I use LED night lights , so it is the light they are attracted to... they are very attracted to heat as well, you can place a heating pad under the metal pan and eliminate the need for light...or do both.

It does work & the heat lamp's a good idea as long as it don't get knocked over in the water, especially if your pet is able to be where it's sitting on the floor. I have been doing it for yrs w/warm tap water & Dawn dish soap but it's cold in a few hours. Anything's worth a try & hopefully will attract a lot more...just without the heat lamp! Thank you for sharing!
yo guys i just filled my bathtub with warm water then put some kids bubbley shampoo in there then mixed it and then i put my cat in there until she started to meow then when i took her out i flipped her and i saw a ton of dead fleas and blood and i grabbed a tweaser and picked em up and dropped them into the sink drain thingy!!! :D im really happy that worked and some fleas survived but they are really weak and slow!! i hope she feels much better!

Thank you for your presentations. We have an older dog and we have been wondering how to treat her for fleas safely. We are also beekeepers and would ask you for natural options for environmental treatments that might be less problematic for bees. Thanks again for your presentations.
I use a white dish with a desk lamp shining right into it. If you wave your hands in front of it at night, you can actually see the fleas jumping into it. The movement in front of the light really attracts them.
Your remedy is the best by far. 1. Bath 2. Apply citrus to her coat 3. clove of garlic per day in her meal. And a lot of cleaning that does no one any harm. Thank you for your very low cost per consultation of treatment. Yay the Aussies.

Garlic is okay in small amounts: An article on garlic by The American Kennel Club states, “Studies have found it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilograms of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood.” This means an 85 lb. Labrador retriever would need to eat 152 cloves of garlic before it becomes toxic for them.
Backing soda and borax detergent mix together and with a soft cheap brush at dollar tree paint the dry powder on the corner of your kitchen floor and bathroom floor. Leave on for a few days and vacuum or sweep the powder. Also dry paint the same your bed and all around the bedroom. Leave for a few hours and vacuum the bed. This will discard all fleas and ticks. It's also safe to use the same ingredients on your pet dog for it works on their skin as well and it's safe.
Pattie Boon ...Powdered garlic is fine in very small measured. I think vets. always blame "stuff" on kidney failure. It's the best way for them to make money. My 12y.o. dog has garlic powder in about 4 feeds a week. (he's fed twice a day)
Since garlic is significantly more concentrated than an onion, an even smaller ingested amount will likely lead to toxicosis-as little as one clove of garlic can lead to toxicity in dogs and cats.
@@rosemarydudley9954 yeah to each their own pet at the owner's discretion. The information about it at the time when I looked was all over the place on whether or not it was alright in what quantities. If you want to then it's your choice. Don't want to it's your choice. It's on you.
I've had good luck with the lit plastic mesh sticker traps. The fleas do seem attracted to the light, so they'll fall through the mesh and get stuck on the sticker. That and diluting a bit of apple cider vinegar in water for pets seems to have brought things under control. With cats, I'm leery of putting any poisoned water in dark corners of the house where they may drink from if able. A citrus bath will make them hate you forever.
you can also mix vinegar and water and spray your dogs to keep fleas away. you can also mist your carpet to help with flea control. Please check carpet to make sure it will not stain it.
I tried every natural way to get rid of fleas the only thing that works is capstar or comfortis. Anyting else is a waste of money. Farmer boy boric acid and TE food grade is the only natural way to get rid of fleas in your carpet and home. Garlic and onions are very toxic to dogs and especially cats. You have to be very careful with cats most essential oils are very toxic to our babies. The the safest to get rid of fleas are Rosemary and chamomile .
Thank you for video, Andrew. Please keep in mind this guy is an exterminator, not a veterinarian. Definitely talk to your vet about giving your pet garlic-or just don't give it to them. Simple. There are a lot of great products out there for flea repellent for pets. I liked the video.
WhatNow858 ... I have had my rescue dog for 2.5yrs. from the age of 10(ish). I have ALWAYS put 1/2 tspn. garlic powder in in meals about 4 times a week. N.B. He's still alive ha ha ha ha ha. My horse also had it and I also have it. Do get the powdered garlic and don't give fresh...too toxic.
That was fantastic. I've been using cider vinegar with lemon juice, topped up with water as a spray, but it is simply NOT killing them. I will try the three citrus, but as someone said below, cats don't like citrus.. and I've got cats.. not dogs.. .But we'll give it a go and see.
my mother in law had a bad infestation years ago and they seemed to be breeding in the sandy soil under the house. So she got a bunch of salt and mixed into the soil and that took care of it
Salt kills them. Thats cheap. I hav to sprinkle it, leave it to work, hoover that up. Then do it again, as often as u need , dirty little itchy. Horrible things.
I put the derby from the vacuum in plastic bag, then in the freezer for an hour . I put it in the trash. I also put in for over night. Steam clean the carpet, but if you have wool carpet. Do not steam, nor shampoo. It will absorbs the water.
What about using borax laundry granules outside and water it in until you can break up egg cycles? I also put liquid laundry soap in a hose end sprayer and spray a solution all around the house to make it less flea friendly. I also broadcast in pet areas diatomaceous earth outside and dust my pets with it, we can get it at feed stores in 50lb bags.. The fleas will hitch hike on the bottom of our pants legs here in the Southern uSA.
So, it seems like this whole wall post is nothing but filled with (is my pet safe from XX foods) statements. If any are wondering, I'll spare you the trouble of possible future hate and disagreement chats: 1) Garlic, onion, and citrus can be toxic to animals, and can be not toxic in little quantities; it depends. Some sites says so, others say no. In my experience my pets did fine with little quantities, in others' pets maybe not. It's like allergies in humans, some die by a bee sting, and others are fine. It's your choice whether to do this or not. The End.
