[QUOTE="witzend, post: 527794, member: 99"] Susie, thanks for the tip on the amonia! I always have benadryl around for the dogs, and there were [I]definitely[/I] some fleas in the carpet and/or lawn when we moved in and they ate me alive! Well, from the shins down, anyway. I was doped up on benadryl for days! The dogs got their Frontline and heartworm medications right on time, and between that and vacuuming up and washing all the dog beds - as if I didn't have anything else to do - I've been ok since then. I did do some research about what to put into carpets that might be safe, and apparently the expensive "safe" flea powders on the market are essentially Boric Acid, which is safe to pets and humans. Boric Acid = Boraxo. Cheap, cheap, cheap! I'm going to sprinkle the carpets the next time I vacuum, and the beds will be washed with it from now on. Katherine, I did get here in time for the Azaleas, they're beautiful! I missed the dogwoods, though. I'm seeing the magnolias in bloom now. Everything is WAY ahead of what we would see at home. I decided to go ahead and spend the $49 on the mosquito spray. The reviews on Angie's list are good, and if it doesn't work, then I'm not out a [I]lot[/I] of $$$ and lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
