🐾 Getting Rid of Fleas:

1. Treat your pets – Use flea shampoo, combs, and vet-approved flea treatments.
2. Wash all pet bedding – Hot water and high heat are essential.
3. Vacuum regularly – Carpets, furniture, and floors — every corner counts!
4. Salt and baking soda trick – Sprinkle on carpets, let sit overnight, then vacuum.
5. Flea traps – A shallow bowl of water with dish soap and a lamp attracts and traps fleas.
6. Yard care – If fleas are coming from outside, keep your lawn mowed and treat shaded areas.

🧼 Prevention Tips for Both

• Declutter your space to eliminate hiding spots.
• Seal cracks and crevices around walls, baseboards, and furniture.
• Inspect second-hand furniture or luggage before bringing it indoors.
• Vacuum regularly and dispose of vacuum bags promptly.
