We dilute it and let them soak in the water for about 5 minutes and just watch the fleas float or try to run off the cats but we are normally getting them with the flea combs.
The mixture is usually 1/2 cup to 1 quart warm water and letting the cats soak or walk in it using a cup to get the water over the head down their chin, cheeks and using my thumbs to get it under their eyes and top of their nose to ensure no runaway fleas.
We found this as a trick when we rescued the 7 week old kittens infested with fleas and no way to use flea shampoo, capstar or revolution and Dawn was not working."

"You have to use the dawn soap like a dip. The thick lather has to sit on the animal long enough to smother the fleas. Then follow up with ACV spray. Can also put 1 tbsp per one gallon water for drinking water. Pit Bulls especially ones that have blue coloring in their bloodline have very sensitive skin. A quality MSM supplement or sulphur can help tons if fighting skin issues due to flea allergies. - former holistic vet tech"
