God forbid, should fleas get into your house here's a quick tip to make them go away and stay away. Get a cheap flea collar and cut it into quarters. Place a quarter of the flea collar into your vaccum cleaner's rubbish bag or containment bin.
In nature, when herds of animals move, they make a vibration that causes flea eggs to hatch. (Looking for a blood meal to mate and lay eggs.) Your vaccum cleaner does the same thing. The flea collar section in your vaccum will now kill fleas as they hatch so they won't keep crawling out of the machine to keep re-infesting your home.

Bah! My kitties are never troubled by fleas, ever since I unleashed those hunter-killer nanobots into the apartment. Plus the little buggers cleanup shed fur & hairballs!

Also: if you feed your outdoor cats/dogs canned food, get a jar of crushed garlic and put about 1/4 tsp in each serving -- it makes your pet taste nasty to the flea/ticks, so they leave before the cat comes back into the house.

This also workes with humans....garlic once a day will keep 99% of all flying insects,fleas,ticks,and other annoying insects away from you! Down side is you will smell like garlic when you sweat...but ya know you wont be bothered my bugs....................
