My Experience To Get Rid Of Fleas in pet's housing and Bed With 0 Dollar

Convey to you my experience in getting rid of fleas in carpet and bed:

First of all, we did not discover this until after the spread and as have told you I thought it cockroaches bites, but Stings and insomnia throughout the night was on the rise, and began to show the impact of stinging widely and on whole family's skin, until we found one of them walked over the bed, it was a thunderbolt, and from here we started to search for the rest of the flea army, the resistance and the weapons collection began to prepare for fleas war.

The first thing we have done is to change the external bed sheets for mattresses and leaving it soaked with water for a day or two.

We started to expose all "mattresses of the house" to the sun at peak time, since the time of nine o'clock, to the even time of 2:00 p.m..

The best place is the roof of the house or enclosures for balconies, because the sunlight spreads better there.

After exposing them to the sun for several days, washed all the linens and bedspreads with detergents well and exposed them in the sun to dry.

At the time, vacuum all carpets, mattresses, linens, and even the tablecloths, use Portable Electronic Vacuum Cleaner to draw all dropped fleas and eggs on the mattresses

vacuum is the best way to get rid of fleas in carpet, as the machine get the fleas out of the carpet with their eggs and larvae.

We bring furniture, because the fleas were hiding there also, even if were not in large infestations, but to ensure that the fleas be eliminated permanently everywhere, we exposed them to the sun first then painting them with wood painting, and as the the painting material has a strong smell it may make all the insects run away.

We painted the doors, too, and so was the renewal of full house, no need to buy a new house for now, :)
Cleaning is the best way to get rid of bed fleas, after cleaning and vacuuming, we had did smoking in the room and the apartment using a smoke bomb (flea bomb) from any store or using some incense sticks, such as that used in yoga and meditation, lock the room so well to let the incense smoke heavily deployed in the room.

Every night we are keen to physical hygiene and the use of perfume or scented creams largely, because fleas and bed bugs all troubled by the strong odor and sliding on the body which moisturized with cream.

Fight against fleas in carpet and bed lasted several weeks and ended with a fantastic victory on fleas.

Believe me, we didn't used any special detergents or cleaning companies, all we need is to arming the house against house fleas, natural methods still work.

Get Rid of Fleas in Your House Without Bombing

Probably you're searching for a method to get rid of fleas without bombing by a flea bomb, using harsh chemicals, and to be a cheap method, I can suggest you those three strategies:

1- Using Smoking source other than bombs like incense sticks ( like ones used by Yoga man)
2- using non-smoking method to get rid of fleas in your house: I mean kitchen remedies.
3- using non-chemical methods for fleas: as shocking fleas with electric flea traps, or sticky traps with light source at night.

Remember that: No humidity No Fleas
No bombing and No chemicals in getting rid of fleas is like Pouring water into the air.
Please just accept these facts for now and continue reading>
Please read carefully, I have used this 1 dollar recipe to get rid of fleas without bombing which costs me one third the fleas bombing method.

Why flea bombs does not favored by many people?
Flea bombs have toxic chemicals which released in their home and affect kids and pets breathing.
Flea fogger are a bit costy for one single use in spite of the fact that flea bomb is most extensive flea control method yet.

Is it possible to get rid of them without exterminator or bombing?
You have to save a lot of lives who live with you in your house, I mean your spouse, children, dogs, cats, chicken, etc.
I understand that, the smoking used to kill the fleas in all their life stages as not any other method can do, fumigation does used for mass killing all house insects, although, we can use a integrated recipe to get rid of fleas and save you from chemicals too.

A Golden method to get rid of fleas without bombing:

1 cup of salt
1/2 cup of 20-Mule-Team Borax/baking soda
A clove of fresh garlic
4 spoons of a cheap insecticide (like one called TAT, PT Alpine, or even Frontline/Advantage, insecticide with a growth inhibitor is more effective)
Mix them in a container for patch application.

