I was thinking along the same line, but couldn't come up with the best way to put it... my thoughts exactly... well said!

I just brought in a wild kitten (was quickly and easily tamed, sweet little buggar!) Diatomacious earth got rid of most outdoors (when he was hangin' on the patio and beginning to let me touch him) and the daily flea comb makes bonding/taming and de-fleaing a win-win-win.

Live fleas that drop off into the bathroom sink or get stuck in the comb and knocked into the sink are quickly dispatched with Windex.
Ya work with what ya got.
