For the soap in the tray, don't forget to place a hot lamp facing directly over the tray because the fleas are attracted to heat & will fall into the soap which will kill them.
I use LED night lights , so it is the light they are attracted to... they are very attracted to heat as well, you can place a heating pad under the metal pan and eliminate the need for light...or do both. I have small plastic trays under electrical outlets that have LED night lights in them, I have been getting about 100+ fleas each night per tray and I have 12 set up.... About to start chemical warfare next, I intend to win this war!
It does work & the heat lamp's a good idea as long as it don't get knocked over in the water, especially if your pet is able to be where it's sitting on the floor. I have been doing it for yrs w/warm tap water & Dawn dish soap but it's cold in a few hours. Anything's worth a try & hopefully will attract a lot more...just without the heat lamp! Thank you for sharing!
For the people wondering. No, citric acid is not toxic to animals unless they eat large amounts of it. Also garlic is harmful in LARGE DOSES. Small doses are fine. These are helpful ways of stopping and preventing flea infestations.
Garlic in steady small amounts must be very beneficial to their health because the disinformation from msm is off the rails. Also the Egyptians gave garlic to their pets to stop fleas. Haha msm! You missed erasing that bit.
Mom always dedicated garlic and onions to our springer spaniel..she used it to stuff ducks and then took it out after cooking the ducks and feeding it to the dog..never got sick..
@@datsyhoehoe dogs have about the same tolerance to garlic that humans do. That myth was based on a single study in which researches gave dogs so much garlic even humans would have significant side effects.
yo guys i just filled my bathtub with warm water then put some kids bubbley shampoo in there then mixed it and then i put my cat in there until she started to meow then when i took her out i flipped her and i saw a ton of dead fleas and blood and i grabbed a tweaser and picked em up and dropped them into the sink drain thingy!!! :D im really happy that worked and some fleas survived but they are really weak and slow!! i hope she feels much better!
get a flea collar stretch it to activate if directions say to, cut up the collar, stick the pieces in the vacuum bag then vacuum the fleas up they will all die
With the pan of water method, instead of heating the water, you can also attach one of those clamp lights to the pan with an incandescent bulb. Shine the light on the water. It will keep it warm and attract fleas. All you have to do then is add a little water every day and it will kill fleas continually until you don't need it anymore.
Thank you Andrew. Glad to see a professional help video. I will be trying some of these tonight. It's freaking me out. They're all around our house! Need them gone! One three year old and one 2 week old. Wish me luck..
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about! While the citrus may be safe to apply to an animal, feeding them garlic is not!! Garlic is toxic to dogs!!! Garlic and other members of the allium family, including onions, contain thiosulfate, which is toxic to dogs!!!!!!! www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic/#:~:text=Garlic%20might%20be%20good%20for,dogs%20but%20not%20to%20humans.
I tried every natural way to get rid of fleas the only thing that works is capstar or comfortis. Anyting else is a waste of money. Farmer boy boric acid and TE food grade is the only natural way to get rid of fleas in your carpet and home. Garlic and onions are very toxic to dogs and especially cats. You have to be very careful with cats most essential oils are very toxic to our babies. The the safest to get rid of fleas are Rosemary and chamomile .
I use a white dish with a desk lamp shining right into it. If you wave your hands in front of it at night, you can actually see the fleas jumping into it. The movement in front of the light really attracts them.
Thank you for your presentations. We have an older dog and we have been wondering how to treat her for fleas safely. We are also beekeepers and would ask you for natural options for environmental treatments that might be less problematic for bees. Thanks again for your presentations.
Backing soda and borax detergent mix together and with a soft cheap brush at dollar tree paint the dry powder on the corner of your kitchen floor and bathroom floor. Leave on for a few days and vacuum or sweep the powder. Also dry paint the same your bed and all around the bedroom. Leave for a few hours and vacuum the bed. This will discard all fleas and ticks. It's also safe to use the same ingredients on your pet dog for it works on their skin as well and it's safe.
