Martin Kilgore asked the Naked Scientists:
During the great flea invasion of '93, I suffered piteously until I learned that fleas will drown in a small bowl of water to which a bit of dish washing soap has been added. Plain water is right out. It doesn't faze them. I think you need the surfactant effect.
It is a great deliverance to comb the little rotters out of the cat's fur and then watch them struggle a few seconds and see their lifeless little bodies drifting in the bath of death.
Tell the man to try soaking his wool cap in a solution of water and woolitedetergent.
And henceforth keep the cat in the house.
