Natural Methods To Get Rid Of Dog Fleas
Your dog lifts his clawed foot to his head and starts scratching his neck. You think, hmm, he has an itch, glad to see he can get to it. Then, you think, uh, it’s spring now, and I really, really hope he is not scratching to get rid of those nasty black creatures of Satan. So, you bend down, look at the dogs fur, and see flea waste. You immediately go into war mode. Your next few steps will determine what goes on your dog, in your house, and into the air you breath. Chemicals are fast, however, not all chemical products are created equal. And, you may just get your hands on some real junk, for quite a pretty penny. Scientific evidence has shown that fleas are conveniently adapting to the onslaught of chemicals that have been assaulting them in the past few decades. So, whatever you pay for may need to be applied multiple times and in higher concentrations than you ever thought necessary to actually “work”.
Before you decide to engage in chemical warfare with the black beasts, you may want to just take some of the safe, dog shampoo that you bought your pet, and produce a thick lather on his coat. The fleas will suffocate and drown in the foam. This works, no doubt about it. However, fleas didn’t get to be one of the most resilient animals on the planet by getting killed off with one bath. Fleas start laying eggs all over your house as soon as they get some blood out of your canine. So, while the adults may all be dead that were on the dog, there could be some freshly born fleas about to launch and invasion.
Some good natural flea shampoo can take care of the problem of adult fleas. Then you need some diatomaceous earth for fleas to work on the larvae in your carpets.
