Some of the suggestions I found include:
- Vacuuming at least twice a week to suck fleas and their larvae up before they hatch. You may need to seal your vacuum bag shut afterwards so that the fleas don't crawl out again, and place a few moth balls inside it to kill them.
- Apparently fleas don't like eucalyptus oil among many things, so I plan to distribute drops of it on our mattresses to repel them.
- Placing a bowl of soapy water on the floor overnight with a desk lamp shining over it and turning all other lights off. In the morning there are supposed to be a multitude of fleas in the water - worth a try! Does anyone have a desk lamp I could borrow?
If you've any other natural ideas I can try, do let me know.
