And no I do not mean the shopping place! Our house has been overtaken by FLEAS, the kind that never die. Today marks a week from the first outbreak. We have tried just about everything!
- Spraying our house with this crazy strong flea killing spray (3 times) -DIDN'T WORK
- Removing all cushions, curtains, rugs and pillows and spraying those -STILL NOTHING
- Putting out glass jars sprayed with PAM (weird tip we heard) -NOPE!
- Filling jars with soapy water and placing them around the house -CAUGHT 2 FLEAS
- Coating our house with Borax -WORKED! BUT ONLY FOR 2 DAYS =(
We thought we had the end of the pesky little bugs. However, tonight I have found 20 without even trying. I am really frustrated and ready to have my house back - I don't like sharing it. Oh and for Bauer, he has been out on the porch for a week...WITH NO FLEAS! Yes, Bauer is flea free and probably laughing at us thinking "payback!" Norah, well she is getting held a lot.
Tomorrow is another day and probably another crazy home remedy...Brings a whole new meaning to "don't let the bed bugs bite!!"

When Grandpa and I managed the Oakridge Motel someone brought a dog with them in the room. The only way we could get rid of the fleas was to set a bug bomb in the room. You would have to put several around and go and stay at you parents home for a few days. Grandma G
Maybe a 'sign' for you to look at some beautiful flea-free homes here?!

You can "flea" here. I'm starting to feel much better.
