New Trouble

The rat is gone. The ants have been subdued. Because my life cannot possibly be simple or carefree, a new pest has come into my life to torment me.

Fleas.

My dog and cat have been itching like they're prepping for an Olympic event and I was a little slow to apply their Frontline. Next thing I know we've suddenly been plagued by "mosquito bites." This was not an inconceivable conclusion given the sighting of a few mosquitoes, but then...

I was in bed and my feet were under the covers when I felt a little nip. Then I felt it on my face. I went into the bathroom and saw a REAL LIVE FLEA on my foot. At that point I couldn't deny it any longer.

My battles always start with research into the psychology and habits of the critters then finding the eco-friendly solutions. Stay tuned...
