That doesn't work here in the deep south, Bob, and when I asked my vet
about it, she told me she never heard of it.  The only conclusions I can
draw from this is that what works for you doesn't work for me because of
our living areas and down here whatever fleas are in the yard where the
dogs are, are killed off by the freezing temperatures we have been
experiencing.  The Capstar tablets I give them will kill whatever fleas are
on their bodies for up to 48 hours and the tablets are inexpensive and
begin working inside of 30 minutes.
