Dawn and this mixture also kills Boxelder bugs on contact as well as any bug with an exoskeleton. The soap quickly removes the natural oils from the exterior plates and their bodies seize up. Great that someone reposted this. A forgotten marvel!!
Absolutely, I did a video on that as well…

It works!! Also great for younger puppies and kittens that you DO NOT put poisonous collars, dips,topical on or medications given orally. I use it on both my dogs who are getting elderly now. You can use it in the bath for them on bathing day. Be careful if your pet has dryer skin and don't use too much or too often.
Does this really work and do you have to apply it all over
Nice one mate shorthand sweet vid tyvm indeed
Thank you bro, I’m gonna try it today..
Thank you for this video and other of yours. This give me strong faith that I'll get rid of them for good. My dog is now trying to lick himself, but I'm consistently stoping him. I didn't catch any fleas in the traps so i tought I get rid of them, but my dog is still stracthing and I saw poops on his bed. But great thanks.
How did it work on your dog
Thank you 🙏🏽
God Bless You 👼🙏
Thank you for the video
You bet. 👍🏻
This mixture also kills squash bugs on your garden plants
thanks man, i tried it and it work. here in my country dont have dawn but others work too coz im using glo dishwashing detergent. many thanks for your info.
Awesome, glad to hear it helped! 👏🏻
I’ll give it a try thanks.
You bet. 👍🏻
Did it work for you
Great videos I tried this on my dog and it worked like a charm
Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355is there any risk doing this? I just really don’t want to lose my cat
I bathe my cats in Dawn. When I took one of my cats to the vet they recommend bathing cats in Dawn rather than using coconut oil because they were only a month old. So Dawn is very safe.
So do you just leave it on indefinitely, until the pet's next bath, or do you bath him right away to get the soap off, which may be harsh on a pet's skin?
Thanks. Consider instructions that include start a top of pet, moved down, apply between toes.
Good idea!
I put dawn spray on my daughter's dog and she got a bad rash.
But I may have had too much soap in the bottle. It killed the fleas right away. But the rash was just as bad.
I hope this works lol thanks for sharing
Works for removing poison ivy/oak oil for from your pets fur as well.
Good to know, thanks! 👍🏻
Dawn has a pesticide in it! Your welcome, lol
thank you
what if the cat lick their fur adter you spray them? won't the soap hurt them?
Might make them sick so not so great for cats but if you comb with detergent on the comb then put fleas in bowl of detergent water or wipe on detergent clith or tissue it kills them.
He didn't say soak the pets. Just a spritz people
Dawn is good also put how water in bowl mix dawn set carpet with desk lamp with I did not use . Lots fleas hopped in drained in water it was out like 6 hours I had 100 fleas next morning

Yes, I have heard this works well you can even put a shallow dish under your bed with water and Dawn dishwashing liquid in there and when they jump into the water, they will sink and drown
I can't believe no one asked this yet in the comments but, how long does this typically work for before having to re-apply? Also might want to put in the videos. Great video by the way. You didn't drag it out! Congrats.
Yeah I thought about addressing that, but honestly it’s dependent on the situation… i.e. the degree of infestation to begin with, to the amount of rainfall that washes the solution away. I thought it best to leave it to individual judgment.
Thanks!
Betttttt👍🏾
Put the water in first than add the Dawn dish soap
Been using it for years.
Thank you, I hope this works for my poor dog
You bet, like I said in the vid, this came from another viewer who said it was very effective. Let me know how it works for you. 👍🏻
Get flea halt for dogs works miracles
How did it work on your dog
after spraying it on cats coat an brushing it in ta the skin do you rinse the cat
I think I would try to leave in on as long as possible, unless they start trying to lick it off. If they lick it too much, it may upset their stomach.
i first wash my dog in dawn lather real good let it stay a few minutes and fleas will come away from the skin when they do rinse off
Only problem with Dawn is that cats lick and clean themselves everyday and this is digested. There is a vet on here that offered an organic solution with one lemon, 2 tablespoon of Thyme, and 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
You rinse it off so it shouldn't bother a cat to lick itself after.
