I agree with Mrsfoote, SALT works on carpets well, been doing that for years. I also like the Adams flea bombs, very effective.
I was given a home remedy that is more natural to use on the animals vs all those chemical flea treatments (that do get absorbed into the animals skin) and it is very effective, and not to mention, more friendly to your budget.
Wash the animal in blue dawn dishwashing soap. It works as a degreaser and removes any ticks and fleas. You will see them dropping of as you shampoo with it and when you rinse.
Second, you have to put the oils back into their skin and coat. Get a small bottle of pure lavender oil, pour it into the cheapest and biggest bottle of baby shampoo, mix well. Wash the animals with the baby shampoo mixture next.
To use as a daily or weekly repelent, get a bottle of the cheapest mouthwash you can find, and put in a spray bottle and spray it like you would any other flea spray.
Taking care of the fleas in the house and on the animals................. you also need to treat the yard. I use the Adams Flea Dip for the chickens and ducks and our flea problem is very minimal.
Hope you can use these tips.
