Hi guys,
So I've recently discovered that I've got somewhat of a flea infestation in my backyard (connected through my bedroom) - I've been bitten badly the past week thinking they were mosquitoes and nothing else - but then I actually saw the nasties and yep they're defo fleas.
My backyard is literally a small balcony where we do the laundry and where I'm growing a couple of plants (like rocket and bokchoi for my dragon and tortoise). Now my mum said that they could've sprouted from the soil itself because of my daily watering and the sudden heat waves we've been having (I live in the Mediterranean - it's hell at the moment). And every time I go to water the plants and do laundry (And I sometimes leave my dragon running about in there whilst I'm doing those activities - not any more though!) I get attacked by them and they stick to my clothes and I unintentionally end up bringing them inside.
What can I do to get rid of them please? I'd rather not use pesticide because of the plants (esp the ones I feed to myself and my reptiles) Oh and we have no dogs or cats that could've carried the fleas - but my neighbours above me have a cat I think, but I doubt how that would've happened.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks!
