Fleas are insects. They breathe by means of spiracles, which are simply holes in their sides. Water doesn't block spiracles because of surface tension. But organic solvents are deadly to insects. Black engine oil is foul and dirty. Don't even think about pouring it all over your pet. Instead bathe your pet in flea soap.

Isopropyl alcohol will kill fleas when spritzed directly on them, and it is harmless to everybody.
