Flea Remedy Treatment

A home remedy for fleas focuses on the following key areas: 

Stopping the infestation of these blood sucking, disease carrying parasites.

Healing flea bites before they turn infected.

Using the least toxic methods available.

Fleas carry blood borne diseases and blood parasites that have been implicated in cancer later in life. Any insect that feeds on blood has the potential to do great harm to people. A serious fever can occur from being bit by a flea. 

Treatment
If you have a heavy flea infestation do the following:
Buy at least two 4-oz bottles of eucalyptus oil. Put several teaspoons in a carpet shampoo machine and kill all of the fleas. They hate this aromatic oil. Then sprinkle plain table salt or Epsom salts around the edges of the sofa, or where you think best. Vacuum up the salt in two days and you will see the dead fleas in the vacuum cleaner. (You can also bathe your pet with some of the oil mixed in shampoo. The scent will remain on his skin and deter more fleas from biting. (Keep the oil out of the animals eyes, it will really sting!) 

Put some mildly scented eucalyptus oil water in a spray bottle and lightly spray the chairs and sofa. 

Make sure you treat the yard with salt or else they will come right back in. Keep the grass cut low. Consider keeping your pet inside for a couple of days to let the the salt kill the fleas. 

Treat any fleabites with Neosporin ointment, or colloidal silver ointment to prevent them from getting infected and leaving scars.
