Time out!!

Time out while I battle a flea infestation!!  This is not an uncommon occurrance during a rainey spell.  I've just managed to avoid it for many years.   Standard procedure around here is to treat the dog or pet, treat the inside of the house, the pets' bed or toss it in the washing machine weekly, and treat the yard.  Which is a good argument for keeping the dog confined to the yard.  And the battle is time consuming, because after vacating the house with pet(s) while it's fogged, one must vacuum - and vacuum - and vacuum for several days in order to pick up flea eggs and those that will hatch over the next few days.  AND, in between vacuuming, one launders everything that can be put in a washing machine.  Am I worn out?  Youbetcha!
