Fleas, fleas, and more fleas!!
It seems these days my life is being determined by fleas, fleas and more fleas! Its the craziest thing. First we had a few, and my poor daughter gets them drawn to her like a magnet, so we sprayed problem taken care of right? Wrong! They went away for a little while but now they are back in full force if not triple force and are taking over the yard and slowly making there way BACK INTO MY HOUSE!
The craziest thing is this. We have a cat and dog in the house that are regularly treated with flea medicine. Neither of them seem to have any fleas! What’s up with that?!? They are living in our grass and invading our home. I have always heard of a flea circus but this is ridiculous! I mean come on! People live in Georgia and don’t have nearly the problem I do. My daughter, my son, and myself are getting torn to shreds by these pests while my sister has not one bite one her! What makes my children and I so special?
So being proactive and trying to stay on top of the problem, I’ve purchased every flea control method I can find. I looked into some “professionals” but being on such a tight budget I can’t afford the outrageous pricing they have! I’m not talking a mere $100, I’m talking SEVERAL $100! I’m not made of money. I think someone is making bank on fleas… At any rate I went to the local feed store and got the locals advice on fleas and now I’m using a product call IG Regulator as well as something called Demon Wettable Powder. Here’s to hoping that it works and that the locals know their fleas. Other wise I’m at a loss for what step to take next! If you have any suggestions PLEASE COMMENT!

Have you tried borax on the carpets yet for indoors? It’s what my mother used when we had a problem. Not sure what to do for outside. You can read up on tactics for that if you search for borax fleas on Google. Some people don’t seem to get good results but we always did, and it’s cheap.
I’ve never tried Borax. Is it safe to have out with kids running rampant through the house?
