In this guide we shall study a natural and gentle yet effective method of eliminating fleas in the carpet fast.
Fleas in the carpet kill with salt.
The vacuum can suck up adult fleas and larvae as well as eggs.
You may prefer to grind your salt into a powder form in a blender or coffee grinder when using it to kill fleas in your carpets.
As the fleas larvae and eggs are likely to have sunk deep into the carpet brush the surface of the carpet with a broom so that the salt reaches deep where these insects are present.
As you may already know salt is a dehydrating agent.
The fleas will be gone.
Allow the salt to sit over night or for several hours before vacuuming again.
While fleas are more of a problem in the summer months for pet owners they can be a problem all year round.
Vacuuming and steam cleaning the carpet and furniture after the salt treatment can be a final push to eliminate the critters from your home.
Step 4 once you have done this do not be in a hurry to remove the salt.
Using a brush or broom gently work the salt into the carpet fibers.
I personally don t think it makes any difference and it might even be a little more difficult to vacuum it up but use whichever way suits you.
Lemon has a lot of benefits.
Let it sit for a couple of days and then hoover your carpet.
Before you even do any of that though ensure that your carpet can handle the salt treatment.
The longer you can leave the salt in the carpet the more likely it is that that fleas or flea larvae will encounter it.
It can be a helpful weapon in your battle against fleas.
