Flea Control : Killing Fleas With Water

[TheAwsome5797]

This is how they buried Bin Laden but they said:

"WE FOUND YOU NOAW YOU FIND NEMO XD"

This is my chance for some likes :D

[0780marco]

Monk22yrs cover your carpet with baby powder. Leave for a few hours or over night then vacuum. Worked for me!!!!!

[monk22yrs]

it's amazing how easy it is to kill fleas when you throw them into plain water---i found out, but impossible it seems to kill the bastards in your carpet with all kind of natural ingrediants, and even a carpet shampooer with soap or lemon juice or vinegar in it.

[Torn80cj]

Don't leave the "drowned" fleas on the animals body. Insects can be submerged in water for over 30 minutes and still live. They will appear to have drowned, but they are actually still alive. Once the water dries up, the insect will eventually revive. Salt water will kill fleas, and I have seen dogs that like to swim in ocean water, so the salt water shouldn't be harmful to the dog.

[the123kaylad]

I have that same dog toy!...

[PrivateLessonsXXX]

Thats the best way to get rid of fleas. Good job. Drown those fuckers



[beanbean78]

he looks like a giant matt hardy!

[kutiepie301]

will it work with kittens? i have four of them and the mama cat gave them fleas

[lloorr11]

what about the fleas crawling in his ears?~(i always put baby oil in the ears 1st~!!)

[rhblakeman]

Dawn blue dishwashing liquid - it breaks down the skeletons of the fleas. Google it and you'll see. Works great and no holding a great dane down in the tub.

[eugie73]

Take the dog to the beach or a pool. You will both enjoy it and at the same time get rid of a problem. LOL

[itsaareezy]

just tried this method, worked great! this helped out so much. it was difficult but it worked. ima try out that lemon spray thing now and see how that goes. much appreciation!

[Natasha6961]

Food grade diatomaceous earth is a great flea preventative/treatment for people & critters. Please, no more poisons (including flea collars)!!!You give them poisons then wonder why they get sick in the long-run?!Don't have a priest-like relationship with vets...question them, do your research on alternatives, stand on your own 2feet.We leave it to conventional vets at times because we are lazy. research.Raw, drug-free diets also go along way to strengthening cats & dogs, keeping them healthier

[mermaidamp]

U remind me of Penn Jillette from Penn and Teller.

[lOvAbLeLuSt8]

I just yank fleas off my cat and take my nail to squish it on the table o.o

[ksalinta]

@lOvAbLeLuSt8 i just did that. :|

[DefenceDon]

@lOvAbLeLuSt8 OMG!lol 

[AetherWisp]

Fleas will crawl into the eye sockets and the ears to escape drowning in an infested dog.

VERY painful.

This is not the proper method. One should use a flea shampoo gently on the face and around the eyes (not in them) to protect migration into the eyes and ears. Do this before you get the dog wet. then bathe the rest of the dog.

[GalaxYSmokaH4Trilli0]

@AetherWisp Your probably right and thats scary because I been drowning my dogs fleas everytime because I dont got money for all that stuff.

[SAfreak1000]

@HeeHify i squeeze fleas using my thumbs and index finger lol it eventually died

[HeeHify]

you cant crush fleas with your hands -.-

[luckyzai096]

yeeaaahhh good for you that 'lil animal' wasnt really an animal... u'd have been dead by the end of the video xD

[x98ghost]

this is not a good video...

[matthewung]

I haven't seen one good video on expert village ever.

[NZkitten]

LOL. thats a cute model there. give him a name

[Cherubaby]

CRICKEY! Why not just use a Flea Killer Shampoo? That kills Fleas instantly, no soaking for 15 minutes!

[yarlenise]

How and where I can get a hold of this tea tree oil

[abinjojo]

1 drop of t tree?

i use about 10 in my dogs bath, and i do put it directly on her skin, but i have tested, i know she is safe with it. t tree works as a flea repellant too, put some in evry bath. this is brilliant, keeps the little ******* of my dog.

[harishshetty99]

THIS IS SUPERB MAN....THANK U SO MUCH SIR ...u r GREAT

[tonykuz]

thnx my cat has alot of fleas.

[ryder92111]

FYI... Don't use tea tree oil on cats, it is highly toxic to them!

[KMcombine]

Just a heads up, make sure before you do this wet the animals head so the fleas travel away from the wet areas, driving them to the rest of the body.

what this does is ensure that, like asinking boat, the fleas dont all rush for the animals head and attempt to crawl in what may seem dryer places - ie; mouth, eyes, nostrils and ears. This is particularly discomforting to the animal and does'nt help with keeping the animal calm as you proceed to drown it.

