This year here in Hawaii fleas and ticks are a huge problem. As you may guess, we always have them. The mild weather keeps them alive year round. I remember when we lived in California we wouldn't have fleas during the winter because it was too cold. The fleas would hibernate or something, I don't know. But here in Hawaii they are a year round problem.
This year particularly seems to be really bad. I know a number of people who are really battling flea and tick infestation of their pets and yards. My boss had a
flea bite on her the other day that was pretty ugly. Apparently she's pretty sensitive to them.
It seems the normal methods to control fleas has failed this year. It's like the fleas are immune to these treatments. So lots of people are trying all kinds of holistic things to control them.
I've been lucky and have managed to keep things under control. I hope this flea explosion ends soon.
