2. and to think ....

Last year was hell here in Calif. w/the drought. Two nasty infestations of bugs occurred, clothing moths and fleas galore everywhere to be found!

I called up a couple of "pet friendly" exterminators and believe me they are not pet friendly at all. One was to use neonicotinoids, the other some sort of chrysanthemum based product to solve the problem(s).

I didn't hire any of them and it turned out to be the job from hell getting rid of these pests, but they are indeed now gone without using any of the above.

Ass-busting work is what it took to conquer these pests and renting a huge dumpster and having many things hauled away and burned. That did it!

I suppose it would have been easier to pay someone to spray these chemicals around but I am not sure it would have solved the problem(s).

Glad I didn't do it now after reading this!

& recommend.
