How to Get Rid of Fleas From Your Mattress
WouterGetting rid of fleas from your mattress can be easy. You can perform a hot wash cycle or leave your bedding exposed to direct sunlight to kill the fleas. You can also treat your bed linen with a natural bug-killing powder. Peppermint oil is a natural flea killer that you can spray under your sheets.
Fleas live in moist and dark areas and like to hide in crevices. They tend to feed and breed in these areas where people don’t check them regularly. Fleas are common in furniture, upholstery, and other common household items. These creatures also enjoy warm and moist environments.
The first sign that you may have a flea infestation is the presence of flea dirt all over your bed. This dirt has a red to black color and is produced by the fleas that live on your bedding. This dirt can be very itchy and may cause an infection.
Fleas are most commonly caused by people or pets that spend a great deal of time in bed. Adult fleas will not live on a bed if they are not looking for a new host. They will leave your bed as soon as they find a new host.
There are several natural treatments you can use for fleas. The best method is prevention. You can use borax powder or diatomaceous earth under your bed sheets. Alternatively, you can make your own peppermint spray the corners of your bed sheets. These treatments will kill fleas in their tracks and will prevent them from spreading to other areas of your home.
