By Coleen Torres


Fleas are becoming a nuisance to human beings and to animals nowadays.They are cause irritation to human skin and animals. They seem to have invaded the world.They seem to be becoming resistant to chemicals produced by scientists. To eliminate the ever growing population of these creatures in our homes especially during the flea season we should come up with is natural flea control methods aimed at providing harmless and reliable means of eliminating fleas.

Fleas are mostly found on pets and breed in moist areas around our homes such as on the floors, cracks and walls. They have an extraordinary capability to live in the house for up to two years. Within this long period of time, they lay eggs that gradually grow in to larvae and then adults and the cycle is perpetuated leading to an overwhelming number of them. When chemicals known to deal a major blow on the are applied, they only manage to suppress and kill adult fleas living the eggs intact. This makes eradication of these animals virtually impossible.

A major step towards the control of these animals is by ensuring the hygiene of the pets. Give your pet a regular bath using soapy water which is unbearable to fleas. To get them from the fur of your pet, regularly brush your pet. This significantly reduces the possibility of your pet having any flea infestation.

A proper diet boosts the immune system of your pet. It significantly reduces the many unwanted effects that these parasites might have on your pet. It is rare for fleas to attack animals that are clean and healthy.

Ensuring that you pet has good health, a diet that has all the nutrients and has a good hygiene followed by regular physical exercise are very simple and inexpensive ways guaranteeing the well being of pets by keeping fleas away.

Traps could also be set to incarcerate and decrease the fleas in our homes. Soapy water placed where the living creatures are prone to be and adding a night light over the dish should do the work. These organisms get attracted to warm light so they will tend to get into the dish containing the soapy water. Being allergic to soapy water kills them

To get rid of the eggs hiding in some points in the house vacuuming can be done. It aids in destroying even the eggs around. Used as a medium to speed up the destruction during vacuum cleaning is salt. After vacuuming ensure the bag is there after emptied and the contents burned to prevent the fleas from swarming back into the house.

Finally, diatomaceous which is manufactured from natural substances, ought to be applied on animals(their fur) or scattered in the areas fleas are likely to be found. This product is absolutely lethal to these creatures but is relatively less harmless not only to humans but pets as well.
