  • Patent number: 4731379
    Abstract: A flea eradicator consists essentialy of 1.7 percent by weight dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and 0.3 percent by weight sodium benzoate in water. The composition is topically applied and kills fleas substantially more quickly than do conventional flea soaps. The use of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate avoids thre problems of malodorous soaps, toxic insecticides and alkalin harshness usually associated with flea soaps. The need to incorporate polyethylene glycol or lanolin in the flea eradicator is thereby eliminated, as is the need for any other toxic insecticide. The use of sodium benzoate appears to promote healing of the infested area.
