I'm not really much of a hater, in the right circumstances I mostly go-along get-along. But do me no wrong because I can be world-class in the hate department, which brings me to my feelings about insects. Not butterflies and other vegetarians, just the ones that bite, sting or dine on your bodily fluids. Among these parasitic carnivores few are as detestable as fleas. It's something of a toss-up though, in the light heavyweight league which includes mosquitoes ticks chiggers bedbugs lice etc. Tiny, irritating, hard to be rid of once they've moved in. There is a true heavyweight insect division, however, creatures far worse. One so vile I hate to admit having ever contracted them, and more than once. I wonder if you've made the acquaintance yourself of the most terrible, miserable insect of them all... the scabies mite. You get these, quite frankly, by sleeping around however the circumstance with strange and perhaps only vaguely known persons. There, I've said it so now you know, or you already knew from personal experience.
But enough of this ramble and on to why I advise you to contact Rich Love if you have an insect problem outside your home. Rich does a lot of work on large properties and farms, but certainly will take care of smaller sites as well. My own yard isn't large, but I had a bigtime invasion of fleas. They arrived on the raccoon that I have kindly allowed to live under my back deck during May/June to raise her brood. But these fleas got desperate when their host, "my" raccoon, left. After that, they somehow creeped into my house, likely crawling through the small airgap under my backdoor. I have dealt with fleas inside, but not when they keep reappearing. I quickly realized the damned things were all over my property and wanted me for their new food supply. This meant no more mr niceguy, time to get professional help.
I like people who know agriculture, they're used to dealing with a variety of issues that need to be addressed asap before they get out of control. Rich Love is definitely qualified to deal with insect invasions whether they're in your yard, small orchard or vineyard. He came the morning after I called him, examined the problem with a professional eye, and within half an hour had done the work at a very reasonable rate. My flea problem is now history.
Thanks, Rich. read more