Salt works well to get rid of fleas in your house, read more about How does salt work to kill fleas?, 
Borax i a very strong natural chemical to dehydrate fleas and kill most stages but we use with a minimal amount to minimize health effect, Read more about How does borax kill fleas?
Baking soda is suitable and effective substitute to the borax.
Garlic is a natural killer poison to fleas but don't add it to the cats food.
Using an insecticide and IGR Insect Growth Regulator is to maximize the lethal effect of home remedies with a minimum healthy effect, remember that salt work as a natural IGR.

Sprinkle a handful of salt-borax-insecticide recipe along the passages between the rooms and along the bottom side of walls, as fleas can be dehydrated by salty mixture sprinkled everywhere, larva and pupae are most effective than adults, as washing bed mattress can remove most adults (adult fleas are 5% of fleas population).

Wash hardwood floors with spraying a watery solution of insecticide-borax-salt mixture, as sprinkling salt crystals may not be suitable, add a one third cup of oily scent to maximize repelling effectiveness.

Fill in every corner of the carpets in the house with this deadly mixture, you can spray the liquid version on carpets instead of sprinkling.

Extract most larvae in carpets by starting to vacuum your carpets and furniture 2 to 3 times each week for a few weeks, a golden tips to get vacuuming works to kill most fleas:
Corners and thick Carpeting will need to be heavily dusted.
Leave the sprinkled mixture and sprayed solution for 48 hour on floors, carpets, and mattresses to maximize repelling and killing effectiveness.

Vacuum thoroughly with a disposable bag.
Fill the disposable bag with a handful of the killing insecticide-salt mix, once a flea drawn into the bag, will get poisoned and died forever, unless this step, the fleas in the bag still alive for a longer period and could go and run away, also eggs still able to start hatching, they will not be able to re-infest your home in the future.
Take the bag outside to a dumpster or trash can away from your house.
Make vacuuming as a habit, as vacuum process can exterminate fleas population regularly and used to eliminate chemicals that we have sprinkled.
You should see a difference in 2, 3 weeks at most.

Wash all bedding with hot soapy water is a first line remedy to force fleas to their deadly trap, fleas will be trapped into soapy pool.
Use chlorine with white cloths could increase the killing rate to 50% with minimum bad effect on cloths.
Also wash pet beds, toys and washable pet items at the same time.

Additional tips:
Fleas are attracted to the light with acceptable rate: Place a light bulb or lamp over a shallow dish of soapy water at night, add scents to maximize the effect on fleas and get a nice smell while fleas being trapped, more about flea traps.

DE and Vinegar are effective to get rid of fleas but can be used a second line defense after this recipe, as DE and vinegar has more harsh effect on both fleas and human as well, DE is preferred in yards than inside house.

Use liquid Soda instead of water as a natural spray for fleas for carpets and mattresses.

Treat your cat with a flea bath with any flea shampoo made for cats only.
Keep your cats on the Advantage for a couple of months post the infestation.

I can't get rid of fleas in my house even after applying salt borax insecticide mix?
re-infestation by fleas can occur after successful removal due to many reasons including:
  • brought in to a new house
  • buying a new furniture piece, 
  • dirty cloths,
  • closed living rooms
  • bring new kitten or puppy to the flea-free one you have
  • a new pet or human visiting your house

Ortho Bug B Gon Insect Killer for Lawns and Gardens
Hose-End Sprayer 32 Fl. Oz.(Kills 230+ Insects Including Mosquitoes, Fleas, Ticks, and Ants. Use in Lawns, Trees, Shrubs, Vegetables, and Fruit Trees)

What manufacturer said:
Spraying this on the yard is quite a bit easier than spreading bug killer that comes in bags of granules or powders.
Tips to get the products work:
24hrs before spraying this on your yard, give your lawn it a fresh mow and water. And if you're trying to get rid of crickets, right after hosing your lawn down with this bug killer, water your lawn again right away.Then don't plan on mowing again for 2-3 days. You can treat your yard again every 4-6 weeks. This 32oz bottle is large enough to cover 5300 sq ft. However if you're trying to treat for tougher bugs like ants, apply more bug killer than usual and this bottle is enough for about 1400 sq ft.

