Have you got carpet in your bedroom? the dogs may be clean but the carpet?

[lizziedoggarden]

Yes, that's the one..got carpet everywhere apart from Dining room..got wood floor there. I have a pretty good carpet shampooer, think I'll vacuum to kingdom come then shampoo? Got Dys0n so can't put flea powder down then hoover?

I kept being bitten last year...it drove me nuts as the bites were in some very weird places. Thought it was dog fleas but I am not sure it wasn't lice or red mite from the chooks. Never found out - went on holiday and came back and all ok. I did de-louse the chooks though.

[lizziedoggarden]

I'm fighting..and slowly winning.. fight with red mite..we both go in coop to clean/get eggs..seems odd we've been bitten and William hasn't? I remember that Helen..did you use spray or powder in the house?

[p.penn]

I used poutry shield, but also bought some Johnsons mite spray as it is handy just to squirt without soaking the coop.

The bite thing drove me mad though.

Avon skin so soft is a good deterrant to mossys

Flea bites are usually flat red circles whereas other insect bites like mossies are raised. Don't know about bed bugs or mites though.

[lizziedoggarden]

Ummm..they're not flat.. it's like there is a flat surface with a raised bit in the middle that looks like a tiny blister...tried taking a pic but my camera is rubbish and can't get a clear pic

Chicken pox??

[lizziedoggarden]

Blimey..hope not!
Both me and OH have them in the same place..am going to chemist today to see if I can show the pharmacist and maybe I can get something..drove me mad during the night..scratched to the point it hurt
