Global Warming Means Fleas Around Longer

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Because the warmer seasons are lasting longer, many places in the Northern Hemisphere are having problems with fleas. It used to be that many cities and states were too cold for fleas or, a least, they disapperad in the wintertime. But due to Global Warming, flea season is now year round in many new places.

Are you and your pets being made miseable by fleas? Here is some basic information about fleas to get you up to speed on this problem.

Identification and Important Facts about Fleas - Fleas not only cause an itchy problem for you and your pets; they also can pose a number of health problems if a flea infestation is not kept under control. You know if your pet has fleas by the incessant scratching and biting on their coats and skin. If they scratch and bite enough, the skin will break open, inviting infection. The same principle follows when you are bitten by fleas too. Do you know how to recognize flea bites and the pesky critters themselves?

Description of the Flea - Fleas are very small, usually no bigger than 1/16 of an inch. They are dark in color, usually a reddish-brown, with a flat body. Fleas have no wings but the body is covered with tiny spines and they have long legs perfect for jumping. There are four stages of the flea’s life cycle: the egg, larva, pupa and the adult, capable of biting. One single flea is capable of laying several thousand eggs in its lifetime – the reason why flea infestations can occur so quickly!

A Few Facts about Fleas - Fleas love warmer weather as it is easier for them to survive and reproduce. In fact, in southern regions and newer place, fleas procreate year-round. Over 90% of fleas experience their life stages in the environment of a pet or other animal, rather than the pet itself. For the most part, animals are affected by only the adult fleas that have the mouth for biting and the legs for jumping.

When fleas are a problem in a particular pet, not just the pet should be treated. Obviously the eggs, larvae and pupa of the flea have been laid around the environment such as the immediate yard, rugs inside the home, animal beds, furniture and even curtains, bed linens and anywhere else the animal has roamed. Killing just the adult fleas is not enough. Treating the entire pet environment is necessary to kill the fleas in the other three stages of development.

Flea allergy dermatitis, tapeworm and anemia may result in pets affected by fleas. All three can severely compromise the health of your pet if left untreated. Fleas are easy to treat but with more aggressive cases, you may have to do it several times. There are plenty of effective topical treatments for the pets themselves but you may also have to treat the yard as well as the home with a fogger that will kill the eggs, larvae and pupa that will eventually hatch into adult biting fleas.

Once you can get a flea infestation under control, the preventative maintenance is a breeze. While you or your pets can definitely get fleas from other sources, you cannot control those areas. You can only control your own (and your pet’s) environment.

New Homes in Texas

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

I have always wanted to own a home of my own in Texas, but I have never had the money to. It isn’t that I haven’t made enough money in my job, but I haven’t made home ownership enough of a priority. I’ve never really spent enough time saving money. Usually, it is out of my pocket as quickly as I can spend it. I have been renting a home this past year in Portland, watching new homes being put up behind my lot. It is amazing how quickly this new construction goes up. When I first got here, there was a big empty lot behind our backyard. Six months later, there is not a single spot that doesn’t have a new home on it. The homes are not completely finished, but they are getting pretty close.

Living near all these Texas new homes has got me thinking. It really does make sense for me to buy a home. When you are renting, you get no equity out of the money you put in. You just pay your rent to your landlord every month, and that is it. You never gain anything. With new homes, however, you have an investment. You are not just throwing money away, you get something from it.

I began to realize that, if I make the right financial choices, it won’t be hard for me to buy a new home. The market goes in cycles, but if you are willing to keep an eye out for the right moment to buy, you can get some pretty good financing for building your own home. Portland probably isn’t the place to do it however. In the next couple years, property is only going to continue to skyrocket, so I probably missed my chance to buy a home in Oregon.

That is why I have been thinking about moving lately. I have a friend who is a contractor in Florida, and he told me a lot about the new homes construction going on over there. Apparently, they’re putting up new homes like mad, but having trouble finding buyers. They overestimated the market, and as a result they can’t sell all the houses that they’re making.

Since I have a job that mostly involves telecommuting, this might be the perfect chance for me to buy Texas real estate. It will be hard to leave my friends and move across the family, but it might be worth it.
