The problem is a bit strange, out in the yard and on the porch, even when around the animals, the fleas are not an issue, only in the house.

I read the baby and adult fleas are pretty easy to kill but the larva are very hard to kill, supposedly salt and/or borax will dry it out and kill them.

Picked up some flea bombers today, hopefully we can get this under control. Arson isn't covered under the insurance policy......

A bit extreme, but, certainly effective......

Was anyone aware that Fords ecoboost engine line are DIRECT injected?

That's pretty wild. Dodge/Chrysler has no direct injection gas engine as far as i know. Although the HEMI is rumored to get direct injection in 2015???

Just another kick down the ladder towards the ancient label for our old, cast iron, gas guzzling, emissions emitting work horses

^ Didn't know that.

Ford takes a lot of heat because F.O.R.D is such an easy target, but, they make a pretty good vehicle.

I knew that! I believe they started using direct injection around 2010, at least in their v6 Mustang. GM uses direct injection in the Camaro as well.

There's a class action lawsuit regarding Ecoboost engines as well.

As far as "gas guzzling" and emissions emitting You kids make me laugh. Go fire up a pre-1973 gasser V8.

What's this about a class action lawsuit?

Hey just cuz you're an old fart doesn't mean you can make fun of us young uns.

By today's standards they are gas guzzling and emission emitting

I'm with Gary. The rigs I drove when I was 16!! Chevy 283 or 350 with a Holly double pumper on it. Or a dual quad high rise with 2 Carters on it.