[fleaologyst]

fleabusters

[7TearsofBlood7]

Another good solution (& sorry if this was already mentioned by another poster), is to use Diatomaceous Earth. It's a natural, non-toxic, powder-like substance, consisting of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae.

The stuff works great, & kills dust mites, & fleas. It can also be added to food in small amounts, to kill internal parasites :)

[RockinPhyscoPrincess]

thank you for this information! :) But I bathe my Miniature Long haired Dachshund about once 10 days or once 2 weeks and this is such a good idea but how often? Maybe 3 times a month? Abbey my dog loves to take baths and she just jumps into it haha

[MCCOLM1982]

fle come

[soniadlay79]

i odubt my shepherd wud let me do this id be the one ending up head first in the tub!! good vid though

[zyklon2000]

You don't have to throw out your carpets to get rid of fleas. There are flea bombs for large spaces, but you have to stay out for two hours, and either remove all your clothes and dishes before bombing or wash them afterward. There is powder for carpets, but you have to keep pets and people off of the carpet and leave it there for 24 hours. Easiest is a spray for carpet and upholstery. Just a light mist that doesn't have to dry, safe for people and pets. That's what I used. The fleas are gone.

[jennifer354]

what spray did you use??

[BladeFuller]

Jennifer 354

I know the name is different, but this is the same person. My guy was logged in when I left my comment...

I used Sergeant's Gold household spray. I don't have the can any more, but it's a pale spray can, yellowish, I think, with a gold-colored plasitc cap. Look for NYLAR in the ingredients. Vacuum VERY thoroughly before you use it... vacuum under and behind furniture, and the furniture itself. It will also help if you give your pet a flea bath and/or flea treatment the same day.

[jennifer354]

Oh thank you for responding lol. What shampoo do you suggest for cats? Mine are older; 7 years and 14. One is a domestic long-haired cat and both hate water :(

[BladeFuller]

I used Sergeant's Skip-Flea & Tick Shampoo For Cats. It worked for me. There are stronger ones, but my cat's infestation wasn't a heavy one. The label says, among other things, not to use it on aged cats. Mine is 14, but to see her, you wouldn't know it. She's in excellent health; all her life, she's never been sick. She had no peroblems with it. 7 is still young. If you fear for the older one or if either of your cats is sick or on any medication, ask a vet before you use ANY flea treatments.

[BladeFuller]

Really work the shampoo into the fur, get lots of lather, and make sure it gets down to the skin. With a long-hair it's harder, it takes longer to rinse out, and afterward, brush it thoroughly or the poor cat will end up with mats.

As for hating water, I'm afraid there's no helping that without sedation (NEVER unless the cat will hurt itself otherwise). My cat learned that 1) she wasn't getting out of it, and 2) I wasn't going to hurt her, and then she fought less, but it still wasn't easy.

[jennifer354]

@BladeFuller Thank you!

[zyklon2000]

To all of those who seem to think this guy is an idiot or full of crap: It really does work, but you have to mix a little soap into the water or it won't drown the fleas. Any fleas that are hanging out on the head and face, or manage to crawl up out of the water onto the head can be removed with a flea comb. You can pick up a plastic flea comb at any pet supply store for about a buck.

[jimsharpe10]

If I replace all my carpet with floor tiles and bath my cat would this get rid of my infestation?

[ekuska]

oh great.. I have a cat.

[noypirulez]

"i no dis is kinda silly but work wit me here" ROFL

[Pasillas89]

soap water in a dish with a lamp near works well

[ungredda4]

ALSO, since the fleas can sometimes thrive in the carpets or w.e. what you can do is grab a decently sized pot of water with some type of venom in it and shine a light over it. fleas are attracted to light and will jump into the pot, once there they will either drown or get poisoned................ just thought it could help

[letmelivemylife2008]

Thanks man.

[elleanee]

another way to remove fleas from you dog is to flea comb him and everytime you have a flea in the comb, swish it in soapy water until it falls off. comb every part of your dog every day for about a week (or less or more) until there are no more fleas. this works like a charm and avoids using poisons (those flea sprays and oils) on your pet.

[fanuvgod1]

yeah, keep my great dane in water up to his neck for 15 min. ain't gonna happen. lol

[Irelandsmom]

Ha ha...you'd have to put him in an olympic swimming pool...

[PinoyPrideofBataan]

hahahahaha funny but stupid!! hahahaha you make me laughed!!

[yumyumsashimi]

@fanuvgod1 tie a brick around his legs and drop him into a pool!

[colbym89]

@fanuvgod1 why don't you have him sit or lay down

[Mikesheesh]

@fanuvgod1

haha I know ur pain lol

[davidbfunny]

@fanuvgod1 I agree, my dogs would jump out. Also, we don't have bath tubs here in Colombia, only showers, so any other natural suggestions?

