Fleas that stealthily sneak into your home may remain unnoticed for a while. During this time, they will be breeding and rapidly multiplying in numbers. So, when you do spot evidence of these pesky intruders, the infestation may have already spread throughout your home. At first, you notice that your dog or cat seems to be itching a bit more than usual. You attribute it to the humidity or maybe because your pet played in the dirt. Natural Flea Remedies Natural treatments include sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the affected areas after vacuuming. This is a natural insecticide that you can buy from most health shops. You can try boiling the juice of a lemon in a pint of boiling water and spraying it onto the carpet, or adding essential oils such as rosemary – the oils and citrus are a flea deterrent.

Other trade names for methoprene include Apex, Altosid, Minex, Dionex, Kabat, Diacon, Precor, Pharorid, and ZR-515.
