Does Baking Soda Kill Fleas?
And Other Solutions for Getting Rid of This Pest
If you have fleas in your home, you’ll try just about anything to get rid of them. You’ll find plenty of options in the store, and surely you’ve read as many articles online that you can find (is that how you found us?).
But when it comes to DIY solutions, what really works?
Not baking soda...
Unfortunately, this common household product is not the solution to your flea issue. Yes, baking soda can dry out an environment, thus helping to eliminate adult fleas, but flea control must attack all life cycles or else they'll just keep coming back.
So, what works?
Professional help. When it comes to the protection of your furry friends and family, don't delay in calling for help. Proper flea control starts with professional treatment followed by at-home cleaning and care!
What can I do?
With the help of professional treatment and the following guidelines, you'll have your pets and home back to normal in no time!
- Vacuum every day and clean out your vacuum after each use.
- Did the fleas come in on a pet? Follow your vet’s instructions. You’ll most likely be advised to wash your pet with a special shampoo and use a flea comb.
- Mow your grass to an appropriate height and keep your yard tidy because fleas like to live where there are plenty of places to hide.
- Use a Flea & Tick Program to control the population around your home
- Wash all your clothes and bedding on the highest temperature allowable to help kill eggs.
