It would appear we too, here on the East Coast, have been plagued by f'ing fleas. Now, mind you, we too have done everything (bath, spray, dips, foggers) in order to try to get rid of 'em. No way, Jose. These suckers are Ninja fleas, trained in the art of bloodsucking and fur thinning. My poor dog has no ass fur. The vet says that fleas, like other insects, are now becoming immune to our chemicals. Go figure. Like the cockroach, the day the earth gets nuked, these suckers will be all that's left. <BR/><BR/>The God/dess has a seriously warped sense of humor. <BR/><BR/>Goo' luck and all that jazz. <BR/><BR/>C.Claudiakysstherayne.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-56118734071991415672007-10-30T02:43:00.000-04:002007-10-30T02:43:00.000-04:002007-10-30T02:43:00.000-04:00Oh I'm not even going to share what my children call the summer plague of '99...it might push you over the edge.

I'm enjoying reading your blog. I found it somehow when I was googling to find out if there's any twp ordinances for chickens in Havertown. I have devoured your birth story and just wanted to say hi - and congratulations. If you're ever over by Merwood park in the h-town, knock on up because I have a little brood here of my own and am always up for company. Be well.kathykf.lopezatmac.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-67868714541589566652007-10-15T15:07:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:07:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:07:00.000-04:00We have an ant problem that is about to drive me completely batshit.

The cat went beserk and I took it to the SPCA after it took the tip of my thumb almost clean off and scratched my neighbour's daughter's eye. (He told me either get rid of the cat or i'll sue you).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, after the cat left we had a total infestation of fleas with no host other than us. I had to get an exteriminator in and fumigate our home, wash all the bedding, clothers, etc.<BR/><BR/>I also sympathize with you!Franny Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424392094287133562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-39056179481761291612007-10-02T16:12:00.000-04:002007-10-02T16:12:00.000-04:002007-10-02T16:12:00.000-04:00Oh that sucks. It makes our little ant infestation of last summer seem not so bad. And I know you had to have been desperate to have pesticides in your house. I hope all the creepy crawlies are long gone. <BR/>I am jealous of your super-clean house though.TBhttp://soulgardening.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-13071907584825366392007-09-29T19:08:00.000-04:002007-09-29T19:08:00.000-04:002007-09-29T19:08:00.000-04:00Fleas and bity things don't like citronella essential oil, mix about six drops with 50ml of a carrier oil like almond oil and put that on your legs, it helps!. and if you can handle the smell either burn citronella candles or put some drops of straight oil onto your carpets. Oh and moving around the house keeps the little buggers hatching on a regular basis and being smacked down by the chemicals so when you get the place treated go back in asap and stomp around a bit even if you do it every few hours it will be more effective than leaving them to hibernate in their little eggs and wait for the chemicals to wear off.<BR/>Yes I have been dealing with bugs this year too!kaybeejaenqhttp://solokiwimum.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-72077807352506077352007-09-26T10:33:00.000-04:002007-09-26T10:33:00.000-04:002007-09-26T10:33:00.000-04:00Fuck.

I remember this happening one summer when I was about 11 and our cat never even went outside (strange but true). Of the four humans, I was the preferred host and would find them slurping away at the top of my socks. For some reason I didn't thing it was particularly gross at the time, just annoying and itchy. I remember the foggers well!SlowGardenernoreply@blogger.com
