We tried that years ago and it only killed about half the fleas. The best, 100% guaranteed way to get rid of ALL your fleas is to sprinkle table salt on your carpet and place bowls of water in each room, the salt dehydrates the fleas, they jump into the water a end up drowning. The salt breaks down into a fine powder without ruining your carpet and all you have to do is vacuum it up when you’re done. We had an infestation that was so bad the exterminator wanted thousands to to take care of and we did it for less then $10.

Not all hero's wear capes. Thank you sir.

*_I finally just set my 1st flea trap about 20 minutes ago & I got my 1st flea!! Thanks 😊 a lot!!_*

I did something similar years ago. My place was infested with fleas. At night, I put a big glop of maple syrup into a paper plate. Then I put it in the middle of the living room on the carpet. I turned off all of the lights & shined a flashlight onto the plate. They all jumped into the syrup & got stuck. It literally got rid of them all. I didn't see any more after that. :)

A flee just landed on my screen as I was watching this.

They love to bite me and nobody else in the house, drives me nuts so gonna give this a go

I just 5 minutes ago followed your instructions. I prayed for a simple and inexpensive solution to my flea problem. Thank you so much.

Not all heroes have hair ... You sir are appreciated

I’m so glad I’m not the only one looking these videos up I don’t want my cat too go through this

Looks like a flea market

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM, I RESPECT YOU, AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU SHARED WITH US. DONT WORRY ABOUT THE HATER SAY, THATS THE WAY THEY WERE RAISED, AND THATS HOW THEIR ANCESTORS WERE!!! GREAT JOB AND I SUBSCRIBES I HOPE THAT YOU GET THE MONEY YOU DESERVE !

Trying this as soon as I get some of these desk lamps. Thank you so much, kind sir! You're a legend. My baby pug Rudy, my wife and I all thank you.

Directions unclear, burnt my house down 10/10 they're gone though

God damn fleas. Damn them straight to hell. Every time I scratch I just get madder, my anger grows deeper. They will pay.

I've had used this remedy for years it absolutely works thank you

I'll be trying this tonight! We have a dog who is 16½ now and we're dealing with fleas for the first time. Started him on treatment yesterday but I'm sure there are little hoppers everywhere our dog has been in our house! I've got all the needed supplies in the house even now right down to the Dawn dish soap! 👍🏻

Fleas like warm, the detergent breaks down the surface tension of the water, fleas are so light they can jump off of clean water, with much less surface tension they drown, excellent trick.

Thanks for posting this because I tracked fleas in my car. They been eating my ass up while I'm driving! I stumbled upon this video and I know there was a God! 😂😂😂👌

I can't believe how many thumbs down there are! Fleas and exterminators join in on the negative action. SMH.. I LOVE this video! I'm definitely gonna give this a try! Thank you bud!

Sir, you my man need an award. I took this idea and applied it to my cat. I gave my kitten the I just got 2 hours before a Dawn bath, of course being careful of the face. Easily 75 dead fleas by the end of the bath. 3 days later I'm still not seeing any fleas on him. You are a true hero.

You don't need Dawn, any dish soap/detergent will work. The detergent works in 2 ways. The first way is it breaks down the surface tension on the water. Fleas can be light enough to float on top of water, but the detergent makes the water wetter in essence and thus the fleas fall right into the water rather than being able to float and be dry. Now they can't breathe. The second thing the detergent does is break down the waxy coating fleas (and other arthropods) have on their bodies. Insects and arachnids don't breathe through their face like most animals do. They have tiny holes in their abdomens called Spiracles. Their abdomens move in and out to exchange air much like our lungs expend and contact to do the same thing. With arthropods the waxy coating is supposed to protect the body from too much water absorbing through their exoskeleton and spiracles. The detergent breaks down that wax letting water seep into their body and spiracles so they drown. I suggest you get some diatomaceous earth and finely sprinkle that stuff all over your floors, esp the carpeted ones. Diatomaceous earth is a fine gray/tan colored powder that is naturally mined from the earth. It is comprised of fossilized diatoms which were single celled creatures that lived in the oceans and still do. When fossilized their bodies are sharp, like broken glass though harmless to us. However, this dust is harmful to arthropods (insects, arachnids). When arthropods walk through the diatomaceous earth it sticks to them. As it coats their bodies it literally cuts through their exoskeletons letting air getting in where it's not supposed to and dries them out. It does the same thing to the eggs of the offending creatures. Sprinkle this earth all over the floor using a fine sieve and close off that room for about 3 days. Keep pets out of rooms with the earth on the floor. Even though it's non toxic and natural, you don't want it in the eyes of your animals because their heads are much closer to the floors than ours are. After 3-4 days, vacuum the heck out of that room. If you can seal the doors with tape, the fleas can't get out of that room. Try to do as many rooms as you can at once to kill as many fleas as you can at once. I kind of miss having pets, but I do not miss flea infestations, or ticks.

