I also know enough about the chemicals in flea collars, dips, etc. to know that I do not want to use them. Although reports have supposedly shown that these devices do not work, I have also heard that it depends upon which brand is used. The one that I have always used is called "The Pestilator" and is marketed by Kerr Wire Products, 4935 LeMoyne Ave., Chicago, IL 60651. Their phone is 312/378-3600. It was recommended to me by people who had used them that have more than one dog in their homes. So if it worked for them, I figured with my 1 dog I should have good results. I found 1 flea on my dog thus far. I should also add that this year I gave him "Cornucopia" natural treats daily. They are supposed to help in repelling fleas since they contain Brewers' yeast. However, last year I only used the "Pestilator" and still only found 1 flea. If anyone can add to this testimony, I look forward to seeing it.