The BUG B GON hose-end sprayer attaches easily and tightly (no leaks) to my garden hose. Then I just turn on the water and the sprayer to apply the insect killer. The only tricky parts are remembering (1) to NOT turn the sprayer on until after the water is turned on; and (2) to turn the sprayer off, turn the water off, and then turn the sprayer on partway (to "Water") to clear the hose before disconnecting the sprayer.

Check the label (or the list at the end of this review) to find out whether this product is effective against the insects you are trying to control. (It kills the spider mites that I'm after.) This product is extremely toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp, so it shouldn't be used around pet fish or reptiles. The label has different instructions for the application to lawns, ornamental plants, and edible plants (vegetable gardens, fruit and nut trees). The product may need to be reapplied at intervals of 7-14 days or more; and edible vegetables, fruit, and nuts cannot be harvested for 1, 3, 7, 14, or 21 days after application, depending on the specific edible.

What does people review the product bad properties?
Despite having an 100 foot hose, there were many areas this spray did not reach. I have had hose attached spray bottles of other yard spray that shoot up to 10-12 feet

Diatomaceous Earth to forcefully kill fleas naturally in yards 
They're tiny calcified algae, have a sharp silicon edges, can cut fleas but can cur human lungs' too if inhaled.
To avoid that: wear a mask when applying DE and when removing after few days.
Don't use near the dog's house which is a yard's resident.
avoid DE to become wet before and after application.
DE will easily naturally kill fleas and ticks that live in your lawn. 
The DE dust can be re-applied after each mowing. 

Boric Acid and Borate powder for yard's fleas
Boric acid is a powerful disinfectant and Borax is one of boric based products used for well washing and cleaning, recently, many studies show bad effects of borax, but still a natural product to kill fleas.
To avoid know and unknown borax consequences, use borax to kill fleas in yard, patio, and lawns only, and don;t use borax for fleas inside home.
The tactic is to sprinkle borax around corners and infestation areas and borax spray for areas need precise application as around face of the dog and around your household plants.

Garden Lime to kill fleas in the yard
Get some garden lime. It is a powder that is applied to add lime to your garden for the benefit of your plants. Fleas absolutely hate the stuff; they will leave the area in a few days. Spread it across your lawn with a hand spreader at about 1 pound per 1000 square feet. This will help strengthen your grass and rid the area of fleas at the same time. You can buy it at most hardware stores or garden centers; even WalMart has it. 

Incense sticks is a natural flea killer for small yards 
Yard candles or stick essences can keep the fleas way. 

Water is a natural flea killer for yards
The easiest way to do this is to flood your yard with water. Fleas can not survive yard flooded, so if you dumped Sometimes you can be rest assured gone fleas! Can usually rainy seasons what gets the job done, but if you were not in a better climate for it then do it manually.

How to use fleas life cycle to get rid of fleas effectively?

The three factors affect the life cycle of fleas are temperature, humidity and source of food, and we will use these factors to kill fleas more efficiently.

Some Serious Facts used in methods of flea's control:
Population of fleas are 50% eggs 35% larvae 10% pupae and only 5% biting adults.
The adult of female fleas is able to put up to 600 eggs per life span.
During the flea cycle only about 5% of fleas are actually live on your dog or cat. The other 95% of fleas at any stage are live in your house or yard.

Major phases of fleas which live in your house:
1- The Egg: 
Contain future insect, later the eggs drop off your pet and land on your carpet or floor.
2- Larvae: 
Larvae is the mature embryo after the egg hatched in period between 2 days up to two weeks as environmental condition allows hatching process.
3- Pupae stage: 
It is the developed larva in a period from 1 – 3 weeks and pass through four moulting stages ending by spinning a cover layer of silken cocoon which give the insect a temporary status until the surrounding conditions become suitable to hatch and start invasion on humans.
Larva Pupate and continues maturation inside then emerges as a butterfly which later lose their wings and become adult flea.
4- Adult flea:Adult flea fed on animal blood, it is a blood sucker insect.
Flea eggs dropped down on your carpet, floor, bedding and any outside place as yard, house of pets, household plants garden.
And hatch after a period, fleas hatched on your bed, mattress, and carpeting.

Salt, Borax, Baking Soda are dehydrating agents which able to control flea population.

