As long as fleas are on the outside of your home, in your lawn, there is a big chance that your free roaming dog or cat would catch fleas all over again. It is therefore necessary to remove fleas from your yard and from your lawn furniture as well. We are talking about getting rid off these parasites from the entire premises, inside and out. The flea larvae do not survive when flooded with water. Therefore, the easiest way to get rid of fleas from your lawn is to flood the entire lawn periodically to kill the parasites. The water also washes off the feces of adult fleas on which the larvae survive. In the rainy season, nature takes care of the problem. Spraying with non-toxic flea control and remover should be carried out regularly. If strong insecticides are used the dog may not be allowed to use the doghouse for a few days until the effect of the insecticides has faded. Not only do you need to disinfect the doghouse, but also any outdoor furniture. Fleas can and will jump on soft furniture and leave behind larvae that need to be killed. If the flea problem is still persistent then the use of beneficial nematodes is advisable. The nematodes feed on flea larvae but are harmless to humans. They are used as sprays and cause no damage to trees and plants. It may be possible to get rid of fleas naturally both inside and outside of your home by using diatomaceous earth, salt, or borax powder. Diatomaceous earth is a type of powder made from fossilized marine phytoplankton. It is safe for humans, but it is deadly to fleas. Salt and borax powder are two other methods often used to get rid of fleas naturally. You can sprinkle salt and borax on your floors in the same manner that you would with diatomaceous earth, and vacuum it all up after a few days. Borax and salt are both capable of dehydrating fleas that come in contact with it. Some people use a combination of both salt and borax for killing fleas rather than just one or the other. You can also sprinkle salt, borax, or diatomaceous earth around the outside of your house to help eliminate fleas from your yard. Insect Growth Regulators are viewed by some as a better alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides. They are often preferred because they are more selective, less harmful to the environment and more compatible with natural pest control methods. Insects are less likely to develop resistance to IGR's. There are different types of IGR that disrupt different stages of insect development. Whether these will be economically feasible for further testing and use, remains to be seen. Yard Work You can plant tansy, an herb, outdoors where your dog most often lays down. This will repel fleas. Cedar will also repel them but needs to be replenished often as it looses effectiveness quickly. Go to main page Flea Control Auckland for more details and reliable assistance
