- To Banish Fleas: A certain green strong plant which grows abundantly in bogs is used by country people to banish fleas from feather beds. The leaves are placed between the under sheet and the mattress. The leaves have a kind of pleasant pungent odour and produce the desired affect. K Vaughan (57 years), Gearagh, Bantry, Co Cork
