11. Check into Diatomaceous Earth

I bought mine on Amazon primarily to get rid of ants. However many pet owners use it for fleas. Be careful to buy only food grade. Some folks even use it for intestinal parasites in humans and pets! I haven't tried that.

I have sprinkled it along my baseboards and inside my kitchen cabinets. It will last forever-as long as it doesn't get wet. It has worked like a charm for us.

You have to be careful not to breathe it in when applying as breathing in a lot can cause lung irritation. Otherwise it is completely safe.

We will never be without it again!
