that altogether make up the
arsenal for chemical warfare
against fleas. Relax, you still
don’t have to. All you need to
give your flea-ridden dog a flea
bath is some water and, of all
things, some dishwashing liquid.
As you probably figured out by
reading Part One of this
installment, fleas don’t take
being immersed in soapy water
very well, much less when the
suds come as a result of a
generous amount of dishwasher.
Not only will the oils do a
thorough job of killing dog
fleas through suffocation, they
should also keep flea eggs from
sticking to your dog’s skin and
fur.
Make sure that you drown the
fleas in the suds by keeping
your pooch in the water for a
few minutes, and also remember
to rinse well. Using a flea comb
(in itself a natural remedy for
dog fleas) after a bath should
deal with the remaining pests
that were too stubborn to let
go.
3.
Season them with Salt.
One surprisingly potent natural
remedy for dog fleas can be
found in almost every dinner
table or kitchen cupboard: salt.
If fleas are starting to take
over your house, then you (and
the rest of the residents of
flea county) could benefit from
a healthy dose of salt.
Don’t bother emptying an entire
shaker on your next meal,
though. Swallowing mouthfuls of
salt will do nothing to ease
your troubles, and may even
leave a bad taste in your mouth.
What you need to do is to
sprinkle salt all over your
house, especially the areas you
suspect are hotspots for flea
activity. Leave no floor
unsalted.
Not only is
this natural remedy for dog fleas a far
cheaper alternative to chemical products, it
also works faster than some of them. Many
who have tried this method have seen results
in as little as a couple of hours.
And that concludes this installment of the
Home Remedies For Killing Dog Fleas series.
Now that you know how to kill fleas on a
dog, I suggest you get cracking before the
flea problem gets to be too much for you to
handle. |
