Explanation + Guide
Before we get to the remedy, it’s important to understand why fleas are so hard to eliminate. These insects don’t just live on your pet — they hide in carpets, blankets, furniture, and even tiny cracks in the floor. Only about 5% of a flea infestation is actually on your pet. The rest is hiding in your home, waiting to reappear.
That’s why most treatments fail.
Traditional flea products often rely on chemicals that kill only adult fleas. But fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. If you don’t disrupt the entire life cycle, they always come back. And many people don’t realize how many fleas are waiting to hatch long after the visible ones are gone.
Now here’s where nana’s remedy becomes brilliant. She used food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE), a natural powder made from fossilized algae. Under a microscope, DE has sharp, tiny edges that damage the flea’s outer shell, causing it to dehydrate and die — naturally and safely. No chemicals. No toxins. No risk to pets when used properly.
She combined this with a few drops of lavender or cedarwood essential oil, both known for their flea-repelling and antibacterial properties. This mixture doesn’t just kill fleas — it keeps them away while leaving a clean, pleasant scent.
To apply it, she sprinkled a light dusting over her pet’s fur, gently massaging it in with her hands. She always focused on the neck, the belly, and the base of the tail — the flea hotspots. Then she treated the bedding, carpets, and sofa.
And she always let it sit for at least 48 hours before vacuuming thoroughly.
The result?
Fleas gone.
Pets comfortable.
Home fresh.
Peace restored.
Just be sure of a few things:
Use only food-grade DE.
Use pet-safe essential oils.
Avoid applying too heavily.
And repeat the treatment weekly during flea-prone seasons.
When done correctly, nana’s remedy becomes one of the simplest, safest, and most effective flea treatments you’ll ever try.(See the next page below to continue…)
