Plenty of stuff but I'd say the top three things would be allergies, heart burn, and fleas.
omg fleas suck
@Malt_Hitman You. Dick. I'm sorry I asked. Now I'm itching.
lol
Victory!
the vacuum is your friend
and also all the pesticides

the bowl of water under a light doesn't do much
That's good to know. What about vinegar?
idk, didn't have the fleas here, but visited my parents when they had a problem
my sister + outdoor cats
it's easier to deal with if the animals are outside
Ah, damn. Yea, having outdoor cats bringing back fleas would suck.
one thing to know is that the eggs can keep hatching for months, but you can mostly get them with the vacuum
isk about all flea types, but the ones that like cats actually need to feed on a cat on order to lay eggs
so if they're cut off from their food source, it's easier to get rid of them
That's going to be hard. We have, um, 7 cats? I think it's 7 now.
wow
flea baths did help with the outdoor cats, but idk how often you have to do that
We put Frontline on all of the cats. Got a bunch of spray cans of Pet Armor for the rugs and furinature. Then there's the washing of all the blankets and stuff.
Oh, and combing the fleas off with a flea comb and putting them into soapy water to kill them.
I've heard good stuff about diatomaceous earth, but never tried it
I read some on that but from what I read you had to leave the room empty for a few days. Not really practical around here.
it's possible you can have technically solved the problem, but still have hatching eggs
The flea spray claims that it gets eggs, too.
So in the coming week we'll have to do another spray down of the house as much as possible.
vacuum is the best for eggs; they just fall off of pets and lay on top of the floor
Good to know. Always more of that to do.
good luck, bug infestations are the worst
You're damn right.
had a pantry pest problem a couple moves ago; it was about a year before I bought flour again
Never had to deal with any of that. Worst was moths back when we had a dog. We opened a box of milk bones and they came flying out by the dozens. I think we were still finding and kill them weeks later.
yikes
these were tiny flightless beetles, found my stash of cocoa in the summer and had a grand time
didn't notice until we got home from a trip and had left the ac turned down
bugs hate cold, btw, that helps slow 'em down
Too bad it's just getting to be fall here. If it was winter maybe we could leave the windows open for a few hours, turn off the heat, and freeze'em.
But I'm out for the night. Take it easy and thanks for the tips.
