The Boston Tea Party took place on this day in 1773. Today another kind of party is taking place in homes all over America -- from Boston and Yuma to Miami and Las Vegas. We're talking about a flea party. In some parts it's year-round, in others, it's just when it warms up. Got fleas? Throw them a party and give them a day at the beach. We bring a simple solution -- soap and water. Fleas got you scratching and hopping mad? Got pesky little critters all over your pad? Until a pro arrives with big flea-fighting firepower, set out a few shallow pans filled with soapy water. Fleas, attracted by the moisture, will hop right in. The soap breaks the water's surface tension and the fleas will sink -- and drown. And that's the On The House tip for today.
