Gotcha, Fleas! How to Prevent Flea Bites

By Michael Aiken

Fleas have pestered people since the beginning of time. And just about all of us who are around animals have looked down to find a few of the little bloodsuckers around our ankles and legs.

An easy and reliable way of getting the fleas off your body is to grab a short length of sticky tape (duct, masking, cellophane) and nab that little sucker! Be prepared to fold it over as soon as you lift it off, because some fleas can free themselves from the less sticky tapes if given enough time.
