Fleas Beware
I don't own a pet; however, my backyard has fleas.
I only have 1 neighbor that has a dog and I'm guessing his dog is letting his fleas run wild in my yard.
Ever since I was a child, insects have always just instantly latched onto me and bit me. So, anytime we go in the backyard, I try to remember to spray insect rebellant on us. However, sometimes I forget.
On day, someone must have carried a flea into my car because on a trip, I got bit about 10 times on my calves.
Since I don't own a pet nor have I really ever; I wanted to research how to get rid of fleas in your yard. On FleasControl.com, they have basic information about fleas, ways to kill them and flea control products.
Many plants have natural pesticides as a defense mechanism, and there are a few that you can use to keep your yard and garden flea-free.
Such as Lavendar, Mint and Eucalyptus. I don't really like the smell of Eucalyptus, so I may try planting some Lavendar. It smells nice and is pretty to your garden or yard.
