what is the best way to kill all those fleas
 

... all of them.
I am not the only one who suffers from those fleas but also my dogs. They scream almost every night. Every summer, they become the whole giant army appear everywhere in my back yard. We have been using the insect terminate or terminator something from Home Depot and Walmart. Usually it works but this summer there are much more of them. Every time I got to this particular corner of the back yard, they are on my legs. I spray this thing everywhere in the back yard several times daily since weeks now and they are still there, 6 one gallon bottle already.
Originally these fleas are not from my dogs. We can tell they are from the Possum. I hate these Possum too. I tried to chase them away, hit them with stick, shot them with bb gun and no help. Now, their fleas are another reason for me to ready to kill them all.
Anyone know a good way to chase them both away, Possum and fleas?

Does these little guys have prison tats or something? How do you know they are from Folsom? No fleas up here, maybe you're the reason! :D

hahahaha... well Dave, they are concentrated in a corner of the yard and we usually found the Possum there behind the barn (not sure if this is the right word to use). Actually, one of my little dog found and killed of the small Possum there before the bigger Possum chased him around. I came out at night and saw my dog was running first, while crying, after him was a biggo Possum chasing after him... showing his fangs.
Hey I really need to kill thes fleas.

Another thing, what kind of dog do you have?

I'm stumped and Google is no help!

What the heck is a "folsom"? Is that another name for a possum?

sorry guys. Why my E is so bad. It's probably possum. Not to blame but I always hear pople call it possum and never have a chance to write about it. I will make correction.

Folsom = possum in Romania...

sighh... so I was correct, then I thought I wasn't, now I knew I was correct. What am I going to do? Edit the term again? Alright, back to Folsom.
Thanks Danny.

LOL. Dude, I'm just kidding. I have no idea how to say "possum" in Romania and I had no idea you were from Romania. It's "possum" or "opossum".

Ah jeez, this is too much! Quoted for future laughs. :D

What the H. You made me change the word again to Folsom. Now I gotta a change it back to possum? Who said english is easy?

My Romanian is a bit hazy.

I got more than I wanted when I searched "Folsom" in Google images with no image filter. :eek::eek::eek:

I had a possum living under my house and the fleas were insane. My cat, who never went outside, had fleas from the possum.

First thing: get rid of the possum! Trap it, or call a wildlife rescue service to trap it. Get rid of anything in your yard that attracts possums (dog food, water bowls, dropped fruit, etc.).

Then, treat your dogs with a flea medication (Frontline, etc.). Keeping the dogs inside during flea season will help, too. What kind of dogs are they? If long-hair, you may want to have them shaved in the summer to make it easy to see/remove the fleas. Brush the dogs daily. Bathe weekly.

Treat your carpeting indoors with boric acid (powder!). This will eradicate the eggs.

Final advice: Dogs + fleas = headache. Get a cat.

Stop it Dave. If you were to speak another brand new language, we would have much bigger laught. Anyway, I learn more this way.

Danny,
The Possum used to live in the corner of the property but now they are gone since we fight them too much. But they still come back at night for the fruit. We have some trees here. Many times I caught those 2 bright eyes up on the trees.
Yes, we shower and treat the dogs often. But it only clean the dogs, from fleas, for only couple weeks. This summer season, shower and medication only work for a day or less on the dogs. These are little dogs, we have long hair and short hair both.
Yes, headache.

I've made my fair share of mistakes in other languages. I believed Danny for a moment as well, then I too searched Google and found out folsom = folsom in Romanian, I was even going to call a Romanian friend up!

Besides, Livi gets it too. Ask him about fluffing some time.

So RNLN...are you Romanian?

Here's a folsom from the backyard of my parent's house in Dallas:

I named the photo "folsom.jpg" so maybe it will make its way to the Google image search results one day.
