Re: Pesticide help please!
For your back yard and around your house. I would use Diatomaceous earth. It can be used as flea treatment on pets and in and outside your home. I have used it and it does work.
I would look up some info and follow directions. It can be found at lowes.
I have never had a single problem with my animals when I have used it.
Good luck though, fleas can really be a pain!!

Great idea Kristy! Thanks :)
We have little house geckos and stuff living around the yard... and I just don't want to wipe out all the residents, if ya know what I mean! :oops: I wonder if you can make a spray out of it to use inside? *Knock on wood* We don't have a problem, yet... but after walking over there, I wouldn't be surprised if they migrate across the street... our legs we COVERED just in the front yard! :O
Thanks again for the great idea! :D
Re: Pesticide help please!
I will have to concur. DE is very safe to use around and on pets. It is only harmful to those with exoskeletons ;)
KILL 'EM LAURA! I hate fleas with a vengeance.

Hahaha! :8: I'm with ya girl! Two of the other ladies and I are planning a secret undercover flea bombing... ;) We're gonna just run over and throw bombs into the house until we get the Fle-a-nator here! :D
I'll talk to them about the DE too.... no one is very comfortable going over there, because the bank hasn't stepped in to re claim it... and the Neighborhood association can't do anything because I guess it's still in limbo before going into foreclosure... :confused: But it's not a problem if we stand in the street and throw handfuls of DE at the house! :rofl: Might haft to tape that one... :P
Re: Pesticide help please!
Yeah the DE stuff awesome.
You can even rub it into your pets fur for treatment.
There is also a way to mix it up and use a spray. Be careful though, it can be somewhat harmful to your nose and eyes as you are spreading the dust, once the dust settles its totally safe.
My mother in law came up to visit a few years ago, and I guess she has like 15 cats. She brought fleas with her. I couldn't figure out why I was itching so bad on my legs. Then I noticed my son who was two at the time had one on his neck and flea bites all over his neck. I was furious. I treated everything, and within a week they were all gone. Fortunately I didn't have any furry pets to worry about at the time.
So it didn't take too long to get rid of them.
Re: Pesticide help please!
So glad to know that it works that well! :gj:
I feel a ton better... I've been stressing over what to use since we all discovered the Flea Farm! :rolleyes:
