What are some home remedies for killing fleas?

Home remedies for getting rid of fleas include sprinkling table salt or diatomaceous earth into your carpet and vacuuming it up after a period of time. It takes vigilance to rid a home completely of fleas, and even with treatment, it can take an owner several months to become flea free.

Fleas can be killed from pets by filling a tub with lukewarm water and enough dish-washing detergent to create plenty of suds. Once a cat or dog has been placed into enough water to cover their bodies, the fleas that survive will gravitate towards the head. A flea comb can then be used to comb out the fleas from the face.
