   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.
