RUB FLEAS OUT
To eliminate fleas, there is this amazing substance called diatomaceous earth, which you can get at health stores and some garden centres. It is a chalk-like rock that is harmless to us but attaches itself to the flea’s waxy coating and causes it to dehydrate within 48 hours. It can be rubbed into your pet’s fur or feathers, and I use it on my chickens and dogs. Sprinkle it around your pet’s bedding, in the cracks of your floorboards, on the carpet or anywhere else you think fleas might be hiding.
It is also good for killing slugs and snails in the garden.
