I used to think you had to use a specially formulated flea soap to get fleas off of your pet. I discovered, much to my delight, that you only have to use good homemade soap and it kills them. The fleas end up floating around dead in the bath water. For those of you who have a pet but can’t tolerate the insecticide in flea soap or collars, this is good news. Give it a try, I think you will be surprised and very pleased.
