You cannot rid your pet of fleas by treating him or her alone. Most of the flea population lives and develops in your house and yard, not on your pet. Treating the environment your pet lives in is essential if you want to win this war.

Vacuuming and washing the hard floors often daily during the height of flea season is the most natural way to control fleas. This will remove most of the adults, and some eggs and larvae. The larvae don’t like light, so vacuum under furniture and around baseboards anywhere near your pet’s favorite places to lie or sleep. Remember to remove the bag and discard it in a sealed plastic bag after use.

Some infestations, however, are just too much to be controlled by vacuuming alone, and not everyone has the time to clean all the floors daily. That’s when we recommend using one or more of the natural powders available for ridding your home of fleas. The least toxic substances available for this are diatomaceous earth and boric acid products.

Fleabusters can be used on carpeting, on the pet’s bedding, on furniture and on hard floors. It is a very fine powder similar in consistency to talcum powder, so it gets into cracks and crevices on hardwood and linoleum floors easily. It acts quickly and a difference in the flea population can be noticeable in 24-48 hours. Diatomaceous earth, however, does not last as long as the boric acid products. Monthly applications are recommended in areas with heavy flea populations, especially during the height of flea season.

Boric acid products, such as Fleabusters , work in a similar fashion to the diatomaceous earth by dehydrating the fleas. When applied correctly, they offer protection for up to a year or more as they remain deep in the carpet fibers. This means that these are very economical products to use. Fleabusters may also be used on hard floors as the powder is fine enough to reach into cracks and crevices well. All visible powder must be worked into the carpet, floor or furniture well with a broom or rake, and any remaining visible powder should be vacuumed up. Boric acid kills flea larvae, but is not as effective at killing the adults, so you may not see the results for 2-6 weeks while the adult population dies off. During the initial weeks after application, it is helpful to vacuum frequently to kill the adult fleas. Boric acid products are more toxic than diatomaceous earth products as well, so do not use them directly on dogs or cats.
