How to Get Rid of Fleas

Throw all of the pet bedding in the washing machine. That includes anything that the pets like to regularly lay or sleep on, which isn't always intended to serve as pet bedding. Does Fido love to nap on that throw rug in the living room? Wash it. Does Fluffy enjoy lounging on the doiley on the coffee table? Wash it. Wash it all - the bedsheets, the throw on the sofa, the bathroom rug.

Spray an insect growth regulator (IGR) like methoprene or pyriproxyfen. Room foggers (total release aerosols) aren't as effective as sprays unless they contain an IGR to prevent the larvae from turning into adult fleas. Without IGRs, larvae won't be controlled because they won't be reached at the base of carpet fibers where they develop.

Become friends with your vacuum cleaner. While the loose, potentially flea-infested items are being washed, arm yourself with a vacuum and suck the flea life out of every surface, nook and cranny you can find. While you're doing this, send the pet(s) outside, or confine them to the bathroom, so that any fleas they're carrying won't jump onto the surface you just vacuumed. Here are some spots to concentrate on:- areas that don't get much exposure to sunlight (fleas like humid and cool spots)- anywhere that you find dried blood and feces (flea debris)- upholstered furniture (lift up those couch cushions)- crevices around baseboards and cabinets (that's where the eggs and larvae are probably hiding)When the vacuum bag is full, seal it in a plastic trash bag and put it in a covered trash container, preferably outside. Otherwise, the little buggers can crawl out and make themselves cozy again.

Give Fido or Fluffy a bath. They might hate you for it but not as much as you hate the fleas.
Choose a flea shampoo carefully. Anything with conventional insecticides (pyrethrins, permethrin, d-limonene, chlorpyrifos, or carbaryl) might irritate or harm your pet, and the people around it.

Wash the neck first so that the fleas don't jump up to the head during the bath.
Apply a flea-killing product, available as a flea-collar, a spot-on, or oral medication. If the collar contains only insect growth regulator (which prevents larvae from turning into adults, but does not affect the existing adults) use another treatment, such as a spot-on product, to control adult fleas. The following products are not effective:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine hycrochloride) supplements
brewer's yeast
herbal collars
ultrasonic devices


Reclaim your back yard. Before letting the pet(s) outside, prune foliage and trim grass to expose flea larvae to sunlight. Look around. Do you see any dark, moist spots? Find a way to expose them to sunlight, if you can.

[Hmm.Uhhhh.Yeah]

Gregory Peck was extreeeeeeemly attractive when he was younger.

The end.

I’ve been 17 for one whole day.
It still feels like 16…
I can’t remember what I did on Thursday to put it on my time sheet.

Oh well.
Eric was re-instated, that’s nice.

I have been 17 for three minutes...

It feels the same as 16.

“You only hold me up like this, ‘cause you don’t know who I really am.”

Quoting falloutboy today…because…why not?
Yesterday my mother made me come to school despite the fact that we had a 2 hours delay so I’d only be at tec for half an hour anyway.
She waited in the car…not even kidding, we were only there for half any hour so she waited for us…I don’t even have anything to put on my time sheet that I did for that day….

Plus also I got a right-handed guitar that I’m going to try out, I might return it, anyway my goal is to teach my self the play right-handed since it would make finding a guitar easier and cheaper.
I think it’s upfair that we left handed people have to pay more for things to be made for us..it’s HANDISIM!!!!

So I have a feeling I might be setting a bad example as a witness for my schoolmates so I need to work on that.

ANNNDDDDDDD I have to start working on my talk soon.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,..

Reasons why I hate first honors ceremony
1) I have to stand in front of hundreds of pairs of eyes, but not in the OK way like at the meeting when I’m giving a talk
2) I don’t like being the center of attention.
3) My parents won’t be there to clap for me (they never are because the ceremony is at 9:30 am when they are working)
4) People only clap for me out of politeness because no one knows who I am, because I have homeschooled & a witness so no one knows or cares who I am.
5) I always have to go alone.
6) I always blush. ( I don’t like when I blush)
7) I can’t even wear the cute little Key pins they give me because they are more like tie clips and I’ll lose them or fall off or it will appear garish and in poor taste, you know, like I’m bragging about it…well maybe it won’t appear like that but I’ll feel that way.
8) I don’t even really like pastries or any sweet thing that much.

Reasons Why I like First honors ceremony
1) I get a cool recognition pin and flower
2) We can eat all the pastries we want while we are there.




-_- Am I being childish? Probably... but oh well I am only 17 (give or take a few days) after all.

*Muppets theme playing*

Dadadadadadad
I can’t decide if I want to do a cheap spin off of twilight or a cheap spin off of the magic of ordinary days.

These things are important for my life..ha-ha not really.

I am tense today….Hhhhhhh (ß- the sound of a sigh)


I have first honors today so I have to go stand in front of rveryone and me humilliated.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"




I am very melancholy today

I just found out some news








THERE ARE TECH SCHOOLS IN ALLENTOWN THAT HAVE PHOTGRAPHY AS A CLASS OPTION!

I wish I lived in allentown.
Not that I don't like Graphics...
I could use graphics in Walkhill

But man, oh man, I wish so badly that I could take photography.

-_-

One more year left.

Then I'll Support my pioneering one either bar tending or massage therapy..
I really need to decide on one of those...

