Irish Spring - a bar of this soap kills fleas instantly! Put to the test on a cat who had fleas crawling all over him.

Dusted my carpets with silicon or diatomateous earth many times, then vacuumed obsessively. This ruins your vacuum, for any of you who are tempted to try it.

Funny, we've been advised to sprinkle baking soda on our mattresses and rugs, then vacuum it up - only to read now that this ruins our vacuums.

How much bad advice do we get in a lifetime?

Poison the pets to kill the fleas - I hear you!!!
Like all these vaccines and anti-bacterial hand soaps. And Lysol.

Lysol kills immune systems. Probably leads to cancer, too.

Oh the bane of fleas!
The price we pay for having furry companions in our homes!