You are so correct, he said one clove not the whole garlic and little is not harmful and he didn't say feed it everyday, just to rid them and wash your babies people...mine are flea and tick free and so healthy, both of them, even with garlic once in awhile...no croaking in my family of furry babies, maybe stinky farts and breath.
The lemon juice did however work perfectly ! I surrounded their territory so they couldn't spread through all the rooms after which I attacked them with a killer-spray which I stumbled upon while being in a shop. They all died that day and no flee tried to enter my house again...
Kourttneex3 Hi , the spray was a cheap & very toxic one , which I was instructed to use/spray only under furniture where my cat would never walk or be... a week after spraying I bought 4 cans of a animal-saver-spray at a local pet shop which does no harm to my cat or me... the lemon juice I bought at a supermarket (grocery store) in a plastic squeeze bottle and that I sprayed here and there in the infested area but "bordered" the door inside and outside so it would be to afraid/disgusted by the lemon smell that it would stay in the room. I marked every room at the door until this big-lemon-sized bottle was empty - you should border-up the uninfected rooms with lemon juice first before applying the spray , this way the cannot "escape" (their fate mhoohahahaha ! (evil laugh)) success kourtnee (btw. It was summer and very hot - good weather for flees) but I give a pipette of frontline (bought at the doctor) every month... and if your cat doesn't like to be rubbed over his-her tummy/stomach than maybe she has worms - also use frontline for 15 different worms - my cat is lean now and has no more belly pain.. again success oh yea, 1 more thing - iheartdogs.com/if-your-dog-or-cat-ever-does-this-go-to-the-vet-immediately/
Very well done presenting material. Will try all the things you have said. Although it's going to be on a boat. If you have any other suggestions on ridding fleas on boat other than sinking it let me know. Thanks
Our holistic vets here in the US say that 1 tea spoon of chopped/minced garlic is not harmful to dogs. I've read that garlic is toxic to dogs, but apparently, this is not the case.
I read that you shouldn’t give cats garlic because it’s toxic to them. He said to put it in the dog food and didn’t mention cats, so I wanted to warn the cat owners out there.
Onions, garlic, chives, and leeks are in the Allium family, and are poisonous to both dogs and cats if the dose is right (if they eat a single large serving or repeatedly nibble on small amounts over time). Garlic is considered to be about five times as toxic as onions for cats and dogs.
pure lemon juice with white vinegar and a spoonful of baking powder. Wash the dog with lots of soapy water leave 5 minutes rinse off and repeat. dry the dog and use the above in a spray. No more fleas.
This is the most ridiculous video. Citrus is TOXIC FOR CATS and should under no circumstances be rubbed on their coat. It could kill them. This video should be taken down as it's dangerous for pets.
Citrus (oranges, tangerines, clementines, grapefruit, lemons, limes): Although the fruit itself may not cause digestive distress, citrus plants are toxic to dogs and cats.
My cat is okay with baths but I don't want to bathe her too much, I take a nit and lice comb and run it through her hair, dip it in hot water to kill the fleas that come out, wipe the comb off with paper towels and keep running through until I see no more fleas.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! While the citrus may be safe to apply to an animal, feeding them garlic is not!! Garlic is toxic to dogs!!! Garlic and other members of the allium family, including onions, contain thiosulfate, which is toxic to dogs!!!!!!! www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic/#:~:text=Garlic%20might%20be%20good%20for,dogs%20but%20not%20to%20humans.
Garlic belongs to the Allium family (which also includes onion, chives, and leeks) and is poisonous to dogs and cats. Garlic is considered to be about 5-times as potent as onion and leeks. ... While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic.
Yes another person who caught this. I've seen my dogs chew a bite or so of chives in person and then spit them out when fleas have been a problem. Unfortunately we humans don't know how to dose a dog as well as thousands of years of evolution.
We found few mothball crystals in paper bags put under the furniture suffocated the fleas and then just vacuum them up. IF you have to put a few small crystals in the vacuum container and after emptying container take garbage out as soon as possible
Yeah I do need a life but I like being a troll too and that's perfect I live in Hawthorne. Let's meet up have some coffee, a nice chat then we can have fun?
Food grade (NOT the swimming pool stuff) diocenous earth works very well, put some of this powder on around whereever the pet sleeps or spends the most time, eventually it will kill all bugs. It wont hurt the pet at all, they can even eat it no problem. dont get it wet or damp it wont work after that
Fleas are attracted to warmth, not light. Warmth and vibration (a potential food source walking by) Best solution is to Foster your pets out into a flea-safe/treated environment while you treat your home. As long as fleas have a food source, they will cocoon and lie in wait. Humans are not a food source for fleas however they do take tastes… That’s why we get bitten.

Thank you so much I'm going to try this because my little Chihuahua we cannot get rid of the fleas to save our life on him we give him baths 1-2 times a week and he's got the flea collars I've tried the oral flea tablets and no matter what we do he always has fleas on him we have a indoor cat also and two dogs outside but there's nothing on them it's just the Chihuahua~
Add a green light bulb to a desk lamp and place that near the detergent water dish. Also at night, place a house plant near the dish. Fleas are attracted to carbon dioxide.