What I have been using is a large flat metal pan that you can get at a feed store or farm supply that is used for feeding livestock or chickens. It is about 18" in diameter and 3 inches deep. I put about an inch of water mixed with some dish soap, and a candle in the middle. Set it in the middle of the room at night. The candle attracts the fleas, they jump at the candle, land in he water and sink. Works 100%.

Thanks for posting! had it on for about 9 hours & got about 50 fleas!!👍👍I'll use it for termites come termite season here!! Update: within several days i must have got several thousand fleas!!

the thing works... i love this man so much thanks for existing🙏🏾

Mist the room with lemon and lavender oil mixed in water. No fleas. Five years, three cats, no fleas.

Wow, this really worked great! I used a battery powered led lamp over bowl of water with dawn, turned off the ceiling light and within fifteen minutes had about ten of the little bitters. Have just been moving it from room to room, cats have not bothered it. No mess. And the fleas are almost gone. Thank you so much for posting this method.

This really works, I went and bought 3 small desk lamps and plastic plates today and set them on the floor in my apartment, 2 in my living room and 1 in bedroom, I can see many of them taking the dive every minute now. Thanks for the fantastic idea,

I am so happy with this amazing video I just watched! I used to get bitten everytime I went over to my grandmas house omg I can’t believe this, I’m gonna try this hack out tomorrow night before I go bed !!! Omg tysm sir!!!

I have done this, but a bit differently. Instead of using a plate, I used a large bowl. And instead of using a lamp to make heat, I just used hot water. I used any kind of dish soap. I had great results. I trapped even more fleas than in this video, and in a shorter amount of time. I change out the water three times a day. It works very well.

All of the sudden I'm itchy. 🤔

Give this guy Rewards!! Wow life saver

I've been using this off and on for a couple of years. Vacuuming and this trap work great.

I hate having bites on my ankles and feet

I love effective non toxic solutions like this, and it's great to actually see the little pests that make life so miserable for dogs floating belly up in the soap and water. Two thumbs way up. Best flea control method I have seen, thank you.

Simple and effective from what I see here, I'll give this a try.👍🏽 Thank you Papa Joe knows

I tried this idea and really works, I did it for about one month and catched about 500 fleas from the place I'm renting!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Joe! I just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for putting this video together for us! I have a pretty big house, and a 20 year old niece with a huge soft spot for homeless and unwanted cats. We currently have 9 (anyone want one?) and for the first time in 20 years, a HUGE flea problem. We started herb boxes at every window and door. After hours of research I found your video!! In two days our bowls have more fleas than water. We can't thank you enough!!! Love from Florida - Michelle and family

I had a friend whose basement was so infested, my pant lags were black up to my knees! I put a 5 gallon bucket down there, and the lightbulb was the only source of heat down there. Overnight the bucket was filled with dead fleas. One of the grossest things I ever saw in my life! This does work.

I just watched another video about washing clothes & the lady said fleas cannot drown or die from the detergent. Thanks for clearing this up for me & making this video!

OMG YOU SAVED MY LIFE. 100% works guys....I just got a cat and she got flea when she went to the park....Now my room have fleas and I did this and as soon as I put down the plate a flea jumped into it... Amazing. Thank you so much Joe.

Its March 2020, and I cant find any dish soap anywhere LOL

The thumbs down must be from the exterminators who charge a lot of 💰 money.

