Fleas can be killed in water by drowning when giving a dog a bath, but it can be difficult to get every flea into the water. Kill some adult fleas in the bathtub with tips from a pet industry specialist in this free video on fleas and pest control.

Japanese snow monkeys (macaques, 日本猿- nihonzaru, Macaca fuscata) on Koshima display group learning and culture by discovering and sharing the technique of washing sweet potatoes in fresh water to rinse off sand and dirt, and then salt-water, to add flavor. They also discover how to separate sand and rice clumps by throwing the mixture into water and letting the rice float to the surface. Parts are closed-captioned due to background surf noise. From the BBC documentary “Life on Earth: Episode 12: Life in the Trees” (1979), narrated by a younger David Attenborough. More Information: ► en.wikipedia.org ► en.wikipedia.org

it’s amazing how easy it is to kill fleas when you throw them into plain water—i found out, but impossible it seems to kill the bastards in your carpet with all kind of natural ingrediants, and even a carpet shampooer with soap or lemon juice or vinegar in it.

@fanuvgod1 I agree, my dogs would jump out. Also, we don’t have bath tubs here in Colombia, only showers, so any other natural suggestions?

Don’t leave the “drowned” fleas on the animals body. Insects can be submerged in water for over 30 minutes and still live. They will appear to have drowned, but they are actually still alive. Once the water dries up, the insect will eventually revive. Salt water will kill fleas, and I have seen dogs that like to swim in ocean water, so the salt water shouldn’t be harmful to the dog.

Dawn blue dishwashing liquid – it breaks down the skeletons of the fleas. Google it and you’ll see. Works great and no holding a great dane down in the tub.

Take the dog to the beach or a pool. You will both enjoy it and at the same time get rid of a problem. LOL

The best, healthiest & most effective treatment is food grade DIATOMACEOUS EARTH.Give it time to see results.Then keep giving it..make sure cats/dogs have access to drinking h2o! So DON’T use poisonous chemicals or drugs!!!Don’t do that to them.Vacuum a lot.Regular flea combing helps too.Take a flea comb, big bowl of hot water & toilet paper.Have pieces of tp ready. After combing the cats & finding fleas or flea eggs, wrap fur/fleas in tp,put in hot water, flush.Don’t flush too much tp at once!

Food grade diatomaceous earth is a great flea preventative/treatment for people & critters. Please, no more poisons (including flea collars)!!!You give them poisons then wonder why they get sick in the long-run?!Don’t have a priest-like relationship with vets…question them, do your research on alternatives, stand on your own 2feet.We leave it to conventional vets at times because we are lazy. research.Raw, drug-free diets also go along way to strengthening cats & dogs, keeping them healthier

Fleas will crawl into the eye sockets and the ears to escape drowning in an infested dog.
VERY painful.
This is not the proper method. One should use a flea shampoo gently on the face and around the eyes (not in them) to protect migration into the eyes and ears. Do this before you get the dog wet. then bathe the rest of the dog.

Overtime monkeys use their creaticity to change their ways? Sounds like humans, who knows in a 100 years what the monkeys will come up with.

@soopaflychic,
I see that you are a Korean woman living in Australia. You have posted over 2,200 abusive comments about Japan and the Japanese people on the internet. We researched what some Koreans, like you, are posting vicious comments about the Japanese while pretending to be a different person and belonging to a different race: sometimes Chinese, American or even Japanese. Stop your mind-control games, put on for foreign people in the world, and your insincere comments.

@sandinovive1000 Yeah, I was specifically responding to his question about Japan. Eating them in your situation sounds totally justifiable in my opinion though, as sad as it would be.

There seem to be 3 species that have a range in Nicaragua: capuchins, spider monkeys, and howler monkeys. Hope it wasn’t the capuchins; they are incredibly smart. :-(

@tehinfidel I’m originally from Nicaragua, during the war years 1985 through 1989 i was serving my military service for the sandino-communist army; during that time when we were up in the mountains sometimes food was scarce so ended up shooting at these small primates that lived way up on the tree tops. Not the best tasting meat, but it kept us alive for a good 2 years.

@soopaflychic I don’t think you have any worries about that happening. The Japanese are prone to doing that. I understand in Korea and China and eat dog. In China there are those that eat live monkey brains, perhaps the cruelest of dining experiences. There are other dining habits in China that are probably best not mentioned.
