How Do You Kill Fleas When Watering Plants?
Fleas can live in the yard all year and are brought into the yard by stray animals and outdoor pets. They dwell in shady and overgrown areas where there is not a lot of sunlight. While watering and caring for your outdoor plants, you can kill fleas at the same time. Spray your yard with Ivory dish soap. Use a spray attachment on your hose and set the dilution dial to 2 tbsp. Saturate your plants and yard and allow to dry. Repeat every four to six weeks. Spread nematodes while watering plants. These are helpful worms that eat flea larvae. They will be dehydrated and need plenty of moisture to rehydrate. They do not harm plants and will kill other unwanted bugs. Remove overgrown plants and dead brush from the yard. Wild animals that harbor fleas can live in these places and bring them into your yard.