Years ago when i got my first puppy my house was so infested with fleas that when you went to crawl in bed it felt like static on your legs. I bombed the house 4 times. The fleas partied...lol...didnt kill one. I used raid flying insect spray...hold your breath and spray the entire room on the floor as you back out. Then shut the door. Repeat once aweek for about 4 weeks. All fleas...eggs...larvae gone. And i treated the dog

Thank you sir! I've never dealt with them. It's been a monthly battle with these forsaken creatures. I have had a blood infection due to bacteria in my right leg from them. Definitely gonna try this!

or you can put a small tea candle in the middle of the plate of water and get the satisfaction of the fleas being burnt before they drown

Totally worked. Faith in youtube diyhacks restored. Thankyou.

Carpet was the first thing I got rid off after aquiring pets. Hard flooring much easier to clean and keep sanitary.

Thankyou so much for this very quick and helpful video. I will right this down so that I dont forget! Have a great holiday.🤗❤

im at work looking like a mental health patient, this video has me scratching, and beating my scalp and skin like they really on me. omg!!!!

Been doing this for years. Only difference is I use an aluminum pie dish and any dish soap. It works great!

i CANNOT STAND those fleas. i’m literally so scared to go home because fleas are literally so sneaky. ever since i found out our house has fleas ive been wearing long socks and long sleeved shirts. im gonna try this

Thank you so much for this video. clear, concise, and to the point.

It's important to use a white plate for more reflection. Mix the Dawn in a cup before pouring, it's a bit easier. You can just add a little water when it evaporates.You will have to move the plate from room to room or use more than one plate and repeat the process in two weeks as that is the cycle of reproduction. We have 7 indoor cats and it works, believe me! Be careful not to have the lamp too close to the plate, if the water gets too hot it will discourage the fleas, about 12 to 18 inches with a 40 or 60 max. watt bulb. Don't worry the cats won't touch it, they will stay clear! Good post, thanks!

White vinegar and a flea comb work also. I also sprinkle borax on my carpet. My pets roll around safely while the fleas dehydrate and expire. Lol

Omg! Tried this just 30 minutes ago and caught one already! This works! Thanks, Joe!

I've used that very idea for years and it's always worked well. All dish detergents work , not just Dawn . And I placed the container of soapy water under a night light instead of a lamp.

It really does work...Found out that fleas can live 3 months without a host....so you have to keep it up for a while.

i did this and it worked. Had a property where someone used the house to breed dogs the place was covered in flees. it did take me a few weeks to achieve a flee free home.

To prevent your pet from drinking it, you can remove the front grid of a fan and place over the plate of water. I also have a plant basket that worked well. Added benefit, it prevents the fan from accidentally being tipped over into the water dish

Hi Papa Joe, I just read all the comments below and it is surprising how people can be so mean. I will give this a try. I just found orphaned kittens and they brought fleas into our home. Thank you for this little tip.

I was bitten by fleas all night. Over 20 times Woke up at 3 am. Found your video. Laid the plate down and immediately caught two. I guess those were it. Thank you so much. I've never had a flea issue until I stayed at my boyfriends house where they have four dogs. Doing this Tomorrow at his house. Thank you again man! Freaking hero

When I saw the caption, i said to myself there is only one way I know of yhat works and there you are doing it! I had someone tell me of this maybe 25 yrs ago and it truly kicks ass! Thank you for posting it, everyone needs to try this, it is amazing!

Very informative video ! Most people would prefer not to know how many fleas that their pets bring into their homes or they might be inclined to get rid of them !

It works!!!! Tried last summer . Flea infection started at work ( wood workshop) they do love the saw dust. Took 1or 2 of them home in my socks while commuting on my bike . I have also at home a wood workshop 😊 and 3 cats. This trap works very well. The plastic tray I used with a candle in the middle was 40x30 cm and there was like hundreds of them!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Wow. Thank you for keeping it short and sweet without all the fluff of other videos. I’ll try this

Thank you, the fleas are bad this year. Gotta try this.

Thx for this...now i don't have to fog up my house every month

WOW! I have spent at least $75 in the past few weeks trying to get rid of my flea infestation! I don't even own a pet, it was from the previous property owner. Thank you for sharing the video! I'm going to try this!

It is working!!! Thank you so much for this video, you're a lifesaver🙏

I read that 5% of the fleas are on the animal and the other 95% are in the house.

You don't have to use Dawn. Any soap or detergent will do as it breaks the surface tension on the water, the flea sinks and drowns. You only need a few drops of it too. The first one I set up there was a splash as I set it up! No bites since then. Simple and brilliant! I've used little battery operated floating candles and these work too.

