I don't know if it kills fleas. I was a pet groomer for many years, and it seems we only used Dawn when pets came to us with oil in their hair. One word of caution, though, if you use it --- don't use it full strength. One of the things most people don't know about Dawn Detergent is that it is highly concentrated, and if you use it on a pet's hair, you need to dilute it (about 1/3 cup Dawn to 1 cup water), as it will take a long time to rinse it out if used undiluted.
(Did you know that a large bottle of Dawn, used for washing dishes, will last almost a year if you dilute it 3 cups water to one cup detergent?) Give me a Shout please, if you use it and find it IS a flea killer? Thanks!

I'm a dog breeder and fleas have all but moved us out the past two years. I DO use Dawn Dishwashing soap when I bath them. It DOES kill fleas!Soak them down good I grab the bottle by the sink and squirt it on their backs. I lather them up real good and let it sit on them for a few, watching the flea's crawl out! (I love that part). It will kill fleas and also.. After I rinse that off really good I take a small amount of my conditioner and rub it over their hair, don't rinse. It keeps hair soft.
No, please don't use it... Instead go to the store and get a bottle of white distilled vinegar particularly if you plan to bathe an animal. Give the animal a vinegar water bath one to two cups vinegar to the tub of water. To get rid of fleas in the home you have to treat their breeding grounds with poison which is along baseboards, up the vacuum, under furniture, and under couch cushions. I like to use the 7-dust powder in the house and the granules in the yard. You can find 7-dust in the lawn and garden section in most stores, and a little goes a long way.

I wouldn't recommend spreading poison anywhere in or around the home; even when you just put it in "out of the way" places, it still gets around and into our bodies. And the environment.
Just as effective is food-grade diatomaceous earth - completely non-toxic, found at most natural food stores or online. It's also cheap! Diatomaceous earth gives insects tiny cuts (the edges are too small to cut us) and they bleed to death, as their blood doesn't clot.
