Battling Fleas

To aid in the battle against fleas and ticks comes a new product called d’flea Liquid Dispensing Comb. The comb’s handle is filled with an insecticide that saturates the comb’s porous teeth; running the comb through the pet’s coat will kill the insects on contact. The comb and one package of insecticide sell for $6.99; a refill costs $3.99, at Animal Affaire, Northridge; Pet World, Chatsworth, and Pride & Groom Pet Shops in Huntington Beach, Torrance and Carson.
