5052.0. "Zema "Zap Flea Trap"" by PHONE::SWANT (PPTPHT) Fri Nov 08 1991 19:27

    Has anyone had any experience with the Zema "Zap Flea Trap"?
    Does it work? 

    I just received a copy of "Master Animal Care" catalog, which 
    sells all kinds of products for animals.  For fleas it carries the 
    ultrasonic flea collars, herbal flea bandana style collars, "Flea 
    Stop", "Mycodex", "Orange Power Shampoo", Vet-kem, etc.  

    What is most interesting is an EXPENSIVE, $24.99, flea trap.  Here 
    is the blurb on it.

	TRAP THOSE PESKY FLEAS.  If your pet or his favorite spot 
	(or your favorite spot) is overwhelmed with fleas, try this 
	proven and effective method of flea control.  Gently place 
	trap in area fleas are known to inhabit and expose the 
	repellent pad.  Fleas will be lured toward the trap, and 
	stick instantly on the gummed surface.  The Flea Trap will 
	take thousands of fleas out of circulation for good!  
	12" x 7".

	#55092005   Trap   $24.99		
	#55902006   Flea Trap Refills, 5/K.   $9.59

    I have only a few fleas (caught at the vets) on my Abyssinian, 
    Sheba, and her NEW LITTER of kittens.  She and the kittens are 
    isolated in my bedroom.  I have been using the flea comb and thumb-nail 
    method along with washing everything frequently.

    I don't want to use any pesticide sprays, only vacuuming, 
    washing bedding, flea comb, Borax, and maybe this flea trap.

    You can get the same results by putting a piece of
    flypaper under an outlet with a nightlight in it.
    The light attracts the fleas, they jump, and get
    stuck.
    Also, a shallow dish of water works.  They jump towards
    the light, and fall in the wter and drown.
    
    However, don't do this if the cats/kittens can get at
    the flypaper or the water dish, or the nightlight!!! (-8
