Hello fellow cat fans out there! Having a little trouble with fleas in your house and can't seem to get rid of them? Well I recently picked up a little trick to help edge the process of controlling the flea population along. All you need are a few household objects:

1. A Large Dish (Low Rim Like A Dinner Plate)

2. A Solution Of Part Water And Part Dish Soap (Any Dish Soap Works)

3. A Bright Lamp (Preferably A Headrest Lamp Or Something That Can Get Close To The Dish)

Now, just fill up the large dish with the water/dish soap solution and set it on the floor in a room filled with pests. When you go to bed or work, simply turn off every light possible in the house and leave the lamp on while you work/sleep.

Since fleas are attracted to light sources, they will all head torwards the lamp and jump to "get" it, only to fall down into the dish of solution and die almost on contact! This solution is not poisonious (depends on the type of dish soap you use) and will not harm your precious little pet although I doubt they will drink it again. I hope this helps everyone out there!
