If fleas have appeared in your apartment or house, it is very important to take immediate action to get rid of these annoying pests. UAportal has prepared effective methods for removing fleas from the home and preventive measures to help avoid infestation in the future.

Vacuum regularly

Vacuum your home thoroughly and frequently, paying special attention to places where fleas can hide: carpets, rugs, furniture upholstery, and pet bedding. This will help get rid of adult fleas, larvae, and eggs from your home.

Use baking soda

Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and flooring, paying special attention to areas where fleas are present. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight, and then vacuum. Baking soda acts as a natural flea repellent and eliminates the odors associated with fleas.

Make a flea spray with your own hands

Mix equal portions of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle and then add a few drops of laundry soap. Shake the bottle well and spray the solution on furniture, pet bedding, and other places where fleas can hide. The vinegar helps repel fleas, and the soap helps kill them.

Use salt

Sprinkle carpets with table or sea salt, paying special attention to the areas with the most fleas. Leave it on for a day or two and then vacuum it up. Salt acts as a dehydrator, which helps to dry and kill fleas.

Take care of your pets regularly

It is important to bathe and groom your pets regularly to kill fleas, their eggs, and flea dirt. In addition, use a flea comb to thoroughly comb your pet's fur. If necessary, consult your veterinarian for safe and effective flea treatments for your pets.

As a reminder, the kitchen often suffers from attacks by fruit flies, midges, and flies. However, there is a way to lure uninvited guests into homemade traps without using store-bought chemical repellent sprays.
