Round Worms in a Cat

This picture shows round worms that were “barfed” up by my cat. This is a Veterinary Problem not a Pest Control Problem.

My wife bought some medicine from a Pet store to add to the cats food.  These could have been injested from a flea, a bird or a rodent that the cat may have eaten.  Usually she is an indoor cat.  If you have Fleas then that is a Pest Control problem.  Give us a call at 457-4341 or 1-800-828-5508 if you feel that you have a problem with fleas.

Icynene Insulation is an Air Barrier

If you are considering Icynene for insulation  of your home, please consider the following:  Icynene will cut your heating bill in half.  You do not have to do an air seal as the Icynene does that automatically as we install it.  You can use one-half the heating system.  You should use one-half the air conditioning system. Do not use the largest system as recommended by the engineers.  You do not need to install ventilators in the roof, soffits or roof jacks.  (That is required for fiber insulation as it leaks air.)  You should consider a Heat Recovery Ventialtion system. (Preferably one with a HEPA Fliter system.

Fleas Must Have Hair

The adult cat flea is a curious creature.  Lay one down on a slick table and it will just lay there and spin around.  The flea is designed to walk through hair.  The hair keeps the flea upright.  The flea has very powerful legs that allow it to jump fantastic distances.  It can jump ten inches or so from the carpet up onto a cat or dog.  Once on the animal the cat stays there the rest of its life.  The female cat flea then starts sucking blood.  It needs blood in order to lay eggs.

Prepare Landscape for Treatment

  • Move the landscape plants away from the structure. This maybe too much to ask in some cases; however, with a newly built home the landscaper should follow these rules. They can easily keep plants away from the structure.
  • Have a crushed rock or concrete path next to the house for the first 4 – 6 feet.
