Fleas, fleas, and more fleas.
I treated my pussy and she still kept scratching. Today I found out
why. This morning I walked around the house in the nude. After standing in one spot for a while I saw several fleas advancing on my feet and legs. At first I try to catch them and crush them. They were too small to be crushed and just jumped off my fingers. Then I spent the next 15 minutes testing different parts of the house and catching fleas and washing them down the drain. Seems everywhere I stood still I would attract more than a dozen fleas. One even got as high as my wrist. I didn't have any flea spray so I used Hot Shot Flying Insect on the rug and hope direct contact will kill the fleas. Right now I'm scratching all over even though I can't find fleas on me. Gotta buy some flea bomb. |

What you want to do is get yourself some of this stuff: http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.co..._Can_A220.html This is professional exterminator quality flea control premise spray (and the site I linked has the best price I've found on it). I've used it myself; it really works wonders. Vacuum your house (this will get some of the fleas, and will stir up your carpeting to bring the eggs and hatchlings closer to the surface so the spray can work better), dump the contents of the vacuum bag at least 30 yards away from your house. Then spray it in accordance with the instructions. You'll have to repeat the procedure two to three weeks later to get new hatchlings. At the same time, see if you can drop your pet(s) off with the vet or groomer for a professional flea treatment (this will also get them out of the house while you spray), and start using Frontline Plus. -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | help, I'm | Skype, LJ-Gizmo: Robotech_Master | trapped in | Yahoo: robotech_master_2000 | a sig file! |

Also, you can use duct or masking tape to trap and get rid of fleas
you find on yourself. -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | help, I'm | Skype, LJ-Gizmo: Robotech_Master | trapped in | Yahoo: robotech_master_2000 | a sig file! |
