Question

I need a natural way to kill fleas in my house and yard?

Answer 1

There are many chemicals designed to kill fleas.  The biggest advice: don't overdo it. Your pet doesn't need to be inundated with a variety of chemical products - exposure to one is probably enough. The best way to be able to use multiple products is to cordon off your pet. How do you do this? First, get a flea medicine of some kind. Apply this directly to the pet - it's the chemical designed to be exposed to them simply because it's medicine. Then, use  sprays or other pesticides in the yard or parts of the house that your pet hangs out in.  Flea bombs are good for the house, and there are many products designed specifically for the yard. To cut down on the pesticides your pet is exposed to, try to keep them away from the affected areas until it's had time to disperse.

You can also try many natural, chemical-free methods of killing fleas. These include soil designed to make tiny cuts and thus dehydrating the fleas to death, vacuuming them (it won't kill them, but you can put part of a flea collar into the bag and get rid of them), or washing clothing and bedding in hot water. All of these can help, but it is very difficult to wholly eradicate a flea infestation with them.
