Use Your Vacuum for Fleas

if you are having a problem with fleas, put moth crystals in your sweeper bag. When you vacuum, it sucks up the fleas and their larvae. It kills the fleas and keeps the larvae from hatching. Change the bag often and be sure to bathe your pets to kill the fleas on them. If you do this regularly, vacuuming often it will take care of the fleas.

Please don't use moth balls or crystals in your vacuum or anywhere else! They are extremely toxic to all living things. You could use diatomaceous earth or salt instead.

Tip: Keeping Fleas from Nesting in Your Vacuum

You don't have to have a pet to get fleas. Drop a mothball or vacuum up some moth crystals in your sweeper bag to prevent any 'buggies' you may pick up in your sweeper. This will prevent them from 'nesting' in your sweeper bag.
