[AlternativeAnswers] Re: Fleas

Fill empty cottage cheese plastic containers or any containers about half full of either common table salt, rock salt or any salt. Slip these under furniture and out of the way, one or more to each room depending on the size of the room. And forget about them. Somehow the salt in the air sterlizes the fleas and they cannot breed anymore and die off.

I have been using these bowls of salt for about 10 years or more and have not had any fleas at all.

[AlternativeAnswers] Re: help get ants out of my house

DE (diamataceous earth) works very well and is not harmful to animals. Put it along baseboards and around entire perimeter of house. Get the food quality type because that has no heavy metals, should your pets get in contact with some.
Another thing I've learned over the years and has just worked even better for me, is that if they are invading places in the kitchen, they could be looking for water this time of year. So dry everything off that could give them a supply.
Good luck!

[AlternativeAnswers] Fleas & ants

So next summer, if I plant some peppermint, lemon grass, and catnip around the yard, that will help reduce or eliminate fleas and mosquitos? I don't mind planting them. I just want to know.

We can always use catnip for our cats. I can harvest the peppermint for teas and cooking. As for the lemon grass, I'm not a fan of lemon so they can stay outside.

Life is like a roller coaster. There are ups and downs, but hopefully at the end, you can say you were thrilled.
