Natural flea remedy
Here's another flea solution I've not seen proposed on net.news.
My Pekingese LOVES garlic (also Mexican food and spicy octopus-
anything gourmet). Putting mashed garlic with his food each day
makes everything palatable to him and makes him unpalatable to
fleas. Don't worry there's no garlic breath!  But it certainly
does seem to keep the fleas off.  I've also heard it's very
good for his heart. You can buy ready'mashed garlic in little 
jars now - it's great and very handy.
