood.
There are several things you can do to try and rid your house of these pesky fleas .Someone told me once that if you put a bowl of dish liquid under a night light it will attract the fleas and they will jump in it and die ( False)
" This method does not work" well it didn't for me.
First things first, you want to bath the animal in dish liquid ( I've heard of using may brands like dawn,joy ect.).
Truth is any dish liquid will work all you have to do is lather up your pet with the dish liquid and leave it on them for at least 5 minutes ( this will suffocate the fleas on your animal) then rinse off pet making sure not to get in their eye it will irritate them.) Now I've heard this alone will not do it? there are eggs also. So you want to get a good flea comb and after bathing, comb out your pet really good with a flea comb. Repeat this process as needed.
Second thing to do is if you have carpets you want to sprinkle any one of these items on carpet ( Borax,Tide, or plain old salt mixed with baking soda)leave on your carpet for at least 2 hours this will also suffocate the fleas in carpet. "Note make sure carpet is not damp or you will have white residue left over on carpet"
Third and last thing pet bedding this I have used rubbing alcohol and purchased a spray bottle. But other people say that vinegar has worked mixed with water. So the choice is really yours as to what you may like better. " Vinegar also acts a room freshener after the initiation smell disappears". Just spray the bedding with mixture of your choice and let it dry. {Note: Alcohol is used full strength}
I Really hope this information has been helpful to you.
