Continuation of free kittens in Butler

[Medusa]

Just a short note: vacuuming will NOT get rid of the fleas. Take it from someone who had her own house cleaning business. The vacuum cleaner, no matter how good or expensive it is, can spit out the eggs and shoot them elsewhere. In order for a house to be totally rid of fleas and the eggs, it has to be "bombed". Otherwise, humans will get infested, too.

I don't know if this will work or not, but my friends's mom told me to put moth balls inside of the vacuum and it will kill the fleas. I am going to try that until I can afford the advantage. Will see what happens. I hate getting fleas.

I've heard of that and don't know whether or not it's successful. It may kill live fleas but it doesn't prevent the vacuum cleaner from spitting out the eggs and shooting them elsewhere and it won't get the eggs that are imbedded in the cats' fur.

I wanted to be sure about this so I conferred w/two friends, both of whom are exterminators; one has her own business. Both concur that bombing is the only sure way to be rid of fleas; one bomb per level should do it but, if the infestation is really bad, one bomb per room. Of course, all humans and animals must leave the premises for several hours.

I would love to bomb the house, but I don't think I will be able to get all seven cats out of the house because three are feral. We live by a busy road and I am scared they will get hurt if I let them all out at the same time. I am trying to save up enough money for advantage flea meds because they kill the fleas in the carpets and couches also. I used it once before last year and it was amazing. Hopefully, I can get some of the Advantage by next month. I am still working on the cat spays. The sixth cat goes today and the seventh cat goes next month. I am short money on the seventh cat so I am going to have to come up with that money and then start saving for flea control. Hopefully, everything will turn out ok. Love Rebecca

I have $14 left in the bank. Even I was surprised!

Will have housecleaning money this week, so will donate a bit to you and Jen.

hugs!
