\"Benny<\/a>Today I found a small tick on Benny, thankfully it was on the top of his fur. That was enough to send me into a frenzy washing all the fabric in the house. Yes, I just did it last week after my cold, but we’re only talking maybe 20 towels, sheets, blankets and pillow cases. I don’t have fabric furniture and the floors are vinyl tile.\u00a0 I flea comb Benny when he comes in from woods walking. I put Frontline Plus on the kitties every 3 weeks during warm weather and monthly when it’s cool.\u00a0 I keep food grade diatomacous earth <\/a>swept into the corners and baseboards in the summertime.\u00a0 I seldom have fleas or insects of any kind. \u00a0 For 30 years I was using local Vegas pest control services<\/a>, now I do it myself using Ortho’s Home Defense Max<\/a>, which is safe for the cats.\u00a0 That’s why I fly immediately into action when I see a flea or a tick.\u00a0 We are a pest free zone and I intend to keep it that way.\u00a0 Even when Benny doesn’t do his part.<\/p>\n
