I think it has to do with the flooding that we have had here too, that and it has been very warm this winter, we really haven't had a winter, even though our winters are mild we typically have freezing night temps often and this year we haven't. Our rye grass (what we seed to keep yard green in winter) has burnt up, pansies are dying from warm weather etc.
See...I am stressing because I don't think I am out of the woods with fleas because of the flea cycle...ugggghhh!!! Please let me know if the flea med works and what it is. We are currently doing Capstar, I had done Frontline on Dec.28 so they have just got to where I can give them a new med and not really caring for the reviews and how new the med is that the vet suggested. The crazy thing is my dogs don't go outside here at my house since I am paranoid about the owl and hawk invasion a few months back
. I am at a loss as to how they got them it has my mind boggled!!
As far as the herbal stuff...I am not very "green", just give me something to kill the crap and lets move on...If I could get my hands on some diazinon I can promise you I wouldn't have any fleas in the yard! But the EPA has made is so hard to get even if you have commercial pesticide license...it ticks me off
If you know any farmers you may can get some and that stuff will kill whats in your yard...its good stuff!
