Fleas are a health hazard to pets and their owners as well. They can cause several health complications including anemia, parasitic infection and constant itching among others. Flea control becomes even more difficult because fleas are extremely difficult to spot, and they lay hundreds of eggs in their lifespan. This causes exponential growth of fleas.

Flea infestation control can’t be managed by a single product, approach or process. With professional pest control treatments for fleas being too expensive you are left with no choice. You need to make your hands dirty to kick the fleas out.

Here are a few simple yet effective tips which you should include in your regular chores to keep the fleas out of your home.

#1 Use Flea Shampoo to Bathe your Pets

Go for a veterinary doctor approved flea shampoo which is safe and effective for your furry friend. You can bathe your pet twice or even thrice a week if infestation at large scale to keep your pet safe from fleas. Apply the shampoo and let it rinse for at least 10 minutes. After washing, blow dry the fur coat completely to avoid sticking of new fleas to your pet. Repeated shampooing will kill the eggs and larvae and prevent the future breeding of fleas. Also, groom your pet regularly to keep the hair growth in check.

#2 Clean Outdoor Areas

Outdoor areas are the primary source of flea infestation and shouldn’t be ignored at all. Make sure to trim down the height of shrubs and mow the grass regularly to provide minimum surface area for Flea Pest Control. Also, regularly clean dead leaves, dirt, dust and animal poop from the yard.

Declutter lawn, driveway and patio by removing old furniture, wooden blocks, toys and old tools which are gathering dust and attracting fleas. Unwanted things also attract flea-infested animals including raccoons.

#3 Vacuum Regularly and Thoroughly

Make sure to vacuum the house on a regular basis without fail. While vacuuming, do not forget to clean back sides of furniture and also pay special attention to floors present under furniture. Dust borax powder all over the surface and let it sit for some time. Vacuum again to get better flea infestation control. Use a big brush or broom to sweep the powder at every nook and corner of the house. Avoid, staying in the room while borax is present over the floor.

#4 Place a Flea Trap

Setting up a flea trap is an excellent idea to keep flea bugs at bay. Just fill up a dish with soapy water and place at flea prone areas to kill them all. We recommend using dishwashing detergent to make the soapy water more deadly for fleas. You can also fill up a small with soapy water and keep in your sleeping area to have a safe and sound sleep through the night. This is an excellent idea to keep flea control in check however, this flea trap will attract fleas which are already stuck to your pets. There are also plug-in flea traps available in the market which are more effective and easier to use.