Dawn is not toxic to cats. It would only upset their stomach if they ingested enough of it. Given that you’re using a small amount mixed with water, it shouldn’t be a concern.
can i spray this on my couches too? and bed ?
Depends on how much Dawn you put in it… when it dries it can be a little sticky.
I was using coconut oil on my leg so I wouldn't get bit
And I have upgraded to MCT oil for brain health and figured that would work as well and why not on the cats and their kittens
it won't hurt them... And probably would even be beneficial to them
Also adding a few drops of repellent tea tree oil or lavender or eucalyptus or peppermint oil would even be better...
There's probably a recipe out there in Google land
I've been reading a lot about cats and fleas. Cats are very sensitive to many essential oils. So, check that you are using only the ones they can tolerate. Dogs are much different, and can apparently tolerate most ES's.
Just wanting to share with you what I've recently learned. Happy Tails to you.
@@farmerinthedells thanks for your input Donna you're awesome!🙂
Tea tree, citrus and eucalyptus oils are TOXIC to cats. Overtime, you will see the side effects
@@farmerinthedells right, sum oils can hurt them
What is MCT oil?
Would this be okay for a 2-month-old bunny? I know this is kind of an old video but I hope somebody can answer it I don't want to do anything to hurt her but unfortunately she did get a little bit of fleas
I would do some research on it first. I’m guessing it would be OK, especially if you didn’t use too much soap in the mixture. But again I’m guessing.
I've been dealing with fleas on my cat for a little while now. I have no clue how he got them. He never goes outside. I live in Ohio and it's cold as shit out. And I have no other animals. He's 2 now and I've had him since he was 6-7 weeks. He has never had them until now. I feel so bad for him. I periodically do some research and That's how I found you actually. I came across The dawn dish soap water in the bowl trick video. We have bathed him in dawn a few times and used the the best topical flee meds and now I finally got him a $65 flea collar and been using cap star. Seems to be helping. But, I just found more of that black flea poop. So I'm going to try the trick you said in the other video as well
Thanks for the tips
You bet, don’t forget to treat your carpets… there’s a vid on that in the description. 👍🏻
Thank you
Penguins died after being washed with dawn in Antarctica, when hey were exposed to oil spill
@@NigarButterfly wait really?
They can ride on your clothes as you come from the outside to your home
So do I let it dry and leave it on my dogs or do I bathe them afterwards and wash it out ?
Leave it on.
@@papajoeknows8355 thanks for the reply
@@papajoeknows8355 I guess you should have answered this comment in your pinned comment, eh?
@@flowerchild777 I assumed most people would understand, because if you wash it out, you’re just giving your pet a bath lol.
Do i have to rinse off or just leave it on there cuz my kitten got fleas bad
I leave it on.
Do you leave it on or do you wash them after a certain amount of time
I’ve just left it on. Some say it could irritate their skin, but I say not nearly as much as the fleas biting them.
I use a little bit in the bath water and keep the spray bottle handy if they go outside for any length of time. It won't harm their skin,it's gentle. Some breeds can have dryer skin than others and that would become drier if you use too much h. I agree about flea bites being worse but some dogs will scratch like the sickens for dry skin. Also, even if there is not a flea on them but one has bitten them then died, some pets are allergic to the bites.
I bathed my cat with fairy liquid lemon and this works good too
@@papajoeknows8355 that's real talk!
Add an pet friendly essential oil.
You can buy Dawn dish soap at the grocery store.
Yes, and I also put a link below for those that may live far away from a grocery store.
Won't your dog be covered in soap after a few sprays?
Does it have to the blue original? I have the green on hand!
I THINK any kind would work.
@@papajoeknows8355 ok bless you!