Your remedy is the best by far. 1. Bath 2. Apply citrus to her coat 3. clove of garlic per day in her meal. And a lot of cleaning that does no one any harm. Thank you for your very low cost per consultation of treatment. Yay the Aussies.
my mother in law had a bad infestation years ago and they seemed to be breeding in the sandy soil under the house. So she got a bunch of salt and mixed into the soil and that took care of it
Salt kills them. Thats cheap. I hav to sprinkle it, leave it to work, hoover that up. Then do it again, as often as u need , dirty little itchy. Horrible things.

Garlic is okay in small amounts: An article on garlic by The American Kennel Club states, “Studies have found it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilograms of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood.” This means an 85 lb. Labrador retriever would need to eat 152 cloves of garlic before it becomes toxic for them.
I put the derby from the vacuum in plastic bag, then in the freezer for an hour . I put it in the trash. I also put in for over night. Steam clean the carpet, but if you have wool carpet. Do not steam, nor shampoo. It will absorbs the water.
What about using borax laundry granules outside and water it in until you can break up egg cycles? I also put liquid laundry soap in a hose end sprayer and spray a solution all around the house to make it less flea friendly. I also broadcast in pet areas diatomaceous earth outside and dust my pets with it, we can get it at feed stores in 50lb bags.. The fleas will hitch hike on the bottom of our pants legs here in the Southern uSA.
That was fantastic. I've been using cider vinegar with lemon juice, topped up with water as a spray, but it is simply NOT killing them. I will try the three citrus, but as someone said below, cats don't like citrus.. and I've got cats.. not dogs.. .But we'll give it a go and see.
I've had good luck with the lit plastic mesh sticker traps. The fleas do seem attracted to the light, so they'll fall through the mesh and get stuck on the sticker. That and diluting a bit of apple cider vinegar in water for pets seems to have brought things under control. With cats, I'm leery of putting any poisoned water in dark corners of the house where they may drink from if able. A citrus bath will make them hate you forever.
you can also mix vinegar and water and spray your dogs to keep fleas away. you can also mist your carpet to help with flea control. Please check carpet to make sure it will not stain it.
Since garlic is significantly more concentrated than an onion, an even smaller ingested amount will likely lead to toxicosis-as little as one clove of garlic can lead to toxicity in dogs and cats.
@@rosemarydudley9954 yeah to each their own pet at the owner's discretion. The information about it at the time when I looked was all over the place on whether or not it was alright in what quantities. If you want to then it's your choice. Don't want to it's your choice. It's on you.
We found few mothball crystals in paper bags put under the furniture suffocated the fleas and then just vacuum them up. IF you have to put a few small crystals in the vacuum container and after emptying container take garbage out as soon as possible
Pattie Boon ...Powdered garlic is fine in very small measured. I think vets. always blame "stuff" on kidney failure. It's the best way for them to make money. My 12y.o. dog has garlic powder in about 4 feeds a week. (he's fed twice a day)
Thank you for video, Andrew. Please keep in mind this guy is an exterminator, not a veterinarian. Definitely talk to your vet about giving your pet garlic-or just don't give it to them. Simple. There are a lot of great products out there for flea repellent for pets. I liked the video.
WhatNow858 ... I have had my rescue dog for 2.5yrs. from the age of 10(ish). I have ALWAYS put 1/2 tspn. garlic powder in in meals about 4 times a week. N.B. He's still alive ha ha ha ha ha. My horse also had it and I also have it. Do get the powdered garlic and don't give fresh...too toxic.
The lemon juice did however work perfectly ! I surrounded their territory so they couldn't spread through all the rooms after which I attacked them with a killer-spray which I stumbled upon while being in a shop. They all died that day and no flee tried to enter my house again...
