QUESTION:
This may be a crazy question, but if you have a client that has a flea infestation and you want them to do the usual good IPM of vacuuming and tossing the bag, but they tell you they have a Dyson (bagless vaccuum cleaner), what do you tell them?

The clear canister shows exactly what you have captured and it is easily removed, opened, dumped, and cleaned, and I clean it thoroughly with an air nozzle and air compressor.
