on 9/11/2009 We have a bad flea problem. We tried another remedy of vinegar and water that didn't work. I'll try this one and hope it works. Right now we are using Frontline plus and Home defense. Both are chemical remedies. I would rather go with a natural alternative. I have a German Shepherd that is allergic to fleas, so I wust get this problem under control immediately. Great article! 5*
