Thread: Flea Traps? Anyone tried these?

I always made my own by taking a long low flat white 2 inch deep dish and putting it on the floor, with 1 inch of water in it. Then I would use one of those gooseneck student lamps and place it over the water. Just turn the lamp on at night and the fleas jump towards the light in the dark and fall in the water and drown.

YES!!! It DOES work as a mosquito repellent!! And yes... the original bath oil spray!

Thanks!
