Ticks in carpet?

Ticks are like cockroaches. When Armageddon hits, those will be the only survivors.

I am not in the all natural camp. I use a monthly flea and tick treatment on my cats as they are the only source of these critters getting into my house. This keeps most of the problem at bay, but we are always checking for ticks anyway when we pet them and I still find myself removing ticks. Generally this means it's time to treat them again. Seems to be the worst around here in the spring and fall and I think is has something to do with the animals being warm when it is cooler outside and this attracts them more, but that's just a personal opinion.

In the house we also keep a flea and tick collar in our vacuum. A couple of days of thorough vacuuming of the carpets and furniture when we notice fleas usually clears them out. Fleas seem to be worst here in the summer.

My cats generally don't go out in the winter. I don't prevent them from doing so, it just seems they're smart enough to stay in when there's 6 foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is below freezing

thanks for that

i'm gonna burn this f****** camper trailer thing as soon as i get my C.O. maybe donate it to the fire dept.

completely unrelated but, i wonder how many of those tiny house people are actually living there full time after 1 year.

there was a funny saying about european hotel rooms. if i got a h*** o*, i wouldn't be able to turn around.

There was a tiny home just down the road from us, it was only there 1 year. They seem to be smaller than an RV.

When I first graduated college, 2 of my friends and I rented a house. It had wall to wall carpeting and the carpeting had fleas!!! We had no idea what to do, so we rented a carpet steam cleaner and steam cleaned the carpeting twice. The fleas were gone.
