No more Fleas

Doityourself.com has been good to me, so I just wanted to pass along a trick I learned.

Last Nov we rescued a dog off the streets. She was the cutest and sweetest thing, except she was infested with fleas, and soon after so was my home. Immediately I tried all sorts of OTC and nothing worked.
What finally worked was two simple steps.

1. When bathing I added Avon's Skin So Soft directly on the dog after shampooing. And also used a spray bottle daily. She was a little slick, but flea free.

2. Each night, in a dark room, I placed a shallow pan of soapy water in the middle of each room with a small light (I used a book light, it attached to the side of the pan) shinning only in the pan. As the fleas where attracted to the light, they would jump for it and land in the soapy water. The first night there were too many to count and each night after the number dropped until there were none. The whole process took about a week.

No more nasty pesticides to harm your family or pet.

Thanks doityourself.com, Happy Holidays!

Interesting, I knew Skin So Soft repelled mosquitoes but didn't realize it worked on fleas. Thanks for the tip.
