FWIW, I have a friend who told me about the green Palmolive dish
detergent? soap? She said her grandmother used it to kill fleas and flea
eggs by diluting it to a light green solution and spraying it over the
house. She also said it would get rid of lice by applying it to the head
of the person inflicted with them. I think in this case it was applied
full strength. And of course washing it out after application and
rinsing thoroughly.