Kourttneex3 Hi , the spray was a cheap & very toxic one , which I was instructed to use/spray only under furniture where my cat would never walk or be... a week after spraying I bought 4 cans of a animal-saver-spray at a local pet shop which does no harm to my cat or me... the lemon juice I bought at a supermarket (grocery store) in a plastic squeeze bottle and that I sprayed here and there in the infested area but "bordered" the door inside and outside so it would be to afraid/disgusted by the lemon smell that it would stay in the room. I marked every room at the door until this big-lemon-sized bottle was empty - you should border-up the uninfected rooms with lemon juice first before applying the spray , this way the cannot "escape" (their fate mhoohahahaha ! (evil laugh)) success kourtnee (btw. It was summer and very hot - good weather for flees) but I give a pipette of frontline (bought at the doctor) every month... and if your cat doesn't like to be rubbed over his-her tummy/stomach than maybe she has worms - also use frontline for 15 different worms - my cat is lean now and has no more belly pain.. again success oh yea, 1 more thing - iheartdogs.com/if-your-dog-or-cat-ever-does-this-go-to-the-vet-immediately/
Very well done presenting material. Will try all the things you have said. Although it's going to be on a boat. If you have any other suggestions on ridding fleas on boat other than sinking it let me know. Thanks
pure lemon juice with white vinegar and a spoonful of baking powder. Wash the dog with lots of soapy water leave 5 minutes rinse off and repeat. dry the dog and use the above in a spray. No more fleas.

That's ok. Just put a couple of heaping tablespoons of DE in there. Some folks say to put in salt. I do both just to cover my bases. At any rate, do NOT empty your bag or bagless vacuum inside the house. Do it in the driveway far away from the house.
Garlic belongs to the Allium family (which also includes onion, chives, and leeks) and is poisonous to dogs and cats. Garlic is considered to be about 5-times as potent as onion and leeks. ... While tiny amounts of these foods in some pets, especially dogs, may be safe, large amounts can be very toxic.
Yes another person who caught this. I've seen my dogs chew a bite or so of chives in person and then spit them out when fleas have been a problem. Unfortunately we humans don't know how to dose a dog as well as thousands of years of evolution.
I live in Florida, I have scant grass and mostly sand. Is there anything I can do to treat the sand where my dogs use the bathroom and are there plants that I can use around the border to deture fleas? Thanks
Onions, garlic, chives, and leeks are in the Allium family, and are poisonous to both dogs and cats if the dose is right (if they eat a single large serving or repeatedly nibble on small amounts over time). Garlic is considered to be about five times as toxic as onions for cats and dogs.
My cat is okay with baths but I don't want to bathe her too much, I take a nit and lice comb and run it through her hair, dip it in hot water to kill the fleas that come out, wipe the comb off with paper towels and keep running through until I see no more fleas.
So, it seems like this whole wall post is nothing but filled with (is my pet safe from XX foods) statements. If any are wondering, I'll spare you the trouble of possible future hate and disagreement chats: 1) Garlic, onion, and citrus can be toxic to animals, and can be not toxic in little quantities; it depends. Some sites says so, others say no. In my experience my pets did fine with little quantities, in others' pets maybe not. It's like allergies in humans, some die by a bee sting, and others are fine. It's your choice whether to do this or not. The End.
You are so correct, he said one clove not the whole garlic and little is not harmful and he didn't say feed it everyday, just to rid them and wash your babies people...mine are flea and tick free and so healthy, both of them, even with garlic once in awhile...no croaking in my family of furry babies, maybe stinky farts and breath.
I read that you shouldn’t give cats garlic because it’s toxic to them. He said to put it in the dog food and didn’t mention cats, so I wanted to warn the cat owners out there.
Our holistic vets here in the US say that 1 tea spoon of chopped/minced garlic is not harmful to dogs. I've read that garlic is toxic to dogs, but apparently, this is not the case.
This is the most ridiculous video. Citrus is TOXIC FOR CATS and should under no circumstances be rubbed on their coat. It could kill them. This video should be taken down as it's dangerous for pets.
Citrus (oranges, tangerines, clementines, grapefruit, lemons, limes): Although the fruit itself may not cause digestive distress, citrus plants are toxic to dogs and cats.
Add a green light bulb to a desk lamp and place that near the detergent water dish. Also at night, place a house plant near the dish. Fleas are attracted to carbon dioxide.
