Natural remedies for dog fleas
You, like other dogs owners, may become a bit infuriated by idea of having to cover your dogs in poisonous chemicals to rid them of fleas. And, if you have a bad flea infestation in your house, you probably also feel helpless when someone tells you that the only way to get rid of fleas in your carpet is to flea bomb the place with war gases. Well, the wise dog owner’s prayers have been answered, and companies are actually starting to bring natural products to market that are actually cost effective. Flea bombing a house leaves residue in your home for quite some time. Do you really want to be rubbing against carpets that release chemicals indefinitely, probably not. And why should you have to?
Before modern chemical inventions, there was no way to rid a home of fleas for centuries? I highly doubt that. I am sure some peoples somewhere had a dog with fleas that they let in the house. And I am sure that they experimented a bit to find something to kill the fleas. And upon a bit of investigation, yes there is something on this earth that is natural ,and will kill fleas, it is the earth actually, its called diatomaceous earth. It is fossilized earth that is very sharp on a microscopic level. It cuts fleas, causing them to die.
The product(natural earth) has been used in graineries to prevent infestation, and is actually kept in human grade grain throughout processing. It is sometimes feed to animals as a dewormer, working effectively on internal and external parasites. And, as mentioned before, humans eat this stuff on a daily basis(well if you eat grains).
