Instructions
Pets
Wash the pet thoroughly in warm water and flea shampoo. You need not buy an expensive flea shampoo, as you aren't using this as the end-all-be-all flea-killing solution. It's just the beginning.
Comb the pet's hair with a flea comb. The flea comb removes any fleas missed during shampooing and also picks up flea eggs.
Soak the comb in water. The water kills the fleas and prevent the eggs from hatching.
Home
Locate any areas affected by fleas. These areas are most likely where the pets lay and rest.
Cover the area with an equal amount of baking soda and salt.
Allow the baking soda and salt to sit undisturbed overnight and vacuum it up in the morning.
Ongoing Treatment
Slice a whole lemon and put it in a pot.
Pour 12 oz. of boiling water into the pot.
Allow the mixture to sit overnight.
Discard the lemon slices and put the residual lemon water into a spray bottle.
Spray the mixture onto the pet.
