Hi all, I wonder if anyone has had any success with finding a Flea repellent that employees can use on their skin.Bearing in mind we have to take into account if someone may be allergic to products Our housing officers visit homes (not a choice) which are in some cases infested with fleas etc. Has anyone used anything which helps? Thanks

Cropped up in chat yesterday - old (mid)wives tale: lavender oil in shoes. Not tested, but from days when fleas reigned abounded :) May have to be combined with thick black stockings . .

Is it important they are black ? If you search the forum this issue has come up before and I'm sure the answer was tights (even for the men) or at leat it was reported to help. Chris
