I am trying to kill these critters in my home, right now. So I thought I would share. The recipe for death of fleas, not the fleas themselves.
Ingredients
- 1 spray bottle shopping list
- salt shopping list
- water shopping list
- ~ shopping list
- So you fill the spray bottle with salt water and spray down the floor with the salt water that has these little demons in the carpet, leave the room, and close the door. You should do this several times a day. This takes about a month to be totally effective. You may want to put a towel under the door to help keep the fleas from just running into the hallway. Or spray in front of the door well too. Or both spray and towel. Its a natural way to kill them. And, I have a friend who swears by it. He hates using anything that will hurt our environment. shopping list

- Way Number 2 shopping list
- A large flattish bowl, those clear plastic things that go under plants to keep the water from making a big mess works well shopping list
- Warm water shopping list
- salt shopping list
- Desk Lamp shopping list
- ~ shopping list
- You take the bowl, mix up salt water in it. Not to heavy, remember they are attracted to us and we are not heavy salt, but not to light either. Experiment. shopping list
- You want this to be deep enough that they drown in it. And drowning a flea is not easy!! shopping list
- Set it on the floor of the room that you want to un-infest. shopping list
- Plug in the lamp, set it beside the bowl, making sure that the light bulb is just above the water to keep it warm. shopping list
- Make sure the lamp is turned on. shopping list
- Leave setting on the floor as long as needed. The fleas just jump into the salt water. Again this could take awhile to do the full job. Change out the water when too many of the little critters are in it. I think my friend changes it at least once a day. shopping list
- ~ shopping list
- Yet another friend offered this suggestion: shopping list
- The same thing with the lamp and a low bowl of water. shopping list
- But he adds a touch of dawn soap to the water. He said that the fleas can swim out of the salt water but the dawn catches them and they can not get out. shopping list
- ~ shopping list
- He also had another interesting suggestion: shopping list
- He said to add about 6 to 8 drops of apple cider to you pets 8 ounces of water. Make sure it is the only water they drink. shopping list
- After about 6 weeks their skin is more acidic and fleas do not like that so they will not be on them, ie no biting our babies!!! shopping list

- Buy Food Grade diatomaceous earth ..look it up! It kills Spiders, Fleas, Roaches, Mites and is not harmful to children or pets when eaten...GREATTTT STUFF shopping list
How to make it
- The problem for me is that I have 3 cats and this is not working as well as I would like. Both of these take time and patience. My friend has great luck with this. Of course there is just him and his one cat in his house, no kids running through rooms and tipping stuff over.
