Fleas are a common nuisance for pet owners, but there are natural ways to get rid of them overnight without the use of harsh chemicals. Here are 12 methods to try:
1. Vacuum your home thoroughly, paying special attention to areas where your pets spend time.
2. Wash your pet's bedding in hot water to kill any fleas and eggs.
3. Use a flea comb to remove fleas from your pet's fur.
