A Holistic Approach to Flea & Ticks

Treating Your Home with Diatomaceous Earth.

• Before applying the diatomaceous earth (DE) to your living space, make sure to do a quick run around your house with the vacuum in order to agitate the fleas. This will get them moving and more likely to encounter the DE.

• Apply the DE liberally to carpet, couches, bedding, cat trees and any other area your pet spends time. Make sure to get some into the darks small spaces that fleas tend to hide in, such as under the couch and between cushions.

• Let the DE sit for 2-8 hours and then vacuum up.

• Repeat process every two weeks until fleas are no longer present.
