RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 May 22, 2004 My puppy and I have only been in the south since Tuesday and he already has FLEAS! Ewww.. My mom was trying to get rid of a mole in the backyard with Lemon Joy dishwashing liquid, Kozmo ran thru it and played and the fleas are dead! WOW! Am I behind the 8 ball on this Helpful Hint from Heloise or what? _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i wonder how his poor puppy skin is doing make sure you give him a good bath to get it off his skin...that cannot be good for him....She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #3 May 22, 2004 Oh that stuff (ALL the 'ultra' diswashing liquids) will kill ANY bug..I've dropped some on a few New York City cockroaces and they died on the spot (no small feat). I told a friend in Texas to drop some on a Fire ant hill and the ants were all killed. I don't know what in it (friggin' napalm), but it is incredibly bad for the skin. Don't take a shower in it, don't wash your hair in it, and please rinse your puppy off GOOD tonight (hose him!). You don't want him licking himself.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

SpeedRacer 1 #6 May 22, 2004 probably any detergent will do it. insects breathe through holes in their body & legs. Normally the surface tension of water keeps it from getting into the little tiny holes, which is why it is hard to drown insects. But the detergent breaks up the surface tension & the water can get in. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
