There is a cheap ingredient in hair conditioner that suffocates lice. But, being cheap, don’t expect the FDA to approve it for such treatment.

Suffocate or lubricate?

Now. my pooch who has kidney failure has fleas. i am the great white flea hunter. I used to catch them and put them in dish detergent. Then I went to hand cream. then I went to putting them in a zip lock back with detergent soaked paper towels. Then I went to plain paper towels because they quit hopping around after a couple of days anyway. Then one of the zip locks had been used to store lemon poppy seed muffins. They died quickly. Eureka!

I put in a paper towel and olive oil.

Doggie is doing well, thank you. all home cooked meals. Did you know our white rice has phosphates in it? Now I get Jasmine rice with NO additives.
