The chemicals used in common flea and tick control products are highly toxic to both canine and human health. We strongly recommend before you reach for those harmful pesticide to first try the following tips for naturally eliminating fleas from your home, yard and dog.

Clean Your Dog's Bedding

One of the best ways to combat the flea problem naturally is to wash all animal bedding frequently. Fleas are reported to lay up to 60 eggs per day, so the more you wash your dog's bedding area, the better. We recommend washing the dog's bedding at least once a week.

When washing and drying your beloved pet dogs bedding, use the hot water temperature setting on your washing machine and set the dryer to hot as well. You may also place borax powder in your washing machine detergent. Borax is a very effective and common natural remedy for fleas. Depending on the size of your dog and the size of his bedding, you may not be able to fit the bedding in the washing machine. If this is the case, take the bedding outside and hose it down with a garden hose and soap. Fleas will drown in the water and they cannot breathe in soapy water. So no matter what method you use to clean your dogs bed, you are sure to kill some or most of the fleas hanging out in that particular area.
