Stan, a wax myrtle will do the same thing to run off the fleas. Growing up, a house animal was strictly forbidden. After all of us left home though my parents got a chiwawa(sp?) and it would have a flea episode from time to time. I visited the homeplace once and found the floor in every room covered with branches from myrtle bushes she'd gotten someone to cut in the woods...SelbyLowndes

No fleas though.
