I'm so mad! Gosh, I want to scream. Years ago, I had a tick infestation in my home. The ticks were so many that I cld see them climbing the walls of my home and they were also biting me. Luckily, someone recommended me frontline and a good pest company. Since then, I've been absolutely tick-free, seriously. My dog is also healthy and tick-free.
But recently, I discovered ticks in my home! There have been 5 so far. I found 3 in my bedroom, 2 in my living room, on my dog. The ones on her were dead cos of her frontline, but the ones in my room were alive. Imagine my shock and anger that they are in my house again! I'm so angry. I checked the pets room very carefully then, armed with a can of pesticide. My bf checked the cats and tiny pets, while I checked the chins and rabbits. Am really angry. But no one had it in the pets room, and they haven't appeared there.
I got bitten on the bum by 1 from my bedroom, cos it was inside my underwear, and I didn't know! I took it from the cupboard and wore it. Afterwards when I felt itchy, I went to check and *gasp* it had bit me on my bum! I put Mopiko and the bite hurts for this past week. The only possible conclusion that I can come to is... my neighbour's dog has ticks. Seriously, cos my dog has been on frontline all this while, it's almost foolproof. Ticks die within 24 hours of getting on her. It's been years since the infestation and now, someone is passing me her dog's ticks. Am really really angry.
I suspect that my neighbour plucks off the ticks, and instead of drowning them or burning them or killing them, she throws them out the window (serious, there are pp who do this). The ticks don't die, they just float through the air till they are in another home. I want to scream at the top of my lungs.
