I went on a water heater leak call last night around 8:30...last call of the day.
It was a rental unit,1 of 4 in a huge Victorian home. I went into the basement checked out the heater and left. 4 min. max. Got in my truck and headed home. I got about 5 miles out and thought I felt itchy, looked down and saw 3 black dots on my fore arm...I pulled into a gas station and they were fleas. I estimate I had between 75-150 maybe more, fleas in my truck. I counted 10 just on my invoice. I drove to Low*s and bought a spray bomb and set it off...went out to the truck this AM and had to do it again this time with the 2 bombs I had left...this is a nightmare that has extended into a daymare.

Garlic wards off Fleas.....

I know some people that fleas simply love
to jump on the second that they get anywhere near them..

some poeple give off a scent that must smell and taste like honey to the flea..
.

Fleas have never been a problem for me
I must taste very, very bad to fleas,
cause I can literally lay in them and they run away from me....


I think that the secret is GARLIC..
I usually take a few of the tabs every day.....




I have always found cock-roaches more offensive.
I absolutely hate dragging eggs back to my home.



I guess you took off your clothes before you went
inside your home last night????

.......

Stood naked on the deck, went in and took a shower... then went out and wrapped the clothes up and into the front loader they went.

I hope you quoted a high enough price that someone else gets the pleasure of doing the job!:cool:

I called and told her that I would not be back and she needed to find someone else.

I was not going to go back for any reason...fleas can take weeks and weeks to get rid of. Even if sprayed with an insecticide killing the adults the pupa can hatch the next day...Nylar breaks the cycle but takes time to work.
