Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 But Doreen, you didn't tell me how to get rid of the moths! We don't have any cat food, as we have no cats; and the dog food is in cans. I have no idea what to do about the pesky things, as they're now getting in the kitchen cabinets and flying around the kitchen and den. I had no idea that they could get in bird seed! I guess I kept it around for too long before using it.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 You can bathe dogs/cats with Dawn dish soap to help get rid of fleas- the best of the prescription meds for the animals is Revolution- it kills and prevents fleas, ticks, and even mites- it is great and pretty safe- actually safer than the over the counter meds- they often cause liver damage to pets. We have to be vigilant with any infestations - caring for over 250 rescued pets here at our home is a major undertaking without having something like fleas take over too! I ahve to say one of the hardest parts of caring for the animals and having RA is the water bottles! we have about 100 of them and the twisting of the caps off & on and then turning the water faucet off & on can get to me sometimes! I try to have other volunteers do some of that stuff though. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Moth balls? Although you'd have to catch a lot of moths to collect enough so they'd get the point. Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, though, check with your local " Do-It-Yourself " pest control. They've been so helpful to me on a variety of bugs....Doreen > > But Doreen, you didn't tell me how to get rid of the moths!
