I seem to remember one of my bio profs telling me about how fleas were too stupid to tell the difference between a dog and something warm, furry, with liquid (blood) in it. So it seems like if you dragged, say, an electrically heated blanket around, filled with some carcinogen or acid like HCl, the fleas would go for it and kill themselves for you. Any comments on if this would work?
