Will clove work as an oil to spray on rugs and furniture when diluted in water?

[@iwona4685]

I enjoyed the educational presentation on the flea lifecycle until you brought in all of the poisons. They kill pets, you know, and it gets on people as well, especially children who pet them and don't always wash their hands before it gets in their mouths.

There's a plant called 'Fleabane'. I'm guessing it has repellent properties because of the name,.
Does anyone know anything about this?

If you dont like the cats just kill them ? Are you kidding?

@weemaggiejiggs8832 Perhaps you don't have a dry sense of humor.

Humans do get dog tapeworm.

borax powder? salt?

[@TokinCamel]

I've heard about that. But I think the reason for the mixture is to get *boric acid*, which apparently kills fleas, eggs, and larva. You need a certain ratio of borax and salt to be effective, it's easier to just buy *boric acid*.
