Article: Fleas, eggs, and larvae can be found all over your house, and one of the best ways to get rid of them is by washing everything. This includes linens and bedding, towels, drapes, clothes, toys, and pet beds and mats. Run them through the washing machine using hot water. When you dry the loads, use the highest temperature settings to ensure you kill everything. Another effective way of removing flea eggs and larvae inside is by vacuuming. Use nozzles and attachments to get into nooks and corners. Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately after vacuuming. Vacuum everything you can, including:  Carpets Furniture Beds Floors Cracks between hardwood floors Along walls After washing and vacuuming, spray your entire house with your homemade lemon flea spray. Pay particular attention to furniture, drapes, and areas where your pet spends time.  For the first week, spray the house in the morning and in the evening. Once the fleas are gone, continue spraying the house every few days to deter them from coming back.  Be thoughtful in deciding where and how much of the lemon flea spray to use, because components of lemon rind can can be toxic to animals if ingested. Limit or avoid spraying areas and especially items that your pet might lick or chew. Lemon juice is often used as a stain-removing ingredient, but it’s best to test the spray on an inconspicuous area of furniture and drapes to test for color-fastness. If the area isn't discolored by the lemon juice, spray the mixture liberally. Fleas also thrive in many outdoor areas, particularly in moist and shady places like tall grass, shrubs, trees, and leaves. Spray your flea spray in areas that fleas might like, and especially near entrances to the house and where pets or people play. You can also help prevent fleas by maintaining your yard, keeping the grass short, and not having bushes and shrubs near doors and windows.
