Ok, so fleas and mosquitoes love me. I'm not sure why, it could be a body chemistry thing or a slightly higher body temp. All I know is that my wife and I can be standing in the same room... Her, they do not touch but me, they devourer.
At any rate, beyond chemical sprays or whatnot is there a botanical method that can be done in the yard to stop them, or slow them, before they get to the house?
Know people say mint will deter ants, which I'll be planting around the house for the simple reason that I like it in tea if anything else.. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with fleas.
Problem area is not in the main house, but in the basement. We've got a cat door to the basement which we close the cats up in at night to keep them from wandering around. Their litter boxes are also located down there.
Now, I'd say sure, they're living on the cats but this is not the case. I'd sprayed them down with Frontline's spray and there are no fleas on them.
I'll be picking up some glue traps as well. You know, those ones with the night light above them? I'd used them in the past with much success so I'm hoping that it will solve the problem inside. But keeping them at bay outside is another question.
Looking forward to your thoughts.. :)
