Does engine black oil get rid of fleas?

Fleas are insects. They breathe by means of spiracles, which are simply holes in their sides. Water doesn't block spiracles because of surface tension. But organic solvents are deadly to insects. Black engine oil is foul and dirty. Don't even think about pouring it all over your pet. Instead bathe your pet in flea soap.

Isopropyl alcohol will kill fleas when spritzed directly on them, and it is harmless to everybody.

How do you get rid of earwigs in your basement?

First, in nature, earwigs are food for birds; but unfortunately, earwigs also eat plants and as you have seen, they can get into your basement, usually seeking a damp environment. To keep them out requires more than spraying, although extermination can certainly help. Make sure you fill any cracks where they might be getting in (including around windows), and make sure none of your basement pipes have even a slight leak (earwigs look for damp conditions). As for spraying, make sure you spray all baseboards, and also use a spray that has residual effects;it is also good to spray later in the day, since earwigs come out at night. You may benefit from buying an over-the-counter crawling insect spray, or you can call a licensed professional exterminator-- they are allowed to use a stronger chemical than you can purchase in a store.

How do you use soap on your lawn to kill mosquitos?

*** Soap bubbles kill mosquitoes immediately. ***

What's happens is that as soon as a mosquito comes in contact with a soap bubble, due to surface tension of soap his whole body is absorbed in bubble. The wings, legs get stuck to the body and the mosquito is unable to fly. The mosquito which is soaked in bubble falls down on ground. Also soap liquid kills mosquito larvae in unused water lying nearby.

We should heavily spray areas infested with mosquitoes with tiny soap bubbles of the size of mosquito during the time when they are about to fly and attack human habitats, mostly evenings. Also killings mosquitoes in their habitats is the best strategy than trying to kill them in our homes. Remove the roots like larvae with soap water.

This is the cheapest and pollution free way to control mosquitoes and malaria.

How do you treat fleas on puppies?

Just use a flea shampoo and then a collar after wards or one of those flea prevention meds you add to their food.

If you have a severe infestation on your puppy or in your house, I suggest talking with a veterinarian or a professional pest exterminator.