Fairy liquid desolves fleas
Was wondering
Have you found that it irritates the animals skin?
No, I haven’t, but I would guess that it would dry out their skin somewhat… but relative to the skin irritation from the fleas, it would be a small price to pay.
It doesn't bother my cat's skin other than if we bathe him over and over in it his skin gets a little dry
maybe it will dry the cats skin, perhaps dont use it every bath, just when needed once and the next bath use the shampoo for pets. just to get rid of the flea ok.
Yes it does especially on Pugs mine was left with red spots and skin irritation. 😢 Bravecto is expensive but it's what I have to use.
Can I use Organic Castile Soap and water to spray inside her ears and body? She’s a 4 pound Yorkie with Ear Mites. Very Very hard to kill the mites.
Do you find it necessary to rinse after? thank you for this video 🙏❤
Absolutely not… leave it in. 👍🏻
@@papajoeknows8355 thank you so much! You have a new subscriber 🙏❤
@@cuppajo0213 glad to hear it, thank you! 😊
So leave so I. My dog over night or what
Has anyone used it in cats? Cats lick themselves. Would this harm them internally?
Cats hate baths and scratch us very bad trying to get away. They think they are under attack by a predator. Did it give anyone's cat a rash
Works great for hornets as well.
Yes, dish soap and water works on contact for nearly all bugs.
Sorry, but You did not say how much, the ratio & whether you rinse it off or not......
No, don’t rinse off. And there’s no special formula… take note of how little I’ve put in the bottle, and then water the rest of the way.
@@papajoeknows8355 I've tried everything but the kitchen sink. I DO bathe him with Dawn weekly and will spread nematodes this weekend in front and back yard. My dog is a long haired GSD...do you just "mist" it on them and leave it in? I wonder if it'll dry his skin out? And...they drown in the soap that's why they don't like it but I've never heard it as a leave in, but I'll try!
I’m using 2-3 TBSP of it per qt. spray bottle of water and it’s working great, fleas are gone, no skin irritation.
I even bathed my dog and cat with the dawn, and it just activated the fleas and they hatched anyway, and this was right after the baths, the cat is dead now from getting bit so much and the dog is not doing so great either, I am at my last wits as I have tried everything and spent hundreds of dollars and cant get rid of these fleas, y dog is chewing himself alive and is drawing blood from either biting himself or scratching
Yes, fleas are miserable little bastards. It’s best to use a multi-pronged approach… you will find numerous ways in my videos. I’ve heard this season, they are particularly bad. I had someone tell me they tried the Soresto Flea Collar, and it worked very well, here’s a link for that if it helps:
amzn.to/3DcGhqW
Look into diatomaceous earth to dust onto their bedding, beneficial nematodes to spray into the yard, wash all clothes and bedding for everyone in hot water, and flea medicine that kills flea larvae and eggs. The soap will only kill adult fleas and won't do anything to flea eggs, the other options mentioned will dry out, burn, or poison the flea eggs and larva.
Very sorry for your loss, feeding cats and dogs some cooked boneless chicken will help them recover from a flea infestation if you can afford it.
Yes, I'm sorry you're having such a tough time of it. My dogs are miserable with fleas, and the older dog (nearly 15 yrs old) is so feeble, she doesn't even scratch much. Gave her a bath today with lavender/hemp Dr Bronners. She smells great, but can't tell if any flea improvement. A few years ago, tried diatomaceous earth-- miserable experience. It seemed to aggravate the fleas, not kill them. They just got more aggressive, but didn't die.

Ready for combat ⚒️
✊🏻
I have hand washed baby kittens before with dawn and it would kill the shidd out of the fleas... Vet's Best used to get them but now does nothing
Dawn is like magic on fleas.
Hmmm im not sure about this with cats since they lick themselves
Check out this video. I have a subscriber who has cats and he swears by it…

Problem is cats will lick off anything you spray on them.
Can I use it on my rat?
I don’t see why not.
