Fleas!

[ancianita]

17. Here's a relatively cheap, sure remedy (kills all small insects like bedbugs) -- edible grade diatomaceous earth. It's

available in farm supply stores or on Amazon. It used to be $5 for a couple of pounds, but even at higher prices these days, it's the safest, best working killer for bedbugs and fleas on pets and around the house. Best on the market.

Read reviews on Amazon. It works. Just don't breathe it in too much.

It's got the feel of cornstarch, so rub it all over your pets' fur, sprinkle it all around your floors and rungs, then sweep it across floor textures, into your rugs, and into the sideboards to kill all bedbugs, fleas and wandering tiny critters. It's made of diatoms, and a teaspoon dissolves in a glass of water so one can drink it to get rid of any unknown GI tract invaders from wherever.
