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.
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!
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.
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!

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.
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 .
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)
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.
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'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.
+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.

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 😊
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.
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.
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/
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
...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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
+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 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
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~
How can I use coconut oil on my dog. She will be a greasey dirty mess.. she's 50lbs and black. And she will go roll in the grass and dirt.. yikes.. but I like the idea of natural !!
@@lorilaw2604 I have huskies. One was black and tan. Also a black lab abd Sheltie. Melting point of the oil is 70 degrees. So since it stays melted and soaks in, it is a 3 in 1 cure. You pour it in your hands. Pushing the fur backward, you let it roll down your hand to your finger tips. You rub it on their skin. Cats too. And try to get a thin layer over their whole body and face. It will absorb reasonably fast, but if too much is on the fur, towel them a bit before letting them go roll. If they eat it, that's fine. It's great for any mammal's health. I put some on, let it sit, then bathe them in a mix of half damn and half vinegar. I go over that with coconut oil shampoo then rinse

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?
Dr. Becker (Dr. Mercola's vet) has a video on this, only large amounts--she actually specifies in her video how much of a garlic clove per body weight can be mixed into their food for flea maintenance. Hope that helps.
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
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
I was wondering the same since oils in the rinds are supposedly toxic for cats. Has anyone done the 3 citrus fruit method? I'm curious how the cat reacted to it. Also, this video is 3 yrs old and i've since heard cumin in cat's food acts as a deterrent like garlic.
ACV (organic w/Mother) in their drinking water has been working pretty good, also for other things as preventative..I dilute 2 caps (acv bottle cap) to 3cps of water & change it daily...maybe that will help for now...
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

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.

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
Absolutely brilliant information. THANK YOU. 🤗
Yeah brilliant except garlic and onions and chives and citrus can be toxic to cats!
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.
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..
Thanks Andrew...have a wonderful 2023💙
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
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.

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! Start by learning NOW that u can only help if u TREAT PEOPLE WELL.
U have a good one, vet tech. A good day n a good fuckin.
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
This dude is a legend. You can tell he's been battling these little bastards for years.
I used the orange juice on my dog and it got rid of the fleas. Now he's got gnats! :-)
Thanks!!! Especially the pan with hot soapy water!
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 😊
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.
How did you add it to his food, raw or cooked? Just wondering if strong smell could be too much for ,dog.
You took your dog to the vet when you were 5? Cute
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.
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
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!!!
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.
Thanks very helpful. Does white vinegar mix with water during bath help to rid fleas from dogs?
Apple Cider
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
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.
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.
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 .
Fleas is an insect. Is it right. Fleas does have six legs and they are wingless, like ants.
You can drop a flea collar inside the dust cup or bag or dust retainer this helps.
Wow Ive never heard of these techniques! Very educational,Thanks
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
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 great video,thanks.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
...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
I use water only on tray and they drown.
I find about 20 dead ones every morning
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
Great tips 🎉 Thank you 😊
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
Many veterinarians say that garlic as well as onions are poisonous to pets!
It is..
place the tray of water under a night light, fleas are attracted to the light
Thank you Andrew. Huge help!
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.
Hello, Do I have to use Dawn dish detergent?
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
does it matter which brand of detergent? sorry for the stupid question lol thanks!
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.
Good tips. Thank you. I'm going to try these today. :)
I want to know if they can be on the bed
If your infected pet is on the bed then they are also. Too, you may carry them to your bed unknowingly. So yes, is the answer to that.
yes, in your shoes, toes, bedding, check and clean regularly
Yes
I don't even have pets and I got them twice in my bed
Rebirth Light same
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...?????
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??
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!
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 know this may be a silly question, but you blend the orange,lime, and lemon whole ? Or peeled? Seems like a thick mix that came out whole?
i was wondering the same thing, since he did not specify
The peel has properties in it that helps
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
Peppermint...
do you blend the peal with the fruit or just the internal part of the fruit?
Ben Callahan DO NOT USE CITRUS ON PETS. It is toxic. This exterminator knows nothing about pets
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?
do they get in ur hair ??
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.
Are Australian pets different? Apple cider vinegar with water. Coconut oil. Dawn and water. Borax in the grass
How can I use coconut oil on my dog. She will be a greasey dirty mess.. she's 50lbs and black. And she will go roll in the grass and dirt.. yikes.. but I like the idea of natural !!
@@lorilaw2604 I have huskies. One was black and tan. Also a black lab abd Sheltie. Melting point of the oil is 70 degrees. So since it stays melted and soaks in, it is a 3 in 1 cure. You pour it in your hands. Pushing the fur backward, you let it roll down your hand to your finger tips. You rub it on their skin. Cats too. And try to get a thin layer over their whole body and face. It will absorb reasonably fast, but if too much is on the fur, towel them a bit before letting them go roll. If they eat it, that's fine. It's great for any mammal's health. I put some on, let it sit, then bathe them in a mix of half damn and half vinegar. I go over that with coconut oil shampoo then rinse
Thanks for the advice! And thanks for caring for the environment... It's where I live too ;).
Cheers,

Thanks Andrew, will try this out
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....!!
Great information 👍🏾☝🏾💯
I like how hey says " Mkay "
Could we just use citric acid on the outside?
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?
Is it just me? Or is this guy hilarious 😂😂😂
"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.
Love some of your ideas, but isn't garlic toxic to dogs?
Dr. Becker (Dr. Mercola's vet) has a video on this, only large amounts--she actually specifies in her video how much of a garlic clove per body weight can be mixed into their food for flea maintenance. Hope that helps.
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?
Garlic is said to be toxic for cats
Wait do I peel the orange, lemon, and lime
OBVIOUSLY
you don't need to.. lol
you should for your blenders sake
but t
technically its not required
the peel has more sitrus than the meat
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.
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
Are you suppose to leave the 'peel' in tact when blending the 3 citrus fruits? pls advise. TIA!
I was wondering the same since oils in the rinds are supposedly toxic for cats. Has anyone done the 3 citrus fruit method? I'm curious how the cat reacted to it. Also, this video is 3 yrs old and i've since heard cumin in cat's food acts as a deterrent like garlic.
ACV (organic w/Mother) in their drinking water has been working pretty good, also for other things as preventative..I dilute 2 caps (acv bottle cap) to 3cps of water & change it daily...maybe that will help for now...
rub coconut oil or butter in their skin
Yes garlic and onions are toxic to dogs
Small amounts in food is ok
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
This is amazing!!
