Remove fleas from pets using mild soap, dishwashing liquid, or specialized pet shampoo. For adult cats, where washing may be impractical, use a topical once-a-month flea liquid (has the benefit of controlling flea-spread heartworms and digestive worms).
If you sprinkle 20 mule team borax on the carpet (throw out dog and cat linen), wait two days and vacuum.... your house will be flea free. Fleas on the body are another issue..... try eating lots of garlic..... SERIOUSLY!
If you have pets, try washing them with down with dish soap and apple cider vinegar. Afterwards, use a flea comb to remove the dead and dying fleas.

∙ 13y agoIf you have an outside dog cut your grass. The flea may then die off. Then give your dog a bath with hot water. They will not like it but it will help greatly. Once your dog is flea-free you should give him a bath at least every 2 - 3 months. Flea bites should go away in time. If not you can buy a flea killer at a pet store.
Chemical flea shampoos are available today. If you're worried it might harm your pooch's skin, you can try natural alternatives. Some people use gentle soap and water. A paste made from Terramin clay or bentonite and water also works well. Other natural products you can use include:
- Neem oil - This plant's bark and leaves have anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiviral and antifungal compounds. Mix an ounce of it with four to six ounces of water and two or three ounces of white vinegar. Drench your dog with water then apply the mixture. To disperse the neem oil further, you can brush your dog.
- Red or white vinegar - It's germ-killing properties works great on dogs, and it's very safe to use. Just add four cups to your bath water. Make sure it doesn't get in your pet's eyes, though.
