    List of Ingredients

    from my girlfriend a couple of years ago
    This solution is used by some Veterinarians for getting rid of fleas.
    I used it and you can literally see the fleas fall right off while you are bathing your pet!
    You can repeat this every week, to help keep any fleas from getting on your pet; and it does not bother your pets skin.
    I keep a bottle already mixed up and ready to use in the bathroom. I just wrote Pet Shampoo over top of the manufacturer's label so it doesn't get mistaken for people shampoo.
    I also made a spray bottle up, with 1 part of this solution and 1 part water. Spray where your pets lay or have access to.
    Worked for me!

    #1 - Flea Treatment

    4 ounces tearless baby shampoo with conditioner
    1 ounce Sunlight sink dishwashing liquid

    Mix together and rub into your pet's wet coat.
    Leave on for about 5 minutes, then rinse.
    Repeat and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
    Then towel dry.
    A second treatment may be necessary for a pet that may be really infected.
    Smells good too.

    her comment:
    I have used this tip for fifteen years, was found by
    my Dad in a woodworking magazine years ago. Hope it
    helps you, works great in my house.

    #2 - Flea Treatment

    Ask someone you know that has a Black Walnut tree,
    if you may take some of the smallest branches off.
    Break up into very tiny pieces and place in an empty
    coffee can with holes punched into the plastic top.
    Place one can in every room, where it cannot be seen.
    These cans will kill the fleas, and Eggs on pets, And
    in the Carpet.

    Black walnut fumes are potent enough when ground
    into bedding for animals and placed in a stall, can
    kill a horse or cow. (??!) The MiNute amount produced
    by breaking the branches does not bother people
    or pets, but it is fatal to fleas.
