Almost finished with the first of a SERIES of flea killing lawn treatments [View all]

I just have to move the sprinkler, one more time. Then I'll see if I notice an actual difference. Tomorrow will be cloudy and Wednesday we get rain. I'm shooting for Thursday to give the lawn another dose, depending on what I see (or don't see).

I'm going to spray the screened in porch with Raid flea killer, which is something I'd never use in the house, but I also know I probably need something strong for out there. I did COVER the deck with food grade diatomaceous earth. The inside furniture and floors are getting the same treatment, today.

At least I now know how bad the situation is so I won't be carrying them back in to the house with me. I do a very thorough brush down and inspection before coming back inside and wearing light colored clothes to make those bastards easier to spot.
