No Flea Zone ... "Fleeezy" ?
Sept. 16:
There they were every morning when I walked into my little office. . . . ...
They were like any other hungry baby animals, but smaller. . . . .... .. .
At first I tried denial, but the next day there more of them. . . . .. . . . .. .. .
The next day there were twice as many & different sizes. .. .. ... .. . ..... .. . . ........ ...
Some could really hop high & some became very fast at hopping.
Do not use the thumb & index finger, but just the index finger alone to "get" one.
One night when I had to go answer the phone, I was attacked by
2 or 3 big hungry fleas. That's when I realized I must come up with a plan.
At first I used water in a cup to drown the unfortunate trapped fleas.
Rubbing alcohol probably works better, but water doesn't smell bad if it spills.
Victory was limited. So I divised Plan-B
Hair spray. I tried it this morning. So far, No Fleas.
I'll give another report tomorrow...
Sept. 18: One Flea yesterday morning. One shot of Hair Spray ... No Flea.
Sept. 20: Ah-ha! One Flea in Bedroom. He got away briefly, but I think I got him. If not, he'll leave flea bites tonight.
