Instructions
Measure 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil into the rinse water of your washing machine. The smell of eucalyptus essential oil is known to kill fleas and putting it into the rinse water is added protection for you when you put on your freshly laundered clothes. Fleas and their eggs cannot survive the dryer.
Pour Skin-So-Soft bath oil into your bath and then rub the oil all over your body after your bath and you are still a little damp. Skin-So-Soft by Avon is known to keep fleas and mosquitoes away.
Make up a spray bottle of 20 drops of pennyroyal essential oil to 8 ounces of water. Spray this around beds, sofas, chairs and on rugs. Fleas hate the smell and will stay away.
Sprinkle salt onto your carpets and leave it there for a few days. Vacuum it thoroughly and apply the salt once again. Leave salt down for two days then vacuum it up once again. All fleas and their eggs should be destroyed after treatment.
Sprinkle pennyroyal essential oil under your pet's regular collar to keep fleas off him, too. This means that you will be able to pet him without being bitten by fleas. Your pet will be thankful, too.
Leave a bowl of water directly under a night light. Fleas will be attracted to it and jump into the water and drown. Throw away the flea-infested water daily and replace it with fresh water.
