The baking soda 'distribution' has definitely made an impact on the flea population. [View all]

There were FAR fewer fleas when I took out the outdoor kidcat's afternoon meal. I'm going to move their dishes out of that sheltered garden area, to a walkway and spike that food with vinegar. Next I'll hit that feeding spot with the diatomaceous earth. I thought it was going to rain tomorrow but the forecast has shifted so I'll get right back to spreading and spraying and looking for more solutions.

The flea traps will be here tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile I'm going to make a few 'home made' ones.

Unfortunately, I am being shunned by Madoc, Arthur and Sian because I had the AUDACITY to subject them to a topical flea treatment. Gryff agreed to a combing so I didn't want to push my luck with him. His claws are lethal and he's not afraid to use them in the process of escaping.

Carys will get a pill.

The pill shooter will be here tomorrow so I'm going to buy more flea pills because I'm not going to lose this battle!!!
