[sci.bio] Active ingredient for killing fleas

pwu@uwmacc.UUCP (Peter Wu) (11/10/86)

I'm currently trying to de-flea my house and cats.
I heard that fleas can become immune to some flea
killer if used for a long time. Does anyone have
any idea what the current effective active
ingredient for killing fleas might be?
