Unfortunately the most potent attractant for fleas I have found, short of my cats, as always been my feet and ankles. There have been several summers where my feet have looked like a war zone because of the little beasties. I don't know why they like my feet more than anyone else's feet in my family...these feet of mine are not particularly smelly, but fleas love them. No, I am not interested in selling my feet as flea-bait. :-0 However, perhaps we could figure out what it is that feet have about them (aside from being near the ground where the fleas are) that makes them so attractive. Lili It's late; I should go home now..... If it isn't late, don't tell me; I still should go home now!
