They are a simple thing; made of a plastic casing, a pad with non-toxic glue that sits in the casing, and a light, they are an excellent alternative to chemicals commonly used to treat fleas. They obviously do not treat flea larva or eggs, but they do really good when flea bombs or other chemicals don't work as well as you want. We have one, and it eliminated an infestation with almost no help from chemicals. Something else that would work well if you are worried about using chemical treatments for fleas are flea lights.

That is also recommended for kittens who are not old enough for flea medication. It kills the fleas. If you don't want to bathe her, use a flea comb and dip it in warm water with a tiny bit of Dawn between every brush stroke to kill the fleas and flea eggs on the comb.
