Oh, it's that time of the year again in sunny Southern California.
The sun, the ocean, and the fleas.
I have a small dog that is well taken care of(better than me). I spend quite a bit of time battling the neighborhood fleas. I use Advantage on my dog and the fleas die in droves. I use househgold flea spray and powder too. The bad part is that they then go for humans. Namely me. I must not taste good, because I guess they only go for a bite now and then, but it drives me crazy! Do they have Advantage for people?
I really think having a dog with the Advantage on her is one of the most effective anti-flea things. They jump on the dog, and die instantly. It really creeps me out how many dead fleas I find.
There are quite a few cats in the neighborhood, and I'm pretty sure that most are not being treated for fleas, as they are strictly outdoor cats. I had a neighbor that had two cats, that they never treated for fleas and it got really bad. I really felt sorry for those poor flea ridden cats. But thankfully they've moved and taken their cats with them. Now short of exterminating all of the other cats and furry mammals in the neighborhood, there is little that can be done to stave off the fleas.
Does everyone else in Southern California have alot of fleas in their neighborhood?
Is there anything else that can be done other than using craploads of poisins?
