How to naturally eradicate fleas from fur family, furniture, and all.

How to naturally eradicate fleas from fur family, furniture, and all.

Are you dealing with an active flea scenario currently?

Eradicating an infestation is challenging, and keep our fur and human family safe from chemicals is a top priority. Here are some wonderful natural tools to consider (and if you have used and have feedback on any of them, please do share at the end of this article): 

  • Natural Flea Elimination Sprays (that kill fleas, not just repel, like Wondercide products (safe for pets and children) and is applicable directly to pets' coats and to household items/furniture, yards, etc.)
  • Kin+Kind Shampoo: for the pups that have active flea sightings
  • Flea Comb: and dip it in the Wondercide to comb through affected pups after shampoo treatment.
  • AnimalEO Bomb: Requires special diffuser for per-room treatment, and evacuation of area for people and pets for instructed periods of time.
  • Ultra Violet Light C Spectrum: https://pestcontrolweekly.com/does-uv-light-kill-fleas/
  • Non-Toxic Flea Trap/Lure: (Read reviews, but have never met a parent or consulting vet who has used this.)
  • 20 Mule Team Borax for rugs: it is reported to dry out flea eggs after a couple of days, then vacuum up (and clean out bagless vacuum or throw out vacuum bag if yours has one.)
  • Max & Molly Soundshield Ultrasonic (device emits ultrasonic sound waves that are inaudible to humans and dogs, but irritate the nervous system of pests, deterring them from staying on and hanging around your pet: BUT reading the reviews, it may be ineffective for the larger properties/higher-pest-risk scenarios, and it also has a green blinking light that may scare the pups.)
  • Vacuum cleaners! Be sure to clean/detail your vacuum cleaner chamber, brush, and, if it has a bag, dispose/replace the bag. Also, do not allow house cleaning companies' and services' to use their vacuum cleaners (bagless or not) as it may increase risk of flea and/or flea egg transfer from other houses/properties. 
  • Treat the perimeter of your home and yard with food-grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE).  (DE will kill the beneficial nematodes that are listed next, so use DE only on the property perimeter to keep the nematode application alive and thriving.)
  • Use Beneficial Nematodes for the yard for fleas, ticks and mosquitos+++ (DE, shown above, will kill the nematodes, so use DE only on the property perimeter to keep the nematode application alive and thriving.)
And, a LAST resort/idea to discuss with your own veterinarian (preferably a integrative/holistic practitioner): A non-natural solution Woof Creek has never used but has heard of, is a fast-acting chemical flea-kill (for emergency) product that only stays in pups' systems for 24 hours, called CapStar. It would be a break in the flea cycle (that are on your pets; but bedding, carpet, etc. must still be diligently handled so that once the chemical is out of pets' systems, you don't have live fleas from bedding jumping back on pets...) THEN, to counter the toxicity levels with all-natural detox ingredients and protocols, like Dr. Karen Becker offers, such as milk thistle and chlorella and other adaptogens as shown here by Dr. Katie Woodley
 

After a flea infestation is conquered, learn more about these proactive, all natural tools, as the natural path is multi-leveled, but well worth it.
