Step 5
Bathe your dog or cat thoroughly with a mild shampoo. Any kind of soap will kill fleas so you do not need to use a flea shampoo loaded with chemicals. Let the soap set for five to ten minutes before rinsing well.

After your pet's bath, comb out his or her coat with a flea comb to remove dead or dying fleas.

Step 8
Regularly spray your dog or cat with the homemade flea spray to kill fleas that are currently hitching a ride on you companion pet and to prevent new ones from coming. It’s a good idea to also spray your pet’s bedding or other areas of your home where your pet spends a lot of time.
