On the other hand, when we first had Chloe as a kitten, she had quite a number of fleas on her. I combed them off, and dropped them into a cup of water to which I had added a few drops of ordinary washing up liquid (whichever supermarket brand of the time) - it killed them very effectively, presumably as it removed any meniscus on the water that they would have been able to stand on? Lemon being citrus, and citronella candles being used as insect repellents, I would have thought it would have put them off - normally water attracts mosquitoes. -- Jane Partridge To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
