It wouldn't be a bad idea to do the yard also. Where I lived before I had
carpenter ants infest the house and had to spray outside weekly to keep a barrier around the house to avoid re-infestation. The added bonus was that the product I used also killed fleas. I just made sure that on the days that I sprayed that my dogs weren't out playing in the yard. Celeste "Alison" wrote in message ...

Not enough cats let all those rats with plague-carrying fleas spread throughout all of Europe unchecked! Hugs, CatNipped
