Abstract: Fleas and flea eggs are removed from an animal's coat by combing the fleas and flea eggs from the coat and into a vacuum cleaner-created air stream flowing through an insecticide-treated filter bag. A flea comb carried in a vacuuming device is adjustable to comb long-haired and short-haired animal pets at different angles of attack. A flea trap, containing a porous filter treated with an insecticide, is connected to the comb-carrying vacuuming device by a flexible hose and to a vacuum cleaner by an additional hose.