[CeciliaCyanide]

nice

[2HoleDraw]

Some Australian dingos have been known to walk backwards slowly into the ocean until just their snout is above the water. The fleas panic and move up the body and onto the snout where they finally jump off (not wanting to be submerged in the salt water). So instead of traumatising your pooch in the bathtub for 15 minutes, just take him for an enjoyable swim in the ocean.

[Sionebro]

they sometimes have sticks in their mouths so the fleas jump on it then he lets the stick go XD

[prowlie]

@2HoleDraw great idea.. now if only i had an ocean within 500 miles ;)

[sanjeevwhiz]

the best mathod i got to get rid of fleas give ur pet a hno3 or conc,h2so4 bath imao

[RandyFricke]

Here's a flea killing method that has worked well for me. Take a tub of water (similar to the one in the video), fill it with water and a few drops of dish soap. Place (securely suspend) a light (regular 60 watter) 1' to 2' above the tub. Remove all pets from the affected area, turn off all lights (except for the one suspended over the tub of course). The fleas will then migrate and jump toward the warmth of the light and fall into the tub of soapy water and drown. Beautiful. Works like a charm!

[IronMaidenDoD]

i cant even keep my penis submerged in water for 15 minutes without trying to extend out

what makes you think i can keep a dogs body underwater

[kaileix3]

LMAO

[neologasm]

LMAO this is comedy!

[soxfan00100]

is this a joke lol

[ImaniOU]

Another shitty video via expertvillage.

I stay awake at night wondering where in the hell they find these idiots and where the people they find get off calling themselves "experts".

Next they'll be asking the guy who operates the soft serve machine at the amusement park to share his "expertise" on how to make a Baked Alaskan.  Which of course will be done as a "demonstration" involving a flaming polar bear toy.

Expertvillage...because "VillageIdiot" was already taken as a username.

[husseini16]

ok,okay i will try it n see if it will work

[kosarek4501]

I'm just wondering,

Does this work on children aswell???

[PikoParty]

why do your children have fleas?

[paiperkes]

Human have Lices no Fleas xD

[reddevils419]

what the hell lol..

[sanjeevwhiz]

ehat kinda kids u have huh strange kids having fleas weird

[Justsmilelots]

I assume the same method can be used on cats?

[PikoParty]

no, dont you know that cats melt in water?

[anewkindofangel]

huh... I just submerge the dog under water completely for like 30 seconds and I never have to worry about it again. Good thing about this technique, is that it works well on cats, bunnies, and other animals as well. :)

[PikoParty]

there is a flaw in your technique, dogs can hold their breath for over a min.

[anewkindofangel]

lol let's test it out ;) XD haha

[SingerInBand]

no not just up to his neck!

do a little on top of his head, because all the fleas run up to the dogs neck! That's a fact.....and make sure you put flea spray....or cream!

[306kkk]

my dog can barely stand being in the bathtub for 5 minutes and its only up to his knees he would freak out lol

[alfredo6243]

put the oil in their drinking water the fleas die so FAST. caution so does the dog. but the FLEAS are DEAD.

[PhishTakko]

LMAO! XD thankx for the tip fred!

[tutorialsandstuff]

we can work together you do that and O eat the scraps

[haikuoflife]

With a cat I didn't have this option. I had to put least harmful flea shampoo around her ears/top of head/neck etc knowing whatever is above those would head for her eyes/nose/mouth. I dealt with the head first and CAREFULLY wiped her eyes/mouth with a wet washcloth and the fleas clinged onto the washcloth then soaped the rest of her up. I Rinsed a few more times in clean water - all gone.

[HeartBreaker5535]

but i was told that if u get a cat or dog wett in water all the fleas will got to the top of the head? is that true?

[msbettyboop88]

Awesome video! Where can I buy tea tree oil??

[hamonra]

there is a reason why he's using a dummy...

[DobermansRock]

you have problem.

[xxoxTWILIGHTxoxx]

I REALLY hope you are kidding...

even if you are though, it's not funny in the least.

[tutorialsandstuff]

oohhh iam not kidding i love watching my pets suffer do you have any pets because i can kill them for you and eat them

[aspenaspen]

rofl

[steve198520]

Wow ur so cool, can you please make a tutorial video on how to be more like you?

[xxoxTWILIGHTxoxx]

lolz, ur not so bad. you like Salad Fingers. <3

i like rusty spoons.....

[BarbiesAreAwesome]

sweet

[DobermansRock]

I have Dobermans. My tub is too small for this...

[LipRouge]

Will they lay down on their bellies so that they can be submerged neck-high in the water? I ask because some dogs are less cooperative in the tub than others.

[DobermansRock]

My Dobies will do whats asked. But layin in a tub might be too much. Especialy for 15 minutes.
