Soap for Fleas |

|
My son is a PhD chemist. 8 years Duke University, 8 years Federal government, now employed with a private firm. More money was offered I guess. He travels extensively for his employers, travels worldwide.
He says the safest and best way to rid yourself of a flea infestation is a very old fashioned remedy, can be used safely on your hair, your animals and your hardwood floors. Soap and water. Not detergents, real old fashioned soap, like for instance Fels Naptha. Hope this is helpful I TRIED everything before contacting him.

Hi Sharon,
Dove is a brand of soap in the U.S. It is a mild soap. http://www.dove.com/real_beauty/article_health.asp?id=285
Fels Naptha is an old fashioned soap. You can find out more about it here:

I'm sure that there is something similar in the U.K.

RE: Soap for Fleas
Thanx so much for this info! Never heard of it, but you can believe I'll try it when the time comes (and it's coming soon).
This is for Tuey: You used to be able to find fels-naphtha in the drugstore. If it's not available there, I'd try Lowe's or some place like that.
RE: Soap for Fleas
Thank you Fran!
I prevent any any fleas whatsoever by keeping my dogs on Frontline all year long, but your post is very interesting. Thank you for posting!

Hi Tuey,
Fels Naptha can be found in the laundry section of the grocery store. It is usually on one of the higher shelves. It comes in a bar like regular soap. It can be used to make your own laundry soap, also.
