Fleas are annoying pests that can really get on your nerves. They bite not only their animal hosts, but the humans in the area too. See below for proven methods of flea treatments.
Flea Treatments & Repellents
Fall can be the worst time for fleas and ticks for several reasons. Fleas don’t function well in extremely hot summer weather or extremely cold winter weather. Fleas generally thrive in temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees, but they can survive in temperatures as low as 30 degrees.
Natural Flea Repellents
Fleas have a strong sense of smell, which they use to find accessible food sources. You can take advantage of this trait by using scents they dislike, such as cedarwood, mint, vinegar, clove oil, citrus, DEET, lemongrass oil, and rosemary oil.
