How to Get Rid Of Fleas In Your Home Naturally

Sure there are many instructions in getting rid of fleas off your dog or cat but how on earth do you tackle the carpeting and bedding in your home to prevent the re infestation? Here's a real simple method to kill them nasty fleas without fumigating your home.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Diatomaceous Earth

1. 

   Buy some Diatomaceous Earth (commonly called DE) from your local health food store or even on-line. Be sure it's food grade.

2. 

   Sprinkle the DE all around your home where you fear fleas may be hiding out.

3. 

   The DE is all natural. It's actually parts of a fossilized hard shelled algae so it will not harm your pets or children. (it's even safe to feed!)
   It works as if it were shards of glass cutting into the hard bodied parts of the insects causing them to dehydrate and die.

4. Vacuum your home and dispose of the dirt and fleas.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also sprinkle this directly onto your pets to kill fleas!