Plants produce O2 I thought? Maybe not the O2 'produced, per se, but maybe the fact that since plants utilize the CO2 in the air to MAKE the O2 - would mean higher concentrations of CO2 right around the plant as it absorbs it from the air? Maybe? What about salt and/or baking soda? Oh, and "DAWN" dish liquid! Its 'supposed' to be okay for animals to wash with >>> AS LONG as its ALL rinsed off well. The thing to remeber to do when going to give your cat a bath (yes, a BATH - which takes a GREAT deal of patience! But if you have a flea infested cat that is ALSO allergic to flea dander [poor thing!], once finished and out of the water > that cat will show SUCH relief and literally have 'thank you' all on their face expression and in their eyes. They will calm down and just begin to enjoy the nice and light but firm rub around with a clean dry towel, while sitting in front of a quiet space heater. They'll also love the treats they get as reward for having to go thru all that mess, and while giving them the treat, or while you hold them like a little baby all swaddled (so they cant take your face off) you can use a micro-comb to go thru their fur all over and have some running water near to frequently rinse the comb after ei many brushes or anytime you see dead fleas leftover or the clear/opaque looking flea eggs. DEFINITELY the eggs - most important!!!
+classiclistener01 No it's not. Do better research. They shouldn't be eating large doses of garlic, but, a small amount, everyday is very beneficial. I've brought back to health, MANY a sick and neglected dog and I've included garlic in every one of those dogs' diets. EVERYTHING runs risk in this life, for us AND for our furry friends. WATER is toxic to mammals (even humans) in large doses. Moderation has always been key.
+Taylor Pinkham The fucker bitching like a prissy little princess is so annoying that I'll make a point to spread the word of "a clove of garlic a day keeps your pet's fleas away" to as many pet owning people as possible. I invite everyone to do the same.
***** well u write like a woman on eternal heat who's not gettin any fuckin. I'm always right, but one gotta have brains 2 see it, n gotta b kind enough 2 admit it. I called you "names" cause u deserved it. Ur a blast of annoyance n someone gotta cut u off. U'r here 2 help??? THAT"S FAB!!!! Than fuckin DO IT!

Only in high doses for example 30 grams would be considered dangerous to your pets blood cells but an average sized clove is 7 grams if that helps you, I know this is a year old comment but just incase nobody answered your question 😊
Other things fleas don't like (which are a lot safer than what this guys was spewing); rosemary, vinegar, peppermint, lemongrass, basil, chives... Vinegar, peppermint and rosemary are the only items on this list which can be ingested with little to no negative results (diluted, in small doses). Everything else, must be diluted and applied to the fur (citrus also works in this manner). Never EVER feed your pet garlic, onions or anything from the family they fall in to
I have citrus essential oils in my house. Can I put a few drops on the back of the cat's head & brush it in? She's allergic to pyrethrin in a lot of spot ons. I have bermagot, lime, lemongrass, & sweet orange to work with.
...my wife loves garlic and eats it umm let's say a little too much. When we had a flea problem, they loved her the most. So were those fleas Italian or is the garlic thing bs?

I live in Florida, I have scant grass and mostly sand. Is there anything I can do to treat the sand where my dogs use the bathroom and are there plants that I can use around the border to deture fleas? Thanks
have all the women out there caught themselves watching this more than once just to hear this guy talk? lol!! if he's willing to come to the U.S. he can keep all the fleas out of my house. after all, we have a lot of warm weather in florida, and fleas can get pretty bad here in summer time.
This guy is an idiot and suggested two things in this short video that can cause your pet to get very ill or worse, kill them. I guess you dont have very good judgement.
+Carla Bishop yeah that works the dishsoap prevents them from getting out and if it is blue original dawn it wont harm the pets if they take a taste (after that they probably wont want anymore anyway)
I do a fair amount of oil painting so often have a container of turpentine nearby. If I catch a flea I drop it in the turps, it sinks immediately like a stone, spins around like crazy for a few seconds and then is a dead flea. The liquid would likely be lethal in a flea trap.
When I sprinkle thin diamatoceous earth or boric acid on the floor leaving it for 8 hours,coming back to vacuum the powder with the shop vacuum,if I take the bag outside,then I have to buy a bag daily costing:8$.If I keep the bag inside in a garbage bag,that's not good either.Should I sweep the powder ?.Can you please advise me?Exterminator already sprayed twice.Thank you very much for your help.
I recently moved into an apartment. The former tenants had two cats. The fleas in here are unreal. Constantly on me all the time. I can't sleep because I always feel them all over me. I really want to lay these soap traps everywhere, but I am hesitant because this place also has a roach problem. All the tips online say soapy water kills roaches but if used in a spray bottle as roach on roach basis. If I lay the soapy water out, am I killing two bugs with one stone, or I am encouraging the roach infestation? BTW, I just had this place professionally exterminated last week and the fleas are almost back to full strength. Any ideas?
