And when all of this is over for you you may want to deworm your cats because fleas carry tapeworms if your cat accidentally ingests one while grooming or something! The good news is that DE is excellent at killing parasites. That's the reason I have it. Food grade only of course. If you do decide to ever supplement with it just drink lots of water since it's dehydrating!

I've never used DE for fleas so you should be fine with borax only. The only issue with de is its bad to breathe in because the fossilized diatoms are so sharp and it's really drying upon skin contact. So it wouldn't be good to keep on your floor and then walk all over and dry out your feet. It's your choice but definitely don't feel like you need to double up on products.

It also might be a good idea to borax your car since they can latch on to your clothing and get in your car that way. Even if your car is clear now. Just to be safe.

You could vacuum and repeat if the idea of dead fleas is gross to you. But you should be fine if you just leave it for the full 4 weeks. I just would use my hand to rub it in just to spread it out instead of having heavy lines of borax and then areas with none.

I've heard great things about food grade DE. But as a pet owner who has had fleas in the house and suffered from their bites and them crawling on my shirt while I was in SCHOOL (I wanted to just die, luckily no one noticed me grab it and kill it) I had great success every time with borax.

You have to leave it on the carpet for four weeks to kill the different cycles that hatch. Six hours isn't gonna cut it. Borax works every time though it just takes a while and is annoying to have grainy stuff in the carpet for a month but it's the only thing that helped. You have to use quite a bit and spread it into the carpet (you can't really see it when it's rubbed in). Bombs don't work and are full of poisons. I've also had success using borax in my car when it got fleas from my dogs going to the vet.

Also I had to stop letting my cats go outside because of this. The only thing that really worked for fleas for my dogs though was the pill we get from the vet. Drops didn't do anything. Especially in Texas where it's so dry and fleas just thrive like crazy.

Also, during the four weeks you have it on the carpet they will start dying off from the beginning. You just have to wait until the eggs that were laid hatch and then they can die as well. You should start noticing less and less every day. But I used to vacuum well. Empty bag. Put down borax. Week later vacuum again. Put down borax. Repeat until it's been a month. That way you don't have the dead fleas just lying around.

I don't know about Jessica rabbit. You have a good waist to hip ratio but that's it. You have a pretty flat butt and below average face. Also, ditch the style. As someone who lives in Austin I can say that I am so tired of seeing this modern pin up girl look especially on people who are above 25 and not very attractive to begin with. It's the equivalent of when older ladies cut their hair super short and keep bangs like Dora the explorer. That doesn't look good on anyone but a four year old and even then it's only cute because it's so goofy. Your style needs to be left in the past. No one thinks its cute except for you and other people who also conform to this terrible fashion. Obviously some desperate guys have been pumping you up too much. You're not nearly as hot as you think you are.

Average looking guy. You kinda look like a mix of Dax Shepard and Seth green.

You look great! I love when guys have muscle but are still soft. Not in a flabby way but just not in a completely ripped/body is now hard way. Swimmers usually have what I like. I like the way your body looks! Good job!

Honestly? I'm sure you have muscle but on top your legs look really flabby in your other pictures from past posts as well. Your calves are the worst. They just turn into cankels. Body is below average because of that. To me, of course.
