[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1272131, member: 23511"] What's the dang deal, we have lived here for 3 years and every summer we start getting bit with fleas (mostly around the lower legs and ankles after being outside). I spray the porch, the barns, some of the yard but I am tired of this bull. We have 1 dog and 4 barn cats that spend most of their time on the porch. NO indoor pets. They are all on monthly flea medicine and I powder the dog so much that he is going to get poisoned I think. The previous owners had plenty of dogs with fleas so I may be dealing with a yearly thing. Anyway, what would be best to spray the yard and barn with, we have free range chickens that I put up at night and have been spraying/powdering their coop as well. I don't know where the fleas are, the yard, the dirt floor of the barn, under the porch? I have concentrated on the porch but I think I'm getting them in the barn, or on the way to the barn (near the house). I have tried seven dust in the barn last year, and tried it in the garden hose sprayer but I just don't see how a dust is going to take care of it? I tried permethrin and it did not seem to work as well as the seven dust? Nothing has worked well so far. I don't want the whole yard to smell like malathion either, plus we have kids that come over and run around here and there. Any ideas? we were not "pet" people before moving here and are trying to catch up. I am ready to hook up the boom sprayer and carpet bomb the whole place soon, I can't stand this, nearly as bad as the ticks in the woods. [/QUOTE]