leave the several of those traps and leave for a week or 2 so they have nothing to feed on and die on their own. I suggest staying at a friends or family or you can stay at a cheap motel. Remember to wash your clothes and yourself before going so you don't infest someone else. A flea fell on the screen as I typed this
WITH THE WINTER coming on now, I await the ultimate flea killer "bomb" I've used often. As temperatures drop below freezing, I will open the windows and use fans to move the cold air through my home. One or more in the windows, pushing the air in and, at the other end of my apartment, fans in windows sucking the air out. [No fans, just open all the windows overnight.] I prefer temperatures around 20 degrees, but 30 doesn't hurt! With the former, though, you will need to trickle the water in all your sinks and tub, because the pipes may freeze up otherwise. The goal, of course, is to get the house down below freezing. I'll sleep in a room that is warm, but will switch rooms and freeze that room out later. This ALWAYS works, when virtually nothing else does, -chemical spray cans and "bombs", constant vacuuming and mopping, etc. And it really ain't that hard to do! As far as cost, well, -heating up your home from freezing DOES cost money... Getting up in the morning to a frozen house is a rude awakening, but i like the results! While 30 degrees [outside] may not finish them completely, it'll make quite a dent... But a 20 degree outside temperature, that is nuclear! Another slightly scary method i use is putting bleach on my calfs [legs]. You could probably put it on full strength without harming yourself, but i usually cut it 50/50 with water, or more. 10 to 1 probably won't cut it, as you have to have SOME strength. When house cleaning, we often get bleach on our hands, and while it is not something i think is good for me, this is WAR. Fleas burrow into your flesh and lay their eggs there. If you don't kill the larvae in your own skin, you are literally "shedding" little fleas as you walk around your own home! I have heard it claimed that hydrogen peroxide can be used to wash down your skin and "burn off" fleas. [Btw, peroxide in your ears helps (some) people with "colds", -esp. upper respiratory viruses!] Maybe peroxide is healthier, but I don't know that it really works. Bleach WORKS. Try it two parts water, one part bleach, or 3 to 1 (1/4) may even do it. We have a cat. The first line of flea defense is to take care of her! [Temperature is still too warm outside now!] Kitty gets a good combing every night! She's a flea MAGNET! I use a lice comb my daughter needs once in a while. It's perfect. [A lady on you tube showed me this, by the way, God bless her!] Take a pot of boiling water to the tub and set it on a milk crate [etc.] in there. As you comb the cat, you'll get a flea in the comb, and instantly you dip the comb [with flea on it] in the hot water. Often you'll get two or three in a swipe. If you don't move fast, they'll hop off the comb. But they usually seem "stunned" to be pulled from their "fur world", so you'll have a (long) moment before they can react... If they do jump, they may fall in the tub, where you can have a few cups of warm water handy to dump into the tub to try to wash them down the drain. A dozen fleas on kitty last night, only six tonight... Gotta keep at it! Good luck y'all! [btw, the dish soap inna water trap DON'T work for me.]
Snap that is exactly what I was thinking. Wait until the the winter then open the window in each room with the door closed and freeze them out. They can't hide with the freezing cold air going everywhere.
For the soap in the tray, don't forget to place a hot lamp facing directly over the tray because the fleas are attracted to heat & will fall into the soap which will kill them.
Can you use a regular lamp? Like what kind of bulb do you need?
Yes the light is very important this method works wonderfully 👏
I use LED night lights , so it is the light they are attracted to... they are very attracted to heat as well, you can place a heating pad under the metal pan and eliminate the need for light...or do both. I have small plastic trays under electrical outlets that have LED night lights in them, I have been getting about 100+ fleas each night per tray and I have 12 set up.... About to start chemical warfare next, I intend to win this war!
It does work & the heat lamp's a good idea as long as it don't get knocked over in the water, especially if your pet is able to be where it's sitting on the floor. I have been doing it for yrs w/warm tap water & Dawn dish soap but it's cold in a few hours. Anything's worth a try & hopefully will attract a lot more...just without the heat lamp! Thank you for sharing!
I put a glass on the tray upside down then place a fleshlight on top facing down. works all the time.
Also, wash the vacuum cylinder out after emptying it. Then place a piece of flea collar in the cylinder/bag in case there are still some in there.
yo guys i just filled my bathtub with warm water then put some kids bubbley shampoo in there then mixed it and then i put my cat in there until she started to meow then when i took her out i flipped her and i saw a ton of dead fleas and blood and i grabbed a tweaser and picked em up and dropped them into the sink drain thingy!!! :D im really happy that worked and some fleas survived but they are really weak and slow!! i hope she feels much better!

With the pan of water method, instead of heating the water, you can also attach one of those clamp lights to the pan with an incandescent bulb. Shine the light on the water. It will keep it warm and attract fleas. All you have to do then is add a little water every day and it will kill fleas continually until you don't need it anymore.

I’ve given my dogs garlic all my life it was a suggestion from a vet when I was about 5 to remove fleas and ticks
How is your dog? And do you feed your dog garlic now???
You were just lucky don't keep doing it.
Garlic is okay in small amounts: An article on garlic by The American Kennel Club states, “Studies have found it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilograms of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood.”
This means an 85 lb. Labrador retriever would need to eat 152 cloves of garlic before it becomes toxic for them.

pet dog for it works on their skin as well and it's safe.
Interesting and some very useful tip Andrew. However, garlic is a no-no for cats so my vet informs me, as can cause kidney failure.
Pattie Boon ...Powdered garlic is fine in very small measured. I think vets. always blame "stuff" on kidney failure. It's the best way for them to make money. My 12y.o. dog has garlic powder in about 4 feeds a week. (he's fed twice a day)
a nite light and a plate of water with dawn dish soap did the job ..
i've heard of this but what about the flea eggs?
+Brooks Adamson MOP HOUSE ! SPRAY BOTTLE OF BLEACH over floors then mop again...I did this plus the light in a bucket and it got rid of all them
Brooks Adamson vacuum everyday. try food grade diatomaceous earth
Angelica R Were I live we don't have dawn what else can i use thanks
@@carolarmstrong3748 not really important about the brand . Going for viscosity thick and sticky.
He looks like Kevin Costner when he smiles, so much do I had to watch it again!
Good tips too.
Since garlic is significantly more concentrated than an onion, an even smaller ingested amount will likely lead to toxicosis-as little as one clove of garlic can lead to toxicity in dogs and cats.
+Not Applicable Depends on the pet I guess, a clove a day went fine with my pets. If you want try and use a little garlic powder, I used that on mine.
@@Kakashi713 My dog has garlic powder 4 times a week = he's a b/collie and is now 12y.o.
@@rosemarydudley9954 yeah to each their own pet at the owner's discretion. The information about it at the time when I looked was all over the place on whether or not it was alright in what quantities. If you want to then it's your choice. Don't want to it's your choice. It's on you.
I've had good luck with the lit plastic mesh sticker traps. The fleas do seem attracted to the light, so they'll fall through the mesh and get stuck on the sticker. That and diluting a bit of apple cider vinegar in water for pets seems to have brought things under control.