What is the danger of flea larvae?
Larvae will get deep into carpet fibers, in cracks between floor boards, under beds, furniture and rugs and around skirting boards. Moreover the larvae of fleas can survive for long in sand and gravel. The minor food of larvae is dead skin cells, organic material and the blood rich faeces of adult fleas. Larvae move by round movement using hair like bristles that enable them to move around to corners, crevices, under furniture, in cracks between floor boards and along baseboards of your house or yard.

I left my house unoccupied for a period of time,

and suddenly I found the house covered with fleas? Why?The reason behind heavy and sudden invasion of fleas is the protected cocoon containing the Pupae stage of flea. Humidity and vibration are of awakening factors of the underlying fleas inside your home.

What is a flea cycle?
Here is the complete life span that each flea insect must go to be an adult sucker flea.
Fleas lay their eggs after a blood feed on the animal but these flea eggs quickly drop off on to the carpet, floor, bedding and outside areas. In fact anywhere your pet goes becomes a battle zone.
The life cycle of the flea depends on temperature, humidity and source of food. The life cycle of the flea from egg to adulthood can vary from two weeks to eight months.
An adult female flea can lay up to 600 eggs in its life time.
Eggs can hatch anywhere between two days and two weeks.

After the eggs hatch they become larvae. These are little worm like insects that get deep into carpet fibers, in cracks between floor boards, under beds, furniture and rugs and around skirting boards. They also thrive in sand and gravel. They feed on dead skin cells, organic material and the blood rich faeces of adult fleas. Although they don’t have legs they can move around and make their way to corners and crevices

The little worm like larvae develop over a period of one to three weeks going through four moulting stages then spin themselves a silken cocoon, just like a caterpillar. This is called the pupae stage. They can remain in their cocoons for several months but will hatch if conditions are right. Vibrations can trigger them to hatch and this is the reason why you can be suddenly covered by fleas after a house has been left unoccupied for a long period of time.

Where Do Fleas Come From To My Dogs and Cats?

How do Fleas Enter in my house? 
Where the fleas come from?
Fleas where it comes from?
If you have a big house and have an area of space around it exploited in the house for the dog or for the cultivation of certain plants or herbs which it is useful for you, confirmed that the dogs will bring fleas? Why dogs bring fleas despite the fact that her house is always clean?

We shall reply the frequent question like those:
where fleas live?
where fleas hide?
how dogs get fleas?
fleas in house?
where do fleas come from if you don't have pets?
where do fleas come from if you have no pets?
fleas come from outside?

Make sure the creepy critters are fleas and not some other type of biting invader, such as bed bugs, gnats, or small ants.

1. Fleas come from outside they are generally in the grass, from the woods and fields.
2. It could be from the dirty place next to your house: If a neighbor is very dirty that is another place they breed. Even if you applied control methods in your house.
3. A flea is usually brought into a home by a furred animal of some kind, and this can of course be domestic pets such as dogs and cats. Even if a domestic animal has not been in the house for a very long time, fleas can still survive. A flea can lay dormant in a house for many months with no animal activity and survive for a lengthy period. Flea eggs are roused from their slumber by vibrations, and then simply wake up when people enter the home and start moving around again.
4. Fleas are found in your home due to vermin or rodents, or other wild animals being in close proximity to the home such as squirrels, raccoon, and other small rodents will find ways to get into your yard, carrying fleas and ticks along with them.
5. How do fleas come to your yard? By Human Transportation or visits of wild animals, , it’s easy for a few to hitch a ride on your pants leg, socks, shoes, etc. These parasites are well-adapted at finding ways to attach to potential hosts in order to find their next blood meal, the more visitors you have to your yard, the greater the chance of an infestation arriving on the back of another animal.

How do dogs and cats get fleas?
Short walks around the block; play dates at the local dog park; a visit to the veterinarian; a stint at the boarding kennel; a trip to the groomer; a ride in the car; etc., and they will find the furriest spots in the deepest crevices of your pet’s skin. Look especially close in the neck fur, in the abdomen, and in the arm "pits."

