Stick to an all-natural flea-killing recipe such as one made from Borax and salt.
Things You Will Need
-
Vacuum every room infested with fleas. Place the vacuum cleaner bag in a sealed garbage bag and set in an outdoor trash can.
-
Combine 1/2 lb. of refined salt and 1/2 lb. of Borax in a bucket. For larger areas, simply use equal parts of salt and Borax.
-
Sprinkle a light coating of the Borax/salt mixture over the floor. The fleas will crawl over the mixture, which will pierce their exoskeletons and cause death from dehydration.
-
Wait 12 hours and vacuum up the dead fleas along with the Borax/salt mixture. Immediately remove the vacuum cleaner bag and put it in a sealed garbage bag. Set the bag in an outdoor trash can.
-
Repeat application two weeks later to kill any new fleas hatching from eggs that were not harmed by the Borax/salt mixture.
