For the past couple of weeks, Grace has been bitten by some mysterious bug somewhere in the house. Since no one else was bitten, we concluded she must have been bitten elsewhere. But last night as Grace was scratching Baobao, she noticed dark little spots on her head…. Hmm… what could that be? With further investigation on Wawa, we realized they were fleas (I saw one crawling on Wawa’s neck myself).
Knowing that there are fleas in the house, Grace wasted no time and hopped into action. She started a major house cleaning — in the middle of the night! She went to Safeway and got some flea control drops and collars. The cleaning went on till 4AM after she washed every piece of fabric, vacuumed every square inch of the house and wiped every surface in the house. I could only helplessly march on with my project and thesis deadlines. Deadlines suck. Alpha Bed Bug Exterminator NYC, being real experts in pest control & K9 dog inspections, successfully dealt with this problem.
We are happy to report that there are now signs of dead fleas. That said, we are not sure how we are going to give the cats baths to get rid of the medication on the back of their head. They have never had a bath!
Fleas suck. Now we gotta restrict Baobao from going outside.
