Diatomaceous Earth for Fleas Without Diatomaceous Earth fleas can be a difficult infestation to get rid of, especially if you have pets that bring fleas into your home or yard. Fleas are very uncomfortable to pets and people, and this typically makes them a high priority to remove from the home. The hard part is that in order to completely remove an infestation of fleas, even a small one, will require treatment of your home, yard and pets. Lucky for you, you have found Diatomaceous Earth that will help you eliminate fleas in an inexpensive, safe and very effective manner. Diatomaceous earth is a great way for you to eliminate fleas in the home because you can purchase it in large quantities and at a very reasonable price. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) kills fleas and other insects like bed bugs naturally and without harmful chemicals. Diatomaceous Earth kills physically by causing tiny lacerations to the insectâs body and absorbing its moisture causing it to dehydrate and die.

You also need enough to treat your home, pets and yard if you are to eliminate the infestation entirely, otherwise the fleas will just come back. Fleas and other insects have a tendency to work up immunity to many insecticides as well, making it even harder to remove them and keep them away. It is very simple to use DE to remove a flea infestation. Just purchase enough to spread the dust throughout your yard, carpet and pets bedding etc. You donât need very much as it only requires a light dusting to be effective. Be sure to lightly dust anywhere there might be fleas or you have noticed fleas including dusting your pets. You can gently brush the diatomaceous earth into their fur and it will take care of any insect infestation they have. Within about a day or so the fleas will begin dying and your problem will be solved.

Have always had my bets luck with the Advantage product, monthly treatment. Once I realized I had a problem, I tried Frontline thinking the fleas has developed a resistance to the Advantage. That didn't work. I still have fleas. A friend, and fellow breeder, suggested the dogs may have dry, itchy skin. That's not the problem. While applying skin/coat conditioner, I examined the dogs carefully. I have fleas! The dogs don't have bedding. I live in the country and they all run together and lay where they plop down. However, I regularly treated the concrete, the outside walls and the foliage around the house with Pyrethrum, as it knocks down the mosquitoes, and I'm sure the fleas too. What should I do? Should I get the 3-in-1 pill that takes care of all? Or, will dipping be my answer? Please give me your thoughts.
