Fighting Fleas
Tuesday July 8, 2003
Here's a recent reader's tip using borax in your home. Rid fleas from your home. Sprinkle on carpets and in creases and under cushions of your chairs and sofa. Take a broom and go across the carpet to work the powder down to the bottom of the carpet. Wait 3 days and vacuum. It sufficates the fleas and the new hatched fleas from eggs, breaking the life cycle. A small amount of powder remains in the carpet working all year long with one simple application each year. Believe me, I have not had fleas for 9 years. It really works. You will be amazed.
- HelenYou can usually find borax in the laundry detergent section of your grocery store.

I agree. When I first got my cat 12 years ago she was covered with fleas. I tried tons of things but nothing seemed to work so a friend told me about Borax. I put it all over my carpets, at the entrance of my apartment, around where my cat slept (which for a cat, that s usually just about everywhere) all over the house and I left it there for two weeks then vacuumed and I haven t had a flea problem since……
I use a Halo in my home.. It’s the worlds first vacuum that kills fleas among other things with ultraviolet light. Check it out… www.gethalo.com
