Ohh, even easier. You can simply mix one cup of water with one tablespoon of lemon juice, then dip a flea comb into the solution before combing through your pet's fur.

wikiHow suggests homemade lemon flea spray as a remedy against fleas, safe for pets and around the home:

Ingredients: 1 lemon (sliced) + 2 cups water.
1. Slice the lemons, add the water to the pot with the lemons
2. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the lemons simmer in the water for 30 minutes.
3. Let the lemons soak in the water overnight, or for about eight hours.
4. Remove the lemons from the water using a strainer
Note: you can add a bit of apple cider vinegar

Use: Spray onto your pet's coat for a citrusy flea repellent.

Comb your cat with a flea comb. Dip the comb in a bowl of warm water with mild dish soap to drown fleas.

Baking soda + salt:
Mix them and sprinkle over the carpet, mostly in spots where your cat like to nap.
Leave it overnight. The salt and baking soda help dry out and kill fleas and eggs by pulling out the moisture.
Next morning - vacuum it all up good.
This way is cheap, simple, and mostly safe, just don't let your cat lick or eat the powder.
Better to keep them out of the room until you clean it up.

Just a single drop of dawn dish soap in warm water can really help kill fleas.
This trick is especially handy in the early stages of a flea problem.
I am gently rubbing my cat (I avoid the face and ears), leave him to enjoy bath for about 3 minutes, then rinse him well.
I only use this method once in a while. Usually in spring time. I read that it can dry their skin.

I keep rosemary plants near the front and garden doors.
They help repel fleas naturally.
After baths, I rinse my cat with a small amount of boiled rosemary.
Hope that helps!

#1. Fleas & Tick Shampoo for Cats - using it mostly in spring and summer.
#2. Dawn dish soap - I add just a drop (it can strip natural oils from cats' skin) when I am giving a bath to my cats.
And I am adding a little bit of it to Diatomaceous earth when I sprinkle my yard.
#3. Pet & Home Spray - obvious
#4. FURminator - my cat with long hair just love it! He is waiting for his 10 minutes daily procedure.
It's a great tool for reducing shedding and keeping your cat's fur clean, but fleas are tricky—they hide deep in the fur.
#5. A flea comb – Fine-toothed and more effective at catching fleas and eggs.
#6. Advantage - I apply it once a month

I use Flea & Tick Shampoo regularly, especially during spring and summer when fleas are most active.
A flea comb is handy to check for fleas or flea dirt and remove any early signs of infestation.
My cats are indoor/outdoor - I need keeping the grass short and reducing flea-prone areas helps minimize exposure.
