On the bright side, at least you're attending to them immediately instead of waiting for more problems to appear apart from an infestation of crisis proportions. As for the ants, have you thought about putting ant sheeting in the roof? <br /><br /><a href="http://eaglepestandchemical.com/bumble-bee-removal/" rel="nofollow">Eagle Pest Control & Chemical, Inc.</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13072281529116573854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-50006696366085554862011-08-06T15:15:21.676-07:002011-08-06T15:15:21.676-07:00Oh my gosh.

That was a horror show you went through. <br />I had those carpenter ants in my guest house and it took an exterminator to get them. They are almost as distructive as termites. <br />The flea trap like Peruby suggested really work. Fortunately I have my dog on Comfortis and that keeps my house free. I don't know if it is safe for cats or not. As long as it works on Mighty, I don't have any in the house. <br />Spiders keep me itching. Country living does have drawbacks but I wouldn't change. <br />Hope you are bug free for a while.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-76201990654657600222011-07-31T05:07:01.205-07:002011-07-31T05:07:01.205-07:00I remember when we lived in the country and had a ...I remember when we lived in the country and had a feral mama cat living in our basement... When we finally found her a home she left behind her fleas and once when I came upstairs my legs were coated with them. We had to buy stable flea spray and do the basement 3 times... Ticks are scary, though.Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355058095178542768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-50359573988507303722011-07-31T04:16:03.911-07:002011-07-31T04:16:03.911-07:00Not a big solution to the flea problem, but it doe...Not a big solution to the flea problem, but it does help a little.<br /><br />I took a bowl of water with dish detergent in it and sat it in the middle of the floor.<br /><br />I put a desk lamp over it (extension cord to a socket) and left it on all night.<br /><br />The heat attracted the fleas and when they jump in the bowl of water the detergent is slippery and keeps them from getting back out. They drown.<br /><br />Good luck. The ticks?

Soon I could see them hopping around in the living room carpet and in my bed. We had trouble with ants too last year. Still, I would consider your ticks the worst.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829543826729715346.post-49967978422798004912011-07-30T18:57:27.396-07:002011-07-30T18:57:27.396-07:00I'm not in the country, but we've had our ...I'm not in the country, but we've had our share of bugs.
