How Vinegar Can Kill Fleas
Vinegar is a natural flea-killing agent. It can kill adult fleas and larvae in a dog. However, you should avoid using vinegar to treat severe flea infestations. It is only recommended for mild to moderate infestations. It can be a great solution if you’re unable to get a vet right away, or you’re using it on a Sunday night when nobody is home.
One way to use vinegar to kill fleas is by giving your pet a bath. Using a white vinegar solution on your pet’s fur will make it unappetizing for fleas. Fleas are scared of the smell of vinegar, so regular vinegar baths will discourage them.
Apple cider vinegar is a great natural flea spray, but it has some drawbacks. First, it has a short shelf life. So, make sure that you are using the product on a small area first, and keep it in a cool, dark place. Secondly, you need to make sure that the vinegar is non-flammable.
White vinegar can also be used to make a flea spray. However, it won’t kill fleas instantly, so you must be patient and allow it to work. To make an effective flea spray, combine vinegar with water in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture in areas where fleas are present, including carpets and rugs. It will kill flea larvae and eggs and repel fleas.
