Lemon juice worked for my flea bites. I didn’t have any itchiness after spraying lemon juice on my bite. Amazing.
Thank you for sharing riceonpizza 🙂 That’s a simple way to get rid of the nagging itchiness from flea bites. I wonder if anyone has ever tried the lemon juice on their pets to help with their irritated skin due to flea bites. If you have please share your experience with us!
Have a wonderful day 🙂 Kimberly
Hi my cats have fleas, before purchasing the flea drops and collars I used the lemon method. It worked wonders for awhile till they hatched more.
I boiled 3 lemons with 3 cups water and let stand for 3 hours then strained and misted it through the kitties and the house.
I also sprinkles salt on the carpet and found it works terrific!
Thank you for all the awesome information about remedies!!
Hello Liane, Thank you for sharing! I’m so happy that you were able to get rid of the fleas on your kitties. I’m not a fan of the flea collars or drops on my cats or kittens because sometimes they just have such a horrible effect on them. I found some of mine would completely lose their appetites and would be lethargic after using the chemical products.
If your fleas do hatch again, I’d highly recommend Wondercide. This product is 100% natural and can be sprayed directly on your pets, kittens and puppies of any age, it kills the fleas on contact! I have also sprayed this throughout my home including carpets, wood floors and furniture. I use it monthly on my pets now and haven’t had a single flea in a very long time. This also works to repel ticks and mosquitoes!
Thank you again for sharing 🙂