Where do fleas live, hide, and infest?
1. Fleas can found inside on articles of clothing.
2. Can be carried on the backs of animals, such as bats, raccoon, opossums, rats, and/or squirrels.
3. Fleas can spread to different rooms and apartments through flea-infested animal nests in a nook or cranny of a building. Then flea eggs can lie dormant in a carpet for months until a potential meal walks by and disturbs them telltale vibrations can cause flea eggs to hatch in seconds.
4. Wild animals to come into your dog’s domain: Feral cats roaming your property are also carriers of fleas and ticks.

Where do the flea bites found?
Flea bites usually are found on the feet and ankles. The bites commonly go unnoticed when they happen, but people can experience itching, a rash, and/or irritation after the fact.
If the symptoms are bothersome, flea bites can be treated with carbonated petroleum jelly, menthol, ice, or calamine lotion. Or Call Medical Services at x4-2284.

How Can You Stop fleas from Entering your Home?1. To keeping a neat and tidy house is the best way of stopping fleas from entering.
2. Check and clean second hand carpets or furniture. By simple vacuum cleaner
3. Check secret hiding places of fleas like humid and cool areas, so anywhere that doesn't get much sun is a good place to start.
4. Yard or a less mowed garden is probably the best way of hiding flea and carrying pets,
5. Not well sealing obvious gaps or nooks and crannies with sealant foam or caulk is also a way of mice and rats which grab fleas.

Simply remember to thoroughly clean, scrub, and vacuum anywhere you fear they might be hiding, and use commercially available powders and such to kill them and destroy any offspring. Always throw anything machine washable into the washing machine if you fear they have been compromised, such as cushions, sheets, and throw rugs, and aggressively vacuum and clean all of the carpets and furnishings.

Cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis)
Dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis)
Human flea (Pulex irritans)
Moorhen flea (Dasypsyllus gallinulae)
Northern rat flea (Nosopsyllus fasciatus)
Oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis)

Fleas feed on a wide variety of warm-blooded vertebrates including dogs, cats, humans, chickens, rabbits, squirrels, rats, ferrets, and mice.
Fleas are a nuisance to their hosts, causing an itching sensation which in turn may result in the host attempting to remove the pest by biting, pecking, scratching, etc. flea bite is similar to a mosquito bite.

You may see the fleas -- small dark spots that move -- or their droppings, which look like specks of dirt. Lots of scratching and hair loss are also signs that fleas may be feasting on your feline.Flea Warning Signs: Cats.

How to identify Ticks from fleas?
Ticks are small arachnids in the order Parasitiformes. Along with mites, they constitute the subclass Acarina. Ticks are ectoparasites (external parasites), living by hematophagy on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Ticks are vectors of a number of diseases, including Lyme disease, Q fever (rare; more commonly transmitted by infected excreta).
Ticks satisfy all of their nutritional requirements on a diet of blood, a practice known as hematophagy. They extract the blood by cutting a hole in the host's epidermis, into which they insert their hypostome,

Tick Warning Signs:

You can feel ticks while petting your cat or dog, and you can see them. They most often attach near the head, neck, ears, or paws. On cats, they're typically found around the ears and eyes. Ticks can carry dangerous diseases, and it doesn’t take long for a pet to pick up the disease while a tick is feeding. If you find a tick on your pet, try to remove it as soon as possible.

How Do Pets Get Ticks?
Ticks crawl onto tall grass and shrubs and wait for a host to walk by. They can wait for a year without feeding. Dogs are most likely to pick up ticks while walking in the woods or high grass from spring through fall. Outdoor cats can pick up ticks the same way. Ticks are more common in warm climates and certain wooded areas of the Northeast.

What do Lice looks like? 
Plural of Louse which is the common name for members of over 3,000 species of wingless insects of the order Phthiraptera; three of which are classified as human disease agents.


Lice aren't dangerous and they don't spread disease, but they are contagious, annoying, and sometimes hard to get rid of.

A louse's color varies from pale beige to dark gray; however, if feeding on blood, it may become considerably darker. Female lice are usually more common than the males,

Louse's egg is commonly called a nit. Many lice attach their eggs to their host's hair with specialized saliva; the saliva/hair bond is very difficult to sever without specialized products.


