Fleas suck. I’m sorry you’re here if you have a flea problem. I understand the desperation. I understand the exhaustion. I’ve been there – two times in less than a year. I created this page to have all the natural flea control options that are out there compiled in one place. I wish I would have found this when I was where you are. That’s why I created it. Please share it, and please share it widely.

Thanks it is day 3 and it seems to be working. Some important notes though. About 12 hours after application in noticed an increase in fleas jumping onto my socks. About 24 hours after fleas declined in numbers. 3 days later the only flea I found was over hardwood. Surprised it worked. Another note for application, I found a large broom was the easiest way to spread it. Thanks again, wish I woulda known about this a month ago and avoided a ton of stress.

This by far is thee best tutorial on treatment for carpets. I've been searching for utube for days and I love this one. Took in a stray beautiful kitten just for 5 hours (that was enough- then dropped off kitten to her new home) but the next day my friend calls & says she has fleas! Yikes I have 3 cats & I'm immediately scratching as we're taking. ( That's just how I am) Well long story short I've done the white sock test & dish with Dawn and tea light etc .. nothing. But I did call the vet & we got Credilio (chewable tablets for our 3 cats) I now know that I'm not going to use that again (no side effects) but I want to do natural treatment. So we took all 3 of them a dawn bath and then following week a coconut oil rub. Vacuuming with baking soda & salt every 3 days for carpet & furniture, my homemade lemon spray. Don't for get to treat your vehicles (I had the kitten in the car ride for over 1 1/2 hours from where I had to pick her up. So I used the baking soda & salt in my car as well. I also spray in my car lavender (not in my house cause I hear it's toxic for cats?)
I don't see any evidence of fleas (month later) but I'm still itching? No bite marks, I think I'm just mentally disturbed when I hear or think about little effen creatures once invaded my home, I have post trauma🤣🤣 I wonder if I'm the only one like that? (Btw my husband never felt itchy or anything during all the treatments so why did I??😊)

I've not heard of this before, but will definitely look into this. Unfortunately my cats are no longer with me but they have left me with a legacy of fleas, (not noticeable over the winter months). Only now very visible in the early spring months, obvious from eggs/larvae. My ankles are covered in bite marks. I manage to catch around 10 to 15 per day but I would just love to get rid of them once and for all. Fed up purchasing so called miracle powders for my carpets which clearly don't work. These companies should be fined for selling products that clearly have no effect on this issue.

[pknickerson]

Thank you, I detest putting chemicals on my cats. Thankfully, there have been no fleas in two years, but ticks in spring on my cats is another problem

[joeyblowey]

Absolutely shocked and amazed at how well the salt/baking soda mixture works!!! Especially considering that many sources argue the effectiveness of salt and baking soda. I'm thinking grinding it to a fine powder like this is key but I have no idea why, would you happen to have any information or explanation for why that is?

[Surrealist_]

I am glad you tried food grade diatomaceous earth as well. I will be using salt and baking soda !

[joycerosier]

Thank you I’ve watched 100s of videos I saved a rescue cat she was infested with flees worms 3 MAJOR INFECTIONS Four days in a veterinary Hospital to transfusions and dehydrated but she’s worth it she’s the sweetest can be but yes now I needless to say I have fleas and I’ve had dogs all my life never had a cat so I’m learning all over again but thank you so much I’ve seen so many BS videos it’s nice to see something that actually works God bless

[sshaw]

Since our cats are solely indoors, I knew it was my hubby bringing the fleas in when he would be on the grass for mowing grass etc. I had him try our “for the house flea and tick” Wondercide on his lower pant legs and shoes before going out into the grass to repel them. Well, it worked for the last two summers!!! No more fleas!!! That works for us. We are retired and don’t go out on the grass to play like children do, but if children are sprayed with their bug spray…I wonder if that would help for pets who don’t go outdoors.

[Howard]

Don't forget to apply under couches and chairs, as my 2 cats would frequent those areas & best of all, not poisonous & also will kill ROACHES :-) ;-)

[heloisekarpetas]

How long do you keep the salt and soda mixture in the carpet before hoovering it up? Thanks for the great video. X

I battled fleas in a place I moved into by using very fine Himalayan sea salt sprinkled everywhere after vacuuming. I would leave it on for a few days and we would walk in it and I think that distributed it further into the carpet and floors. Our movement disturbed the eggs so they hatch, so that helps. It was a battle for sure that took many applications. I had to flea comb constantly and I did try Wondercide as a spray on fabrics. I did break down and use a topical because I couldn’t take it….BUT the garlic I may try. Unfortunately I moved from that place and now I am going through it ALL over again. Not easy!!!! I am going to start my new attack on the problem. So much info out there. Thanks for the video. We are in Georgia and it’s peak season here. I have found when living in the country, flea topicals work better. My theory is that in more Urban areas the fleas have been exposed to way more chemical treatments and are more hardy and difficult to treat. Question: what do you do to treat tapeworms from the fleas? Death to all fleas!! Don’t forget about treating for fleas in your vehicles!

I run the salt through a Nutri-bullet and it does a good job at reducing the number of fleas. This is the first time I've heard about using baking powder with it, so I'll make a new batch with some this weekend. My neighbor has a feral cat colony that use my backyard as a sunning area and walkway to other yards, so fighting fleas is pretty much year-round. My cats (indoor only) don't get heavily infested, but my poor dog will get bald spots when they get really bad because he has to go out into the backyard with the ferals. Here's hoping this helps with the fleas. Thanks!

[dawncierelli]

man jenny, what a great video! I have never even heard of such a thing but an awesome thing to know if we ever did get fleas here. since my two are inside, I'm not too worried however you can bring fleas in on the bottom of your shoes. so I'm still learning and I appreciate the video. good job! thanks again

[gbarbecue]

I'll definitely give the garlic capsules a go as I use minced garlic for my chickens to stop red mite so I know that works. Apparently it makes the blood unpalatable. Who knew the little critters were such fussy eaters....

[sundancemom]

Looks like a good fix. I live in the high desert of Southern California. We don’t have fleas or mosquitoes, thankfully.

Thank you so much for your informative video! I just found fleas on all three of my cats five days ago. I am definitely going to try the salt and baking soda mixture for my house! I was starting to get super stressed, so this is super helpful! I do have a question about the garlic. How do you get your cats to eat it in capsule form?

Not sure why you had bad luck with Diatomaceous earth. It is the safest thing that you can put on your carpets as long as it is food grade. It works by drying out the exoskeleton on the flea. You can also get a de-humidifier and put it on 40%, and that will get rid of them also. The use of salt on carpet makes your carpets dry rot.

How long did you leave it in the carpet before vacuuming

[sandysue]

I am using DE on my cats and some in their food. It is a mess on the carpets or their sleeping spaces. I might try the baking soda and salt in the carpets and on the rugs and see how it goes. Both DE and salt/baking soda are inexpensive. I have 8 kitties and 2 do go out in the back yard and over my board fence and into a veritable jungle due to one neighbor who is a real hum dinger and she has junk everywhere, old cars, an old boat and she never mows or cuts a tree limb. So, there is who knows what kinds of varmits over in there! These 2 kitties get so stressed if they cant go outside and over into that jungle. The rest of the cats are in the house but the 2 who go out have brought us all some fleas this summer. 😕 Thanks a bunch for showing us how to do the salt and soda flea killer! Your ragdolls are just beautiful!! ❤

how long do you let the salt and baking powder sit on the carpet before you vacuum the carpets and furniture etc?
