When we adopted two shelter kitties, we checked them carefully for fleas. Unfortunately, their long fur must have hidden the signs. Within a few days at home, both kittens were visibly scratching, and I was worried.
I knew from a childhood experience how quickly fleas can spread from a pet throughout the entire home. Since time was of the essence, and I did not want to spray harmful chemicals inside my home, I began investigating natural options for getting rid of fleas. Along with that experience and others since then with other animals, I have learned a few lessons (some of them the hard way).
Here they are:
- Fleas reproduce rapidly. One female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day and as many as 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.
- Fleas can dwell in your carpet, in your bedding, in your furniture and in your floorboards for a surprisingly long time. Getting rid of fleas naturally involves treating multiple parts of your home.
- Fleas like warm, moist conditions, but they can survive in cold, dry conditions. They simply become inactive.
- If fleas are biting your pet, they will soon be biting you if you don’t do something.
