They're nothing but a big pain in the butt, so to speak. That's why I'm thrilled my home is on the second storey of this apartment building! The cats who presently live with me are totally-indoors people; and that, combined with our elevation from ground level, means neither fleas nor ticks will be hanging out here.
Before moving here, we'd lived on the ground floor with two indoors-outdoors cats as well as the two previously-mentioned home-bodies. (Plus our totally-outdoors neighbor, Mr. Cat himself, would visit us on occasion. And the raccoon neighbors would stop by, also.) Consequently, at least twice a year we'd have to vacate the premises to flea-bomb the place; and Advantage became a household fixture.
Ah, what a relief is this flea-free environment! I suppose, however, the little creatures are figuring out how to mount the stairs even as we speak.
