Eliminate Fleas from Your Home for Free

After your pet has been treated, you can safely and cheaply remove fleas from your home using an easy to do old home remedy.

Steps

After having your pet treated for fleas, you can eliminate fleas from your home easily, cheaply and safely.
Take regular dishes and set them on the floor approximately in the center of each affected room throughout the house. Usually one dish per room.
Fill each plate almost to the brim with water and then add a good squirt of dish washing liquid. Stir it up.
Next take one little tea candle and place it in the center of the plates. You should now have several plates filled almost to the brim with water and dish washing liquid sitting on the floor of each affected room with a small tea candle in each.
Now light the candles and find something to do while the light attracts the fleas. They will jump towards the light, become mired in the high viscosity of the soapy liquid and be trapped for easy disposal in the morning.
Do this for about 3 or 4 nights in a row and you will see many, many fleas in the water become none after only a few days.
- The total cost.... $1.00 for a pack of teas candles at the dollar store.
If that still doesn't kill them all, you can use a cheap flea fogger. Make sure that they are IGR compliant (Insect Growth Regulator) as this ensures that the flea eggs to not mature into fully grown fleas.
- PS - don't mention to your dinner guests that they're eating from fleas traps when they come to dinner.
- Easy, safe, (no-chemical)and cheap. If you don't burn the house down, you're home free.

If you choose the flea fogger route, make sure that you keep your pets outside until the entire process is complete, especially for animals like birds as they are very sensitive to chemicals.
Allowing smalls pets to roam freely while lit candles are burning on your floor is not suggested.