Plants produce O2 I thought? Maybe not the O2 'produced, per se, but maybe the fact that since plants utilize the CO2 in the air to MAKE the O2 - would mean higher concentrations of CO2 right around the plant as it absorbs it from the air? Maybe? What about salt and/or baking soda? Oh, and "DAWN" dish liquid! Its 'supposed' to be okay for animals to wash with >>> AS LONG as its ALL rinsed off well. The thing to remeber to do when going to give your cat a bath (yes, a BATH - which takes a GREAT deal of patience! But if you have a flea infested cat that is ALSO allergic to flea dander [poor thing!], once finished and out of the water > that cat will show SUCH relief and literally have 'thank you' all on their face expression and in their eyes. They will calm down and just begin to enjoy the nice and light but firm rub around with a clean dry towel, while sitting in front of a quiet space heater. They'll also love the treats they get as reward for having to go thru all that mess, and while giving them the treat, or while you hold them like a little baby all swaddled (so they cant take your face off) you can use a micro-comb to go thru their fur all over and have some running water near to frequently rinse the comb after ei many brushes or anytime you see dead fleas leftover or the clear/opaque looking flea eggs. DEFINITELY the eggs - most important!!!
Thank you so much I'm going to try this because my little Chihuahua we cannot get rid of the fleas to save our life on him we give him baths 1-2 times a week and he's got the flea collars I've tried the oral flea tablets and no matter what we do he always has fleas on him we have a indoor cat also and two dogs outside but there's nothing on them it's just the Chihuahua~
Yeah I do need a life but I like being a troll too and that's perfect I live in Hawthorne. Let's meet up have some coffee, a nice chat then we can have fun?
Fleas are attracted to warmth, not light. Warmth and vibration (a potential food source walking by) Best solution is to Foster your pets out into a flea-safe/treated environment while you treat your home. As long as fleas have a food source, they will cocoon and lie in wait. Humans are not a food source for fleas however they do take tastes… That’s why we get bitten.
+classiclistener01 No it's not. Do better research. They shouldn't be eating large doses of garlic, but, a small amount, everyday is very beneficial. I've brought back to health, MANY a sick and neglected dog and I've included garlic in every one of those dogs' diets. EVERYTHING runs risk in this life, for us AND for our furry friends. WATER is toxic to mammals (even humans) in large doses. Moderation has always been key.
+Taylor Pinkham The fucker bitching like a prissy little princess is so annoying that I'll make a point to spread the word of "a clove of garlic a day keeps your pet's fleas away" to as many pet owning people as possible. I invite everyone to do the same.
***** well u write like a woman on eternal heat who's not gettin any fuckin. I'm always right, but one gotta have brains 2 see it, n gotta b kind enough 2 admit it. I called you "names" cause u deserved it. Ur a blast of annoyance n someone gotta cut u off. U'r here 2 help??? THAT"S FAB!!!! Than fuckin DO IT! Start by learning NOW that u can only help if u TREAT PEOPLE WELL. U have a good one, vet tech. A good day n a good fuckin.
have all the women out there caught themselves watching this more than once just to hear this guy talk? lol!! if he's willing to come to the U.S. he can keep all the fleas out of my house. after all, we have a lot of warm weather in florida, and fleas can get pretty bad here in summer time.
Food grade (NOT the swimming pool stuff) diocenous earth works very well, put some of this powder on around whereever the pet sleeps or spends the most time, eventually it will kill all bugs. It wont hurt the pet at all, they can even eat it no problem. dont get it wet or damp it wont work after that

+Carla Bishop yeah that works the dishsoap prevents them from getting out and if it is blue original dawn it wont harm the pets if they take a taste (after that they probably wont want anymore anyway)
I'm robin from Wisconsin we bought flea traps and the sticky pads that go into the traps they really work and you wouldn't believe how many fleas you get I made a mistake I said fleet farm ) its farm and fleet just ask some one they could show you where they are check them out
I have citrus essential oils in my house. Can I put a few drops on the back of the cat's head & brush it in? She's allergic to pyrethrin in a lot of spot ons. I have bermagot, lime, lemongrass, & sweet orange to work with.
