If you have a furry pet at home, one of the biggest headaches that you\u2019re bound to experience are fleas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas are annoying at the least and can carry dangerous diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s worse, the fleas can transfer from pets to you, so if you have fleas at home, you\u2019ll probably feel itchy every now and again. Especially around your feet and ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boric acid is a great alternative to most flea powders as they usually contain unfamiliar harsh chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide uses salt and boric acid together which works as a desiccant against the fleas. The mixture is highly effective for fleas, but not on flea eggs. So you’ll need to treat for a few weeks to control newly-hatched nymphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a simple flea powder that you can use at home to control fleas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
