Ok thanks but still wonder why I haven't seen a flea in years. I used to see them on the dogs all the time.
I've said it before but I haven't seen a tick since I've been in Maine, and I've spent days and nights in the woods. Either we have deer ticks here or the state is wasting a lot of money warning us about Lyme Disease, but I haven't seen any. As for fleas, since someone mentioned them, I haven't seen a flea in well over a decade, since I've been feeding premium foods to my cats. Before that, they'd get fleas from time to time, and I can remember one huge infestation.
I've not seen this many tics in my life, just found another one a few minutes ago that has been leaving little bites on me since last night. It is taking away my outlet, walking on our trails, I loved clearing vines and cutting trails, now I even get them little buggers walking or working in the yard.