With cats, I'm leery of putting any poisoned water in dark corners of the house where they may drink from if able. A citrus bath will make them hate you forever.
you can also mix vinegar and water and spray your dogs to keep fleas away. you can also mist your carpet to help with flea control. Please check carpet to make sure it will not stain it.

I have a cat, a genet and a fennec.
I use a citrus peppermint spray on all of them
Thank you so much for not recommending pesticides on or in my pet . this is a great video thank you for your time
Pesticides are safer for your pet than feeding them garlic. Seriously......
@Soknik01 Dogs can have garlic actually.
dont ever give garlic to cats NEVER EVER
Know what you are talking about first before spreading misinformation. www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/garlic-for-dogs.html
u guys act like cats are the only pet that matters
@@Grievous- WOAH ILL GEY ARREATED FOR HATING AN ANIMAL LMAOOOO
I tried every natural way to get rid of fleas the only thing that works is capstar or comfortis. Anyting else is a waste of money. Farmer boy boric acid and TE food grade is the only natural way to get rid of fleas in your carpet and home. Garlic and onions are very toxic to dogs and especially cats. You have to be very careful with cats most essential oils are very toxic to our babies. The the safest to get rid of fleas are Rosemary and chamomile .
No garlic onion or Grapes to Dogs it an be deadly.
Thank you for video, Andrew. Please keep in mind this guy is an exterminator, not a veterinarian. Definitely talk to your vet about giving your pet garlic-or just don't give it to them. Simple. There are a lot of great products out there for flea repellent for pets. I liked the video.
WhatNow858 ... I have had my rescue dog for 2.5yrs. from the age of 10(ish). I have ALWAYS put 1/2 tspn. garlic powder in in meals about 4 times a week. N.B. He's still alive ha ha ha ha ha. My horse also had it and I also have it. Do get the powdered garlic and don't give fresh...too toxic.
@@rosemarydudley9954 Has the garlic made your dog resistant to fleas?
There is a great product called flea free made from garlic and it hasn't killed my of my dogs.
That was fantastic. I've been using cider vinegar with lemon juice, topped up with water as a spray, but it is simply NOT killing them. I will try the three citrus, but as someone said below, cats don't like citrus.. and I've got cats.. not dogs.. .But we'll give it a go and see.
my mother in law had a bad infestation years ago and they seemed to be breeding in the sandy soil under the house. So she got a bunch of salt and mixed into the soil and that took care of it
Salt kills them. Thats cheap. I hav to sprinkle it, leave it to work, hoover that up. Then do it again, as often as u need , dirty little itchy. Horrible things.
Simply spreap motor used oil on the area all plies will gone...
Borax got rid of them in our giant dog pen..
I put the derby from the vacuum in plastic bag, then in the freezer for an hour . I put it in the trash.
I also put in for over night.
Steam clean the carpet, but if you have wool carpet. Do not steam, nor shampoo. It will absorbs the water.
What about using borax laundry granules outside and water it in until you can break up egg cycles?
I also put liquid laundry soap in a hose end sprayer and spray a solution all around the house to make it less flea friendly.
I also broadcast in pet areas diatomaceous earth outside and dust my pets with it, we can get it at feed stores in 50lb bags..
The fleas will hitch hike on the bottom of our pants legs here in the Southern uSA.
So, it seems like this whole wall post is nothing but filled with (is my pet safe from XX foods) statements. If any are wondering, I'll spare you the trouble of possible future hate and disagreement chats:
1) Garlic, onion, and citrus can be toxic to animals, and can be not toxic in little quantities; it depends. Some sites says so, others say no. In my experience my pets did fine with little quantities, in others' pets maybe not. It's like allergies in humans, some die by a bee sting, and others are fine. It's your choice whether to do this or not. The End.
Right!
You are so correct, he said one clove not the whole garlic and little is not harmful and he didn't say feed it everyday, just to rid them and wash your babies people...mine are flea and tick free and so healthy, both of them, even with garlic once in awhile...no croaking in my family of furry babies, maybe stinky farts and breath.
The lemon juice did however work perfectly ! I surrounded their territory so they couldn't spread through all the rooms after which I attacked them with a killer-spray which I stumbled upon while being in a shop.
They all died that day and no flee tried to enter my house again...
+Average Joe What killer spray was it? and did you just drop lemon juice all over the floors in the spots?
Kourttneex3 Hi , the spray was a cheap & very toxic one , which I was instructed to use/spray only under furniture where my cat would never walk or be... a week after spraying I bought 4 cans of a animal-saver-spray at a local pet shop which does no harm to my cat or me... the lemon juice I bought at a supermarket (grocery store) in a plastic squeeze bottle and that I sprayed here and there in the infested area but "bordered" the door inside and outside so it would be to afraid/disgusted by the lemon smell that it would stay in the room. I marked every room at the door until this big-lemon-sized bottle was empty - you should border-up the uninfected rooms with lemon juice first before applying the spray , this way the cannot "escape" (their fate mhoohahahaha ! (evil laugh)) success kourtnee (btw. It was summer and very hot - good weather for flees) but I give a pipette of frontline (bought at the doctor) every month... and if your cat doesn't like to be rubbed over his-her tummy/stomach than maybe she has worms - also use frontline for 15 different worms - my cat is lean now and has no more belly pain.. again success oh yea, 1 more thing - iheartdogs.com/if-your-dog-or-cat-ever-does-this-go-to-the-vet-immediately/
Detail me please
Very well done presenting material. Will try all the things you have said. Although it's going to be on a boat. If you have any other suggestions on ridding fleas on boat other than sinking it let me know. Thanks
Thanks!!! Especially the pan with hot soapy water!
This dude is a legend. You can tell he's been battling these little bastards for years.
just one shower of cedar cide let sit for a little then rinse . fleas doent like cedar
make a dog house made of cedar it helps
Our holistic vets here in the US say that 1 tea spoon of chopped/minced garlic is not harmful to dogs. I've read that garlic is toxic to dogs, but apparently, this is not the case.
