Borax does kill the fleas but not the eggs which is why you have to
do it again in a few days. Twice was all I needed to get permanent
riddance.

I don't know about that but the herb pennyroyal works great for fleas.
I don't think it kills them but they hate it so if you manage to get
rid of them, it keeps them away. We used to regularly get flleas until
i discovered it, as the cats would bring them in. After that, I always
spread some dried pennyroyal on the mattressess under the sheets and
this kept the beds free. I'd also sprinkle some on the floors and then
sweep it into the cracks in the floorboards (we had varnished floors).
I'd then rub the herb over myself and take the cat outside and rub
pennyroyal through it's coat. The cat didn't mind but you could
literally see clouds of fleas leaping off it.
good luck