Plus also I'm really excited for pio. school this fall *screams with excitement*

Through The Back Of A Witness- Lower Deffinition

Lyrics:
We are surrounded by this place!
Disguise the eyes of angles.
To match your perfection!

You are the lungs inside my chest.
The beating heart of my existence!
These arms weave together!

You are the lungs inside my chest.
The beating heart of my existence!
These arms weave together!

Sent with a telegraph.
Tell all the villagers!
Cut down the airwaves.
I'm with her always!

Sent with a telegraph.
Tell all the villagers!

I could be, everything you needed.
It's right in front of you. I could be, e
verything you needed.
It's right in front of you.

I've saw the sorcerer sword,
Stabbed through the back of a witness!
From there arms, from there arms!
I've saw the sorcerer sword,
Stabbed through the back of a witness!

From there arms, from there arms!
With our pockets filled with ammo we rule, this world together!
With our pockets filled up with ammo we rule, this world together!
With our pockets bulging with ammo we rule, this world together!

Together, Together...Ohhh



The End,
Great song yeah?
I better not forget about it.

I'm inschool again.
With nothing to really do again.
Well....there is my time sheet.


I should get on that...

Nahhhhhh

So the memo pans that we burned plates for LAST year and the hoodies that we all ordered LAST year are finaly getting done, we ran the memo pans on the press this week and cut and clued them, and I'm kinda the queen of the hoodie order now (not fun, let me tell you) so it's deffinatly going to get done because I want my swaetshirt BEFORE I graduate next year.

I hate that this computer doesn't have auto spell check, our computer at home does.... but people are always on it when I feel inspired to write.

I have a back up notebook for journaling in my room,I need a new one soon though haha.

I started another blog. In which I will post My stories…. It is called MaStories
Also my teeth hurt really badly, I got my braces put on my bottom teeth yesterday, the bottoms hurt A LOT more then the tops, I woke up a few times in the night, had to put an icepack on my mouth…I’m surprised I didn’t pee the bed.

Oh well, It really hurts and we have drug assembly today, where the police come a yell at kids to scare them away from drugs.

It makes a lot of people cry…a lot of people here have lost loved ones to drugs…and yet still abuse drugs themselves…figure that out.

I know better than to use them.

My teeth hurt…in case you forgot.

Sydney gets neutered today.

Going to work on my! awesome! typography project.

Dear Bloggert,

I am at tec right now and not supposed to be doing blog things...but oh well I only have 10 min left of class, then it's lunch,home,dentist,work.

I could be wrorking on my timesheet......
Nah.

ANYWHO I'm thinking of writing my version of those twilight books that everyone is obsessed with right now.....Cause I read em and I think some things need to change....

Idk...I might post it on here since my creativity flows freer when I'm typing ....

Or maybe it doesn't IDK...Typing is just alot faster and easier to read.

Cassie

The titile of this has nothing to do with anything.

My weekend rocked.
I meet some cool people.
Got a book on sketching which is the form of art that I suck the least at.
& a book on knitting.
I'm ready for winter.
I'm not going to meet my time this month.
I feel like a failure as a Pioneer.


Oh well, I can do it! Must.Try.HEARDER!!!!

[Shut up world]

QuarkXpress isn't working on my acount.
I am depressed.

You wnat to know what gets my goat?

When people tease me when I'm being serious.

I mean, I understand that in the bigpicture my problems don't matter && that 5 years from now I'll look back and say "haha foolish me"....

That is then, this is now...

NOW my problems are big enough to bother me...

NOW these thinga are important ans weight upon my mind...

NOW these things are stressfull to me...

NOW I feel stupid && not worth any respect when you laugh at me because I said I feel scared && old at the Idea of being almost 18.


I wish I had never cursed the world with my existence....

there is no good news that I wish to discuss in the entry....

[Goodnight]

[Sufficient for each day is it's own suckyness]

....yeah...I said suckyness...

I'm feeling too inadequate to articulate properly, bear with meh.

I lost a really good friend this weekend.

I do not care to discuss it with myself in detail.

I miss her...... Satan has pulled her away. I hope it is only temporary.

:[

In other news....
One the one hand...
I could dress with modesty & soundness of mind, not trendy, but according to my mothers/Bible standards...
OR
I could dress like everyone else, lose my individuality, but be considered more attractive & hence acceptable by my peers...

I just want to be pretty and fit in :\ It's cruel that life would dish a horrendous curse like ugliness on anyone.

I wish that I was not so socially awkward & developmentally challanged.

Oh well

On the bright side, if I keep up my best effort to live for Jehovah, He'll love me despite my flaws.

Time CRAWLS in school........

Books

Thanks to civil rights it's no longer illegal for black people to know how to read so I don't have to worry about being half literate I can be 100% literate


Thank Jehovah for that because I love reading

Feriheight 451 was really good, confuzing at some points but good, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars

"The Cider House Rules" by John Irving was really really good if you could stay focused && find the underling message which is almost to easy to lose amidst the writers excessive jabber..anyway the point of the 400+ page story is Don't judge ppl till you've been there

I just finished the book "the Virgin Suicides" I was pretty stellar.


Now I would like to see the film


&& I'm re-reading "justlisten" by Sarah Dessen && next I want to read "running with sicors"


"she's come undone" was a really......moving book.



...K well i'm done trying to sound pretentious && what not.