I tried giving my dog a small amount of garlic and had an adverse reaction
Absolutely brilliant information. THANK YOU. 🤗
Yeah brilliant except garlic and onions and chives and citrus can be toxic to cats!
I read that you shouldn’t give cats garlic because it’s toxic to them. He said to put it in the dog food and didn’t mention cats, so I wanted to warn the cat owners out there.
I used the orange juice on my dog and it got rid of the fleas. Now he's got gnats! :-)
Thank you for the information I am about to try out every method you mentioned in this video. !!! I hope they truly work!
Hi just curious if you tried this and if it worked?? I'm about to do the same
You can drop a flea collar inside the dust cup or bag or dust retainer this helps.
Onions, garlic, chives, and leeks are in the Allium family, and are poisonous to both dogs and cats if the dose is right (if they eat a single large serving or repeatedly nibble on small amounts over time). Garlic is considered to be about five times as toxic as onions for cats and dogs.
Citress fruit is an excellent idea, I would never give my dog garlic though.
*Citrus
You can get animal friendly supplement vitamin B with brewersyeast & garlic
pure lemon juice with white vinegar and a spoonful of baking powder. Wash the dog with lots of soapy water leave 5 minutes rinse off and repeat. dry the dog and use the above in a spray. No more fleas.
This is the most ridiculous video. Citrus is TOXIC FOR CATS and should under no circumstances be rubbed on their coat. It could kill them.
This video should be taken down as it's dangerous for pets.
WOW I just saw a video on combining citrus fruits and spraying the mixture on the fur.
@Elijah Soper i don't ever want anymore cats this is a royal pain. I love them but I'm getting a dog
Melissa Reynolds dogs get fleas too
Citrus (oranges, tangerines, clementines, grapefruit, lemons, limes): Although the fruit itself may not cause digestive distress, citrus plants are toxic to dogs and cats.
Melissa Reynolds they all get fleas just the same
My cat is okay with baths but I don't want to bathe her too much, I take a nit and lice comb and run it through her hair, dip it in hot water to kill the fleas that come out, wipe the comb off with paper towels and keep running through until I see no more fleas.
Thanks for the advice! And thanks for caring for the environment... It's where I live too ;).
Cheers,
Tim. Uk
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! While the citrus may be safe to apply to an animal, feeding them garlic is not!! Garlic is toxic to dogs!!! Garlic and other members of the allium family, including onions, contain thiosulfate, which is toxic to dogs!!!!!!! www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic/#:~:text=Garlic%20might%20be%20good%20for,dogs%20but%20not%20to%20humans.
Wow Ive never heard of these techniques! Very educational,Thanks
Garlic belongs to the Allium family (which also includes onion, chives, and leeks) and is poisonous to dogs and cats. Garlic is considered to be about 5-times as potent as onion and leeks. ... While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic.
Yes another person who caught this. I've seen my dogs chew a bite or so of chives in person and then spit them out when fleas have been a problem. Unfortunately we humans don't know how to dose a dog as well as thousands of years of evolution.
Thanks Andrew...have a wonderful 2023💙
"When you're looking at your pits, make sure they're all clean. Make sure your pits are all washed, once you've washed your pits in warm soapy water"
Melissa Cohen - ROFL I always wash my pits in warm, soapy water so they're always clean. Then I put Secret on them and they never have fleas.
We found few mothball crystals in paper bags put under the furniture suffocated the fleas and then just vacuum them up. IF you have to put a few small crystals in the vacuum container and after emptying container take garbage out as soon as possible
get something really clear... DO NOT GIVE YOUR CAT GARLIC IN ANY FORM. Unless of course you're trying to kill your cat.
You'd kill a cat?
I'd gut you for sure. But I guess I'm stuck behind a stupid keyboard. )':
Suuuure ahahahahahahahah!!!!
Let's give a try yeah? (:
"Being" my ugly big mouth where? I'd gladly show up. I could be eight and I could be a girl? You could find out.
Yeah I do need a life but I like being a troll too and that's perfect I live in Hawthorne. Let's meet up have some coffee, a nice chat then we can have fun?
Food grade (NOT the swimming pool stuff) diocenous earth works very well, put some of this powder on around whereever the pet sleeps or spends the most time, eventually it will kill all bugs. It wont hurt the pet at all, they can even eat it no problem. dont get it wet or damp it wont work after that
It is terrible on vacuums.. I put it in my house and vacuumed for a year and was still having it get in and bock my filter....
It will work after it drys. I thought that for the longest till I went to their website and found that out.
We trying 2 kill fleas not vampires 🤨
HILARIOUS !!
🤣🤣🤣
Vampires are easier to get rid of!
Vampire suck blood, Fleas suck blood... I see no difference here. Exept for the stabbing of wooden stake in the heart part.
Fleas are attracted to light too. So dont put traps in the dark. Put a bare bulb close to the water trap.
Fleas are attracted to warmth, not light. Warmth and vibration (a potential food source walking by)
Best solution is to Foster your pets out into a flea-safe/treated environment while you treat your home.
As long as fleas have a food source, they will cocoon and lie in wait.
Humans are not a food source for fleas however they do take tastes…
That’s why we get bitten.
Did you not watch the video? Raymond F...?????
Thanks very helpful. Does white vinegar mix with water during bath help to rid fleas from dogs?
Apple Cider
Garlic is said to be toxic for cats

Fleas is an insect. Is it right. Fleas does have six legs and they are wingless, like ants.
