Dog's bane (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flea

'dog's bane' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flea that I've seen before include "Bug" , "Small parasitic insect" , "beastie?" , "little pest" , "In your ear, this insect is a rebuke" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the LA Times.
