"Effective Flea and Tick Prevention for Pets: Yard Cleaning Hacks Revealed"
If your pet continues to get fleas, it could be due to an infestation in your yard. Fleas can bite humans and carry diseases, so it's important to address the issue. Using dish soap, particularly Dawn, mixed with water in a garden sprayer can effectively kill fleas in your yard. Apply the soapy water in the morning or evening, avoiding harsh sunlight or rain. Repeat the process as needed to target active fleas and their eggs. Dish soap works by dehydrating and smothering the insects, but be cautious as it can also dry out your grass. Adding vegetable oil to the mixture can help protect your lawn. Dish soap is also effective against other pests and fungus.
