Flea Traps - Try This Home Remedy for Eliminating Fleas in the House

Here's some ideas for you thrifty folks to try. I think these homemade traps work best at night when the room is quiet and empty.

TRAP #1

• Use a short lamp with a warm bright light bulb
• Place a bowl or pie dish with soapy water or soapy seltzer water under it

TRAP #2

• Leave the television on when you go to bed. (You can turn the sound off.)
• Place a bowl or pie dish with soapy water or soapy seltzer water in front of it.

TRAP #3

• Float a tealight candle in a bowl or pie dish with soapy water or soapy seltzer water.

TRAP #4

• Buy one! They come fully assembled for around $15 but you have to buy refills for around $2 each. They use light, heat and sticky paper.

WHY THEY WORK

Fleas are attracted to their host by heat, vibration, carbon dioxide and the soap in the water makes them sink so they can't float to the edge and climb out.

Although fleas can be attracted from up to 30 feet away with these traps, having one in each room may work best. Check the traps in the morning to see how many you collected and put fresh soapy water in the traps each day.

Note: Keep pets away from water since soapy water may upset their tummies.
