Wow, that's interesting. I had no idea a flea collar would repel
wasps. Good info.! They're nasty little critters, and so aggressive!
Another use for flea collars: I had a friend with a light infestation
in her home. She vaccuumed (and vacuumed, and vacuumed)...with a cut-
up flea collar inside the vaccum bag. She swears she got rid of the
fleas, and never had to actually treat the carpet with anything, she
just treated the cats and vacuumed like crazy.

Yes, that's a good way to get rid of fleas (although additional treatment
may be needed if there is a real infestation in the home). It's also a good
idea to empty the vacuum bag, then vacuum up a few more pieces of cut-up
flea collar and leave them there while the vacuum is in "storage." That
gets any eggs that might otherwise hatch in the vacuum bag or cannister.

Or you can do what I do: When you finish vacuuming if you didn't fill the
bag, take it out of the vacuum and tie a plastic bag over it and keep it in
the freezer until next time. The cold will kill fleas and eggs.