How to know Mites?

Are a minute arachnid that has four pairs of legs when adult, related to the ticks. Many kinds live in the soil and a number are parasitic on plants or animals.

Mites, along with ticks, are small arthropods belonging to the subclass Acari.
In soil ecosystems, mites are favored by high organic matter content and by moist conditions, wherein they actively engage in the fragmentation and mixing of organic matter.

Ortho Bug B Gon Insect Killer for Lawns and Gardens
Hose-End Sprayer 32 Fl. Oz.(Kills 230+ Insects Including Mosquitoes, Fleas, Ticks, and Ants. Use in Lawns, Trees, Shrubs, Vegetables, and Fruit Trees)

What manufacturer said:
Spraying this on the yard is quite a bit easier than spreading bug killer that comes in bags of granules or powders.
Tips to get the products work:
24hrs before spraying this on your yard, give your lawn it a fresh mow and water. And if you're trying to get rid of crickets, right after hosing your lawn down with this bug killer, water your lawn again right away.Then don't plan on mowing again for 2-3 days. You can treat your yard again every 4-6 weeks. This 32oz bottle is large enough to cover 5300 sq ft. However if you're trying to treat for tougher bugs like ants, apply more bug killer than usual and this bottle is enough for about 1400 sq ft.

The BUG B GON hose-end sprayer attaches easily and tightly (no leaks) to my garden hose. Then I just turn on the water and the sprayer to apply the insect killer. The only tricky parts are remembering (1) to NOT turn the sprayer on until after the water is turned on; and (2) to turn the sprayer off, turn the water off, and then turn the sprayer on partway (to "Water") to clear the hose before disconnecting the sprayer.

Check the label (or the list at the end of this review) to find out whether this product is effective against the insects you are trying to control. (It kills the spider mites that I'm after.) This product is extremely toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp, so it shouldn't be used around pet fish or reptiles. The label has different instructions for the application to lawns, ornamental plants, and edible plants (vegetable gardens, fruit and nut trees). The product may need to be reapplied at intervals of 7-14 days or more; and edible vegetables, fruit, and nuts cannot be harvested for 1, 3, 7, 14, or 21 days after application, depending on the specific edible.

What does people review the product bad properties?
Despite having an 100 foot hose, there were many areas this spray did not reach. I have had hose attached spray bottles of other yard spray that shoot up to 10-12 feet

Diatomaceous Earth to forcefully kill fleas naturally in yards 
They're tiny calcified algae, have a sharp silicon edges, can cut fleas but can cur human lungs' too if inhaled.
To avoid that: wear a mask when applying DE and when removing after few days.
Don't use near the dog's house which is a yard's resident.
avoid DE to become wet before and after application.
DE will easily naturally kill fleas and ticks that live in your lawn. 
The DE dust can be re-applied after each mowing. 

Boric Acid and Borate powder for yard's fleas
Boric acid is a powerful disinfectant and Borax is one of boric based products used for well washing and cleaning, recently, many studies show bad effects of borax, but still a natural product to kill fleas.
To avoid know and unknown borax consequences, use borax to kill fleas in yard, patio, and lawns only, and don;t use borax for fleas inside home.
The tactic is to sprinkle borax around corners and infestation areas and borax spray for areas need precise application as around face of the dog and around your household plants.

Garden Lime to kill fleas in the yard
Get some garden lime. It is a powder that is applied to add lime to your garden for the benefit of your plants. Fleas absolutely hate the stuff; they will leave the area in a few days. Spread it across your lawn with a hand spreader at about 1 pound per 1000 square feet. This will help strengthen your grass and rid the area of fleas at the same time. You can buy it at most hardware stores or garden centers; even WalMart has it. 

Incense sticks is a natural flea killer for small yards 
Yard candles or stick essences can keep the fleas way. 

Water is a natural flea killer for yards
The easiest way to do this is to flood your yard with water. Fleas can not survive yard flooded, so if you dumped Sometimes you can be rest assured gone fleas! Can usually rainy seasons what gets the job done, but if you were not in a better climate for it then do it manually.
