Heat Kills Fleas
WouterOne of the best methods to kill fleas is to raise the temperature of your home to a high enough temperature to kill them. This method works because fleas cannot survive for more than two days at a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes longer to kill fleas, however, if the temperature is too high and the humidity is high.
Another method is to wash your clothing in hot water. This will kill the fleas in the eggs as well as the adult fleas that are attached to the fabric. You can use a combination of detergents such as diluted bleach or a favorite detergent. The high heat kills fleas and their eggs. You should also run your dryer at the highest temperature possible, for at least 30 minutes.
Using a steamer is another good option, but be sure to use the right equipment. Some steamers can reach temperatures of over 200 degrees, which is hot enough to kill flea eggs. You should also make sure to take your time and not rush the process. Keep in mind that the steamer should be used carefully, because high temperatures can damage the fabric.
Heat is one of the most effective ways to kill fleas. It is extremely effective in killing them from an indoor environment. However, it is not recommended to use this method on your pets or in your yard. If you have a pet, it’s a good idea to keep your pets’ bedding and furniture clean. These will help keep the home free of fleas, and will protect your family from them.
