And so they are back

[SeaCat]

Once more the black Fleas are back in southern Florida, or at least my part of it.

I know they are back, they are swarming without remorse.

Walking in the yard causes one to pick up many of them. Sitting on the patio causes one to find them on oneself. The Cats are scratching. I have reacted.

The cats have been treated with the drops. The Patio and the floors inside have been sprayed with a nice long lasting pesticide. (One room at a time and the cats aren't allowed into that room until the floor has dried.) The furniture has been sprayed. A six foot wide swath around the trailer has been liberally sprayed with Flea Killer. A nice barrier until it rains again. Then I will have to reapply it. It's a good thing I have a pump sprayer.

There are only a few things that annoy me more than Fleas. Too bad there isn't an easy way to get rid of them.

I had an infestation of fleas here in my house a couple of years ago. I couldn't use the back yard all summer.

They are a major pain.

We had a low of 5 and a high of 24 today. At least it keeps the insects in check.
