About outside fleas--my boss, breeder of springers, showed me her latest purchase: nematodes. Apparently you are supposed to scatter them on your lawn and water them, and the little critters take care of your fleas all organically without poison. I've had no nematode experience, but since this is flea-time I thought folks might be interested. And I'd like to say a digest-list is better personally for me than a newsgroup, since I can really only get on-line during lunch or coffee- break time. Thanx!