I've done that many times. Works very well.

I had a flea infestation when I lived in California and I got rid of them by sprinkling salt on my carpet and left it for a week and the fleas ate the salt and dehydrated. I vacuumed up the salt and examined the bag and there were a million fleas of all different sizes.

I swear fleas are the EPITOME of a crackhead. They’re the crackhead bug of all bugs & that’s on period🙅🏽‍♀️

I can recommend this. It's works. Plus if you vacuum everyday it's a bonus, trust me!

This remedy actually works!

This does work really well, any dish soap works and you don’t need as much as he uses either. All the soap does is brake the surface tension of the water so the fleas sink to the bottom

I desperately need to do this. We have a terrible flea problem this year. Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks! I caught my first flea under 15 minutes. I'm giving you a like.

It worked really good, its been almost 4 days with this project and everyday is less and less fleas in the plates. Love it thank you.. but I hired a pest control because it was too many fleas..I think the plate with soap works for occasionall fleas and my house had a plague.

Thank you, fleas are very annoying.

A friendly reminder to be careful if using an incandescent lamp on carpet. If it gets knocked over, it can become a fire starter in minutes. Think of a way to brace it so that it cannot contact the floor or carpet with the light or hood.

im seriously about to do this in every room of my house. i went to the vet and got flea medicine, so i gave all 4 of my cats a bath in their flea shampoo and put the medicine on them. i washed all of my bedding, vaccumed my carpets twice and washed my carpets, and now fleas are jumping off of my animals instead of dying from the medicine. thankyou so much for this i really hope it helps!

Oh my goodness!!! I cannot thank you enough for this video!! Thank you a million times. I only layed the plate down for 30 seconds and I already have 10 dead in it!!!!!

I have to say thankyou i rescued a cat full of fleas and this worked along spreading salt all over my carpets so the eggs dehydrate work 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Any person that records "how to" vids while at the wheel on random drives, gets my attention 100% of the time...You rock.

Interesting. I clean my carpets at least once and week, and my dog has flees, which I am about to treat. Many thanks for upload and insight, and shall try this to see if we have any fleas around.

Just found out today that Tic Tac have fleas ☹️😱. Put coconut oil on him and see what happens tomorrow. As I search for more I found this video and would be a really big help to get rid more of those monsters! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏

did same thing like 15 yrs ago using soap and basin. left it on the ground outside. sprayed the water with soap on the ground as well and solved flea problem

This really does work. Done this before, first night had about 30-40 fleas. 2nd night about 10. Just keep doing this, use a warm light/ night light which attracts them

Oh my gosh!!! I know who’s buying some lamps today!!! I’m going to make at least 2 of these today!

This helps a lot. I've had a burning hatred of fleas since I was a teenager, after seeing half a litter of kittens die from fatal anemia. They belonged my girlfriend's family, who didn't know what the cause was until it was too late. The last kitten that died had passed away in my arms when we were trying to find an animal service to call. The point is, I currently have an 18 year old cat, who is generally pretty healthy, but had been acting strange lately. She's old, but her loss of energy was unusually sudden. I checked her for fleas, and there they were. After administering a dose of flea medicine and cleaning my home, they came back within the week. I really don't want to lose my cat to these parasitic creatures, so I'd like to say thank you for the great advice. I'll be going to the store to look for some lamps

Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!!! This REALLY works, and it's non-toxic to people and pets. Kudos to you, Papa Joe! I think you really DO know.

This works! I've done this before. Thanks, for making this video.

This worked like a champ in the place I move to in florida...

My cats will not allow baths but here is how we do it. A few drops of dishwashing liquid in a dish of water NEARBY because when fleas are stuck in the comb (like it's supposed to work) just immerse the comb FAST and then pull them off underwater. This works as the fleas drown within a minute. Also I sure will try your fleatrap method. Thanks! 😊

Great share. Really important to use same solution and wipe down all the floor base boards in every room. Cedar chips are also great to add to pet beds. My kids were always bringing home stray pets. So glad that compassion started there and moved onto helping people with sock's, blanket's and jacket's. Love the little things that grow big hearts.

This Really Works!!! I caught 4 already and just put the bowl down. Thanks Wow!!!

Definitely trying this out. Hopefully this works well!
