Horrible fleas

Slugs and potato bugs are EXTREMELY bad too.

I seriously think chemtrail planes are dropping insect eggs to destroy our food and make us lose our minds. There are over 800 slugs per ten square feet, it's been fucking 40 degrees in June and nothing is going right.

You're not the only one with severe insect populations this year.

Slugs were bad for us last year, I couldn't open my door in the morning without at least 5 on the door and even more on the porch. I wish I had the slugs instead of fleas desu, slugs are cute and their slime us good for you, fleas are just an all out menace, I haven't even been letting the dogs sleep by me because of them.

Yeah, it could have been dormant flea eggs, especially if you've been keeping the a/c off to save money. They usually won't hatch until the temp is above 68°F

FYI, if you're looking for "natural" repellents, cedar oil is one I've used. I put a few drops into my mopping solution and mop the wood/tile floor with it. Don't use it if you have cats though; not sure about ferrets.

Also, they can live in house plants too. You'll have to get rid of those.

Also you should vacuum daily. Weekly isn't enough. And throw away the contents of your canister every time.

Winter was unusually mild. There's a shit load of insects this year. Same for song birds. I've never seen so many found fledgling threads either. Nothing hibernated this past winter or traveled south.

Also, for fleas, one of the BEST flea traps is using a night light positioned over top of an aluminum turkey pan or plate. In the pan/plate you put soapy water. The fleas go for the light/heat and fall into the water where they drown. You can catch nearly every flea with this trap.

I second this. I do this every once in a while without the fear of fleas as well just because it gives you a good idea as to what it in your house with you and how their populations are playing out. If you see a flea or two you don't need to panic so much but it'll let you know you have them in the environment and the extent to which they're present so keep doing it.
