How do I evict fleas from upholstered furniture?




No flea treatment works on my pets for very long; I have to keep finding new ones. Of course, Until I find the next one, there are fleas in abundance. Right now, my dogs and cat are flealess, but even they don't want to sit/lie on my couch or loveseat. Help!

I use Seresto flea collars. I live in an area with a lot of fleas and haven't seen one on my pets all spring and now summer time also. The collars are nice because they last 8 months. And with collars there is no messy chemical to apply to the pets. Goggle Seresto flea collars for more info.

Have you tried putting a little vinegar in their water? Just a tsp. My cat refused to drink it so I rubbed some on her coat. The fleas don't like the taste of the blood anymore. I switched her to brevecto dab on. Costs more but last for 3 months.
sprinkle diatomaceous earth all over inside your furniture,on carpet it can irritate pets nose, feet, eyes ...... may need to throw it out seriuosly fleas are really hard to get rid of. you can even have them in your car upholstery,lawn,carpet,on pets need to treat everything simultaneously and repeat it all every 30 days for at least 3 mos-4; don't use essential oils on your furniture or around your cat they cannot tolerate them will make them very ill also burn dogs nose; becareful what you use on your pets should be administered thru a vet it is all toxic/ pesticides even the collars it all says hazardous on packaging can give them additional skin problems as well as liver,kidney