Thank you so much I'm going to try this because my little Chihuahua we cannot get rid of the fleas to save our life on him we give him baths 1-2 times a week and he's got the flea collars I've tried the oral flea tablets and no matter what we do he always has fleas on him we have a indoor cat also and two dogs outside but there's nothing on them it's just the Chihuahua~
@@muchasalud2011 what kind of fatty meat? Raw or cooked?
Add a green light bulb to a desk lamp and place that near the detergent water dish. Also at night, place a house plant near the dish. Fleas are attracted to carbon dioxide.
Plants produce O2 I thought? Maybe not the O2 'produced, per se, but maybe the fact that since plants utilize the CO2 in the air to MAKE the O2 - would mean higher concentrations of CO2 right around the plant as it absorbs it from the air? Maybe? What about salt and/or baking soda? Oh, and "DAWN" dish liquid! Its 'supposed' to be okay for animals to wash with >>> AS LONG as its ALL rinsed off well. The thing to remeber to do when going to give your cat a bath (yes, a BATH - which takes a GREAT deal of patience! But if you have a flea infested cat that is ALSO allergic to flea dander [poor thing!], once finished and out of the water > that cat will show SUCH relief and literally have 'thank you' all on their face expression and in their eyes. They will calm down and just begin to enjoy the nice and light but firm rub around with a clean dry towel, while sitting in front of a quiet space heater. They'll also love the treats they get as reward for having to go thru all that mess, and while giving them the treat, or while you hold them like a little baby all swaddled (so they cant take your face off) you can use a micro-comb to go thru their fur all over and have some running water near to frequently rinse the comb after ei many brushes or anytime you see dead fleas leftover or the clear/opaque looking flea eggs. DEFINITELY the eggs - most important!!!
Isn't garlic toxic for dogs?
+Taylor Pinkham Not in this does.
+classiclistener01 No it's not. Do better research. They shouldn't be eating large doses of garlic, but, a small amount, everyday is very beneficial. I've brought back to health, MANY a sick and neglected dog and I've included garlic in every one of those dogs' diets. EVERYTHING runs risk in this life, for us AND for our furry friends. WATER is toxic to mammals (even humans) in large doses. Moderation has always been key.
+Taylor Pinkham The fucker bitching like a prissy little princess is so annoying that I'll make a point to spread the word of "a clove of garlic a day keeps your pet's fleas away" to as many pet owning people as possible.
I invite everyone to do the same.
"A clove of garlic a day keeps your pet's fleas away." Spread them good words, people.

Isn't garlic toxic to cats and dogs?
Only in high doses for example 30 grams would be considered dangerous to your pets blood cells but an average sized clove is 7 grams if that helps you, I know this is a year old comment but just incase nobody answered your question 😊
Many veterinarians say that garlic as well as onions are poisonous to pets!
It is..
Other things fleas don't like (which are a lot safer than what this guys was spewing); rosemary, vinegar, peppermint, lemongrass, basil, chives... Vinegar, peppermint and rosemary are the only items on this list which can be ingested with little to no negative results (diluted, in small doses). Everything else, must be diluted and applied to the fur (citrus also works in this manner). Never EVER feed your pet garlic, onions or anything from the family they fall in to
Pepprmint is toxic to cats, as is eucalyptus.
Why “spewing”?
Rayne Storm did you sprinkle diamatoceous earth or boric acid on your floor?
Thank you Andrew. Huge help!
The plague is technically still around and people do still contract it....its endemic in regions in the U.S. and I'm sure other parts of the world.
Lol I was just saying since the fleas seem so mutant this year, maybe the Chinese have released the plague through mutant fleas that won’t die
Good tips. Thank you. I'm going to try these today. :)
I use water only on tray and they drown.
I find about 20 dead ones every morning
The only problem is I read somewhere that dogs and cats aren't supposed to eat garlic because eating garlic can kill dogs and cats
I tried all and none of them worked! The vacuuming and cleaning help but doesn't solve the issue
Mag G and now?
The water in dish with Dawn dish soap .
I have citrus essential oils in my house. Can I put a few drops on the back of the cat's head & brush it in? She's allergic to pyrethrin in a lot of spot ons. I have bermagot, lime, lemongrass, & sweet orange to work with.
Whoever reads this: The cat's flea problem is under control. Foggers & a shampoo bath took care of the problem.
I'm not an expert on this but I guess if I gave my dog garlic and he died I wouldn't have a flea problem
eva barrows thank you for posting this comment otherwise I might have gave her garlic
do some research instead of making a dumb comment garlic wont kill your dog
also i have a holistic vet and he gives all his dogs garlic pills twice a day with no ill affects what so ever for many many years
Garlic is highly toxic to dogs this is the dumbest suggestion ever
eva b my dog loves garlic
Why is the title how to get rid of fleas but your telling us how we get fleas. Please make a shorter video straight to the point....!!
place the tray of water under a night light, fleas are attracted to the light
Wonderful! Thank you Envirosafe! You rock!
...my wife loves garlic and eats it umm let's say a little too much. When we had a flea problem, they loved her the most. So were those fleas Italian or is the garlic thing bs?
Garlic is toxic to dogs
does it matter which brand of detergent? sorry for the stupid question lol thanks!
I like how hey says " Mkay "
I'm robin from Wisconsin we bought flea traps and the sticky pads that go into the traps they really work and you wouldn't believe how many fleas you get I made a mistake I said fleet farm ) its farm and fleet just ask some one they could show you where they are check them out
Banana peels also work good at killing fleas.
Ya how I would like to know myself
Is it because bananas are sprayed so liberally with pesticide??
Garlic. . .that makes sense. Fleas are basically vampires.
I live in Florida, I have scant grass and mostly sand. Is there anything I can do to treat the sand where my dogs use the bathroom and are there plants that I can use around the border to deture fleas? Thanks

God my house. I have cleaned everything taking cat to vets as fur is rubbing off. Put Vaseline on used flea medication such a pain.
