It’s not buoyancy. The soap acts as a surfactant allowing the fleas to get covered in the solution and reduce the surface tension and sink.

Just a friendly heads up - it breaks the surface tension. Water likes to stick to itself, but when there is soap, which likes to stick to all kinds of things, it makes it harder for the water to stick to itself. This causes all manner of small insects that normally walk over water to get dunked.

The eggs are in your carpet and or on your pet. After a couple of weeks you will have another generation. Persistence pays off.

Fortunately for me my dog loves water so I bought a kiddy pool where he enjoys laying there. Most fleas die. We have a lot of cats in the neighborhood so he picks fleas up when we go on walks. I used to treat him with a flea treatment i bought at Costco but have not found it as of lately. So the answer is yes you can as long as you rinse the soap off after you're done.

Works better with hot water to imitate a warm body

Only issue is how do you keep the water warm?
