What Can I Use If I Don’t Have a Flea Com?
WouterIf you don’t have a flea com, don’t worry – there are other methods to remove fleas. One option is to use a regular toothbrush or comb for your pets. These items have wide-spaced teeth and can easily cut through thick pet fur.
A flea comb has two rows of teeth that suck up flea debris. It’s also comfortable to hold and will work well on most breeds of dogs. A good flea comb has a contoured handle that feels sturdy in your hand. It can fit in a pocket or fanny pack, so it’s convenient to take with you when you’re on the go.
Another option is to use dish soap to trap fleas. Dawn is recommended for this purpose. You can also place the soap under a light to make it warmer. The warm water will attract fleas, and if the soap is mixed properly, it will work effectively.
Another option is to wash your pets with citrus-based dish detergent or a mild shampoo. Once your pet is clean, use a flea comb or brush to remove fleas. If you don’t have a flea com, a toothbrush can be used as a substitute. Brushing or combing your pet’s fur will loosen up the fleas on the skin, making them easier to wash off.
Another natural option is using coconut oil to treat the fleas on your dog. It works by killing fleas on impact. This solution will kill fleas while leaving the room smelling fresh.