Tobacco juice will kill fleas and is not toxic.
have all the women out there caught themselves watching this more than once just to hear this guy talk? lol!! if he's willing to come to the U.S. he can keep all the fleas out of my house. after all, we have a lot of warm weather in florida, and fleas can get pretty bad here in summer time.
This is the best video ive seen so far. Somehow i trust this guy..thank you
James Simons its the accent they sound like they know what there talking about even when they dont
James Simons This guy is australian
This guy is an idiot and suggested two things in this short video that can cause your pet to get very ill or worse, kill them. I guess you dont have very good judgement.
James Simons this man sounds nice but his advice for cats is dangerous and can kill or at least sicken cats so don't do it
James Simons don't give your dog's garlic it's poisonous to them please
It's not the "heat" but the light. An LED light works as well as any other
Thanks Andrew, will try this out
I put a mothball into the vacuum cleaner bag.
Yes , the flea's you vacuum up , the moth balls will kill
Great tips 🎉 Thank you 😊
Can you use Dawn dish soap in the water to keep the fleas away with a night light.
+Carla Bishop yeah that works the dishsoap prevents them from getting out and if it is blue original dawn it wont harm the pets if they take a taste (after that they probably wont want anymore anyway)
I do a fair amount of oil painting so often have a container of turpentine nearby. If I catch a flea I drop it in the turps, it sinks immediately like a stone, spins around like crazy for a few seconds and then is a dead flea.
The liquid would likely be lethal in a flea trap.
Lethal to animals too.
This is amazing!!
When I sprinkle thin diamatoceous earth or boric acid on the floor leaving it for 8 hours,coming back to vacuum the powder with the shop vacuum,if I take the bag outside,then I have to buy a bag daily costing:8$.If I keep the bag inside in a garbage bag,that's not good either.Should I sweep the powder ?.Can you please advise me?Exterminator already sprayed twice.Thank you very much for your help.
Yes garlic and onions are toxic to dogs
Small amounts in food is ok
I recently moved into an apartment. The former tenants had two cats. The fleas in here are unreal. Constantly on me all the time. I can't sleep because I always feel them all over me. I really want to lay these soap traps everywhere, but I am hesitant because this place also has a roach problem. All the tips online say soapy water kills roaches but if used in a spray bottle as roach on roach basis. If I lay the soapy water out, am I killing two bugs with one stone, or I am encouraging the roach infestation? BTW, I just had this place professionally exterminated last week and the fleas are almost back to full strength.
Any ideas?
leave the several of those traps and leave for a week or 2 so they have nothing to feed on and die on their own. I suggest staying at a friends or family or you can stay at a cheap motel. Remember to wash your clothes and yourself before going so you don't infest someone else. A flea fell on the screen as I typed this
thebranndoful!
WITH THE WINTER coming on now, I await the ultimate flea killer "bomb" I've used often. As temperatures drop below freezing, I will open the windows and use fans to move the cold air through my home. One or more in the windows, pushing the air in and, at the other end of my apartment, fans in windows sucking the air out. [No fans, just open all the windows overnight.] I prefer temperatures around 20 degrees, but 30 doesn't hurt! With the former, though, you will need to trickle the water in all your sinks and tub, because the pipes may freeze up otherwise. The goal, of course, is to get the house down below freezing. I'll sleep in a room that is warm, but will switch rooms and freeze that room out later. This ALWAYS works, when virtually nothing else does, -chemical spray cans and "bombs", constant vacuuming and mopping, etc. And it really ain't that hard to do! As far as cost, well, -heating up your home from freezing DOES cost money... Getting up in the morning to a frozen house is a rude awakening, but i like the results! While 30 degrees [outside] may not finish them completely, it'll make quite a dent... But a 20 degree outside temperature, that is nuclear!
Another slightly scary method i use is putting bleach on my calfs [legs]. You could probably put it on full strength without harming yourself, but i usually cut it 50/50 with water, or more. 10 to 1 probably won't cut it, as you have to have SOME strength. When house cleaning, we often get bleach on our hands, and while it is not something i think is good for me, this is WAR. Fleas burrow into your flesh and lay their eggs there. If you don't kill the larvae in your own skin, you are literally "shedding" little fleas as you walk around your own home! I have heard it claimed that hydrogen peroxide can be used to wash down your skin and "burn off" fleas. [Btw, peroxide in your ears helps (some) people with "colds", -esp. upper respiratory viruses!] Maybe peroxide is healthier, but I don't know that it really works. Bleach WORKS. Try it two parts water, one part bleach, or 3 to 1 (1/4) may even do it.
We have a cat. The first line of flea defense is to take care of her! [Temperature is still too warm outside now!] Kitty gets a good combing every night! She's a flea MAGNET! I use a lice comb my daughter needs once in a while. It's perfect. [A lady on you tube showed me this, by the way, God bless her!] Take a pot of boiling water to the tub and set it on a milk crate [etc.] in there. As you comb the cat, you'll get a flea in the comb, and instantly you dip the comb [with flea on it] in the hot water. Often you'll get two or three in a swipe. If you don't move fast, they'll hop off the comb. But they usually seem "stunned" to be pulled from their "fur world", so you'll have a (long) moment before they can react... If they do jump, they may fall in the tub, where you can have a few cups of warm water handy to dump into the tub to try to wash them down the drain. A dozen fleas on kitty last night, only six tonight... Gotta keep at it! Good luck y'all!
[btw, the dish soap inna water trap DON'T work for me.]
Snap that is exactly what I was thinking. Wait until the the winter then open the window in each room with the door closed and freeze them out. They can't hide with the freezing cold air going everywhere.
But I heard that the cold doesn't kill the eggs. So when the eggs the flea problems still continues
