get rid of fleas

You have pets in your home, you could also have PESTS called fleas. You can't walk across your carpet without getting bitten. They've infested your furniture, your carpet, your bedding. It's embarrassing, you can't have company. What do you do??

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Borax
  • Vaccuum Cleaner
  • Time
  • Flea treatment for your pets
  1. Step 1

    Remove all pets from your home. I recommend taking them to a groomer or vet for the day to be bathed and dipped.

  2. Step 2

    In the morning, before leaving for the day, sprinkle the Borax generously over the carpet, furniture and mattresses. (Wash your bedding). Let the Borax sit for a day.

  3. Step 3

    When you get home, vaccuum everything well and empty the vaccuum bag.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not let your pets back into the house until all of the Borax is completely vaccuumed.
  • Use a flea treatment on your pets such as Advantage to prevent fleas from reinfesting your home.
